Emma Watson, known for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, has been banned from driving for six months. She was caught speeding at 38mph in a 30mph zone in Oxford last year. The 35-year-old actress already had nine points on her license, and this latest offense added three more points, resulting in an automatic six-month driving ban.
