No magic fix: ‘Harry Potter' stars banned from driving
Emma Watson, 35, was banned for driving at 38 miles (61 km) an hour in a 30-mile zone in southeastern Banbury last July. Arturo Holmes/ Getty Images/ AFP LONDON — Emma Watson and another actress from the "Harry Potter" films were each banned from driving for six months Wednesday after being caught speeding in separate incidents. Watson, 35, who played Hermione Granger, the friend of boy wizard Potter in the hugely popular movie franchise, was banned for driving at 38 miles (61 km) an hour in a 30-mile zone in southeastern Banbury last July. Zoe Wanamaker, 76, who played Quidditch teacher Madame Hooch in "Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone," was banned for six months for her offense. She had been caught driving at 46 miles an hour in a 40-mile zone of the M4 motorway in southeastern Berkshire last August. The cases were dealt with separately by a lower magistrates court in the town of High Wycombe. Neither of the stars attended the hearings, at which they were each fined £1,044 ($1,400). Watson, who was stopped while driving her blue Audi, has been studying at Oxford University. Her lawyer told the court that although she was a student "she is in a position to pay the fine." — Agence France-Presse
