The UK actress had racked up a series of speeding tickets over the past two years
UK actress Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter films, lost her driving privileges for six months on Wednesday in Britain after racking up more than a dozen points on her driving record in the space of two years.
She was also ordered to pay more than £1,044 (US$1,400), according to multiple media reports on Wednesday.
Watson did not attend the hearing at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court, about 30 miles (48km) northwest of London. She had previously pleaded guilty to the offence via mail.
The Beauty and the Beast actress, 35, already had nine points on her record, the BBC reported, tied to offences in October 2023, November 2023 and January 2024.
The most recent citation came on July 31, 2024, for driving her Audi A3 38mph (61km/h) in a 30mph zone, according to The Mirror.
