The crew and cast of the Harry Potter franchise are forever linked by the fact that they worked on the beloved film saga. However, two of its members are now also linked by dual legal situations. Emma Watson, who’s famous for portraying Hermione Granger, was wrapped up in a court-related matter. Coincidentally, co-star Zoë Wanamaker – who portrayed Madame Hooch – ended up in court on the same day and for the same reason. With that, we have details on the wild turn of events.
Emma Watson was involved in a car-related incident in Oxford, England on July 31, 2024. At that time, a camera clocked the 35-year-old actress going 38 mph in a 30 mph zone and, before the incident, Watson reportedly already had nine points on her driver’s licence. EW reports that a hearing was held this week, and Watson did not attend. Ultimately, a judge of the High Wycombe Magistrates' Court ordered that Watson be banned from driving for six months and ordered her to pay a fine of £1,044, which amounts to roughly $1,400.
