Hold on to your broomsticks! Two stars from the enchanting world of “Harry Potter,” Emma Watson and Zoe Wanamaker, have traded their spellbooks for speeding tickets. Both actresses were hit with six-month driving bans after getting caught speeding in separate incidents. Who knew that Hermione Granger and the beloved Madame Hooch had a need for speed?
Emma Watson’s magical misstep occurred when she was clocked driving 38 miles per hour in a 30-mile zone. Not exactly the kind of sorcery we expect from a Hogwarts graduate! Meanwhile, Zoe Wanamaker was sidelined for driving 46 miles per hour in a 40-mile zone. It seems even the best of us can misread the laws of man—no enchantments can save you from a traffic infraction!
Neither attended their court hearings, and each received a fine of just over £1,000. It’s safe to say that these Hollywood witches learned the hard way that the traffic laws in the Muggle world are as real as they come. Who would have thought that, in the end, magical powers can’t get you out of the situation? What other celebrity drivers do you think could use a little brake pedal magic?
