Emma Watson has fallen foul of muggle speed limits after being caught driving at 38mph in a 30mph zone.
The 35-year-old Harry Potter star now faces up to six points on her licence as well as a maximum £1,000 fine after she was captured by a speed camera on a restricted road in Oxford.
Watson, who has reportedly been studying for a doctorate at Oxford University, was driving a £30,000 Audi S3 at the time, according to court records and national databases.
Her sentence will be handed down at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court next Wednesday.
It is not the first time Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Potter film series, has found herself cursed with car trouble.
In February last year her Audi was impounded by police after a night out in the Rose and Crown pub in Stratford-upon-Avon.
The star, whose last film appearance was in 2019’s Little Women, had apparently failed to spot a ‘no parking’ sign and left the Audi blocking a car park entrance.
A vehicle belonging to a pizza restaurant manager was trapped inside for three-and-a-half hours.

The manager – who had finished a 12-hour shift – trawled local restaurants in an effort to find the car’s owner before calling the police to have it towed.
As the blue Audi was being hauled on to a low loader, Watson came ‘flying out’ of the pub, where she had been enjoying an evening with her mother.
Despite her appeals the car was taken, earning her a £192 fine.
Watson became one of Hollywood’s best paid actresses after appearing in all eight Harry Potter movies from 2001 to 2011.
But she took the decision to step away from the spotlight following Little Women.
At Oxford, she has been coxing the New College women’s third rowing team and is said to be dating fellow student Kieran Brown, who just finished his doctorate at the university. They were spotted kissing at a Gail’s Bakery in the city last year.
Watson has also been at loggerheads with JK Rowling over the author’s views on trans issues.
The actress previously posted on X: ‘Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.’
