Harry Potter stars Emma Watson and Zoe Wanamaker have both been banned from driving by the same court over speeding offences.
Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the film franchise, was caught out by a camera in Oxford last July, while Wanamaker - Madam Hooch in the Potter series – broke the limit in Newbury last August.
Both erstwhile wizards were sentenced on Wednesday in the same courtroom at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court.
Watson admitted driving her blue Audi at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford, on the evening of July 31 last year.
The 35-year-old, who has been studying at the University of Oxford, was banned for six months and made to pay a total of £1,044 in fines and court fees.
Her lawyer Mark Haslam told the court that she is a student, adding: “She is in a position to pay the fine.”
Wanamaker, who starred alongside Watson in Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone in 2001, was caught speeding on August 7, 2024, on the M4 in Newbury, Berkshire.
The 76-year-old My Family star drove her blue Volvo at 46mph in a 40mph limit, the court heard.
She was also told to pay £1,044, together with a six-month ban.
Wanamaker’s lawyer Duncan Jones said that she was not asking for “special treatment” and accepted the fine.
District Judge Arvind Sharma was told that both Watson and Wanamaker separately had nine points on their driving licences before their latest offences.
Three extra penalty points put them in line for an automatic ban.
Neither actress attended their short hearings.
