Actor from "Harry Potter" franchise has had his driving privileges revoked.
**British Actress Emma Watson Receives Six-Month Driving Ban**
Emma Watson, the beloved British actress known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, has been handed a six-month driving ban. The ban comes as a result of multiple driving offences, including speeding and improper parking.
After the Harry Potter franchise catapulted Watson to international fame, she went on to star in notable films such as "Little Women" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." However, her focus has shifted in recent years, with Watson taking a break from acting to pursue a master's degree at Oxford University.
The incident leading to Watson's ban occurred outside a pub in Stratford, where her improper parking blocked an exit, necessitating a call to the police. In addition to this offence, Watson was caught speeding in a 48 km/h zone, driving at 60 km/h.
The points-based system for driving offences in the UK means that each infraction adds points to a driver's license. At the time of her hearing, Watson had nine points on her license, with the new offence adding another three. Accumulating 12 or more points within a three-year period typically results in a mandatory six-month driving disqualification.
Despite the ban, Watson remains dedicated to her studies and activism. She has previously faced driving offences, including an incident where her car was towed away for improper parking. Watson's acting career may take a brief hiatus, but her commitment to education and activism continues to thrive.
Meanwhile, the Harry Potter franchise is set for a new lease of life, with HBO recently announcing a TV series remake of the beloved books. It remains to be seen whether Watson will return to the magical world of Hogwarts, but for now, fans will have to wait and see.
