Actor Emma Watson has been barred from driving for six months after she was caught speeding last year.

Watson, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” series, drove her blue Audi 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford, England, on July 31 of last year.

The 35-year-old was made to pay a total of £1,044, or roughly $1,400, at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

Watson, who is earning a degree in creative writing from the University of Oxford, already had nine points on her license.

She did not attend her short court hearing on Wednesday,

Watson’s former “Harry Potter” co-star, Zoe Wanamaker — who played Hogwarts professor Madam Hooch — was similarly caught speeding last year in West Berkshire, England, roughly 60 miles west of London.

The 76-year-old drove her blue Volvo at 46 mph in a 40 mph zone, according to the court.

Hooch was also fined £1,044 and banned from driving for six months, and did not attend her hearing.

Representatives for the actors did not immediately return requests for comment.
