Magic Behind Bars: Emma Watson and Zoe Wanamaker Banned from Driving!
SCANDAL ALERT!
Harry Potter Superstar Emma Watson Banned from Driving for SIX MONTHS After Yet Another Speeding Offense!
The Scholary Note: In a shocking turn of events, Emma Watson, the beloved Hermione Granger from the iconic Harry Potter film series, has been slapped with a six-month driving ban after being caught speeding in her £30,000 Audi S3! This is not her first rodeo, folks - this is Watson's FOURTH driving offense in less than TWO YEARS!
According to sources close to the court, Watson, 35, pleaded guilty to driving at an alarming 38mph in a 30mph zone. Yes, you read that right - she was going nearly TWICE THE SPEED LIMIT! The Scholary Note has obtained exclusive details of her latest mishap, which went down on a restricted road in Oxford, where Watson has been pursuing her doctorate.
But wait, there's more! Watson's co-star from the Harry Potter franchise, Zoë Wanamaker, who played the iconic Quidditch referee Madam Hooch, appeared in the same court just moments later. And guess what? She also got a driving ban - for SIX MONTHS!
Wanamaker, 77, was caught doing a whopping 46mph in a 40mph zone on the M4 motorway near her home in Wiltshire. The Scholary Note has learned that this is Wanamaker's FOURTH driving offense in the past year alone! Talk about a pattern...
But let's get back to Watson. Her latest speeding stunt earned her three points on her license, which, combined with nine previous points from earlier offenses, put her over the limit and landed her with a six-month ban.
The judge handed down the sentence, saying: "Her licence will be endorsed with three points, a Band A fine, which would have been £1,000, reduced to £660 for her guilty plea at the first opportunity. She will pay a £264 surcharge and £120 costs, to be paid in full within 28 days."
Watson's lawyer reportedly had nothing but praise for his client, saying: "She is not seeking any special treatment and accepts that she will be disqualified from driving." Meanwhile, Watson's fans are left wondering what other secrets this superstar has up her sleeve.

It seems Emma Watson has a bit of a history with the law - remember when her Audi was impounded by police after she parked illegally outside a pub in Stratford-upon-Avon? Yes, that was back in February 2023. She received a £192 fine for that little mishap.
And did you know Watson has been spotted coxing the New College women's third rowing team at Oxford University? Talk about a new hobby!
But let's not forget her high-profile romance with fellow student Kieran Brown, who recently completed his own doctorate. The power couple was seen getting cozy at a Gail’s Bakery in Oxford last year.
