Two stars of the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d films, including actress Emma Watson, were each banned from driving for six months Wednesday after being caught speeding in separate incidents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watson, 35, who played Hermione Granger, the friend of boy wizard Potter in the hugely popular movie franchise, was banned for driving at 38 miles (61 km) an hour in a 30-mile zone in southeastern Banbury last July.<\/p>\n

Zoe Wanamaker, 76, who played Quidditch teacher Madame Hooch in \u201cHarry Potter And The Philosopher\u2019s Stone\u201d, was banned for six months for her offence.<\/p>\n

She had been caught driving at 46 miles an hour in a 40-mile zone of the M4 motorway in southeastern Berkshire last August.<\/p>\n

The cases were dealt with separately by a lower magistrates court in the town of High Wycombe.<\/p>\n

Neither of the stars attended the hearings, at which they were each fined \u00a31,044 ($1,400).<\/p>\n

Watson, who was stopped while driving her blue Audi, has been studying at Oxford University. Her lawyer told the court that although she was a student \u201cshe is in a position to pay the fine\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
