Emma Watson has been banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding at 38 mph in a 30 mph zone on July 31, 2024, in Oxford. The 35-year-old actress, known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise, was fined £1,044 (about $1,400) during a hearing at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court, as she had previously accumulated nine points on her driving record, according to BBC, Independent, and CBS News.

Watson did not attend the brief court hearing but had acknowledged her guilt by mail beforehand. This latest speeding incident adds to her prior points, which were incurred from offenses between October 2023 and January 2024, as reported by LA Times and South China Morning Post.

In addition to her recent driving troubles, Watson's Audi previously faced police impoundment for blocking other vehicles, highlighting ongoing issues with her driving habits. She is currently focused on her studies, pursuing a PhD in creative writing at Oxford University, as mentioned by Channel News Asia and LA Times.
