Emma Watson’s VAG Obsession Gets Her in Trouble: Lost Her License After Speeding in an Audi S3!

We all knew Emma Watson as the clever, rule-abiding Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. But real life tells a different story! The 35-year-old actress has officially proven that she’s not just book-smart—she’s got a need for speed, especially when behind the wheel of her £30,000 Audi S3. Yes, Emma Watson is now officially a VAG girl, and proudly so!

38mph in a 30mph Zone: Caught Red-Handed in Oxford

The incident took place in Oxford, where Emma was studying for her doctorate. She was caught driving at 38mph in a 30mph zone. A speed camera recorded the moment, and the footage was enough to land her in trouble. The court ruled to ban her from driving for 6 months.

But here’s the kicker: this wasn’t her first offense. In fact, it was her fourth driving violation in less than two years. She already had 9 penalty points on her license. This new offense added 3 more points, triggering an automatic ban.

Her Car? A 310HP Audi S3 Beast

At the time of the incident, Watson was driving a £30,000 Audi S3, one of the hottest compact performance cars from the Volkswagen Group (VAG). Powered by a 2.0 TFSI engine pushing 310 horsepower, the car goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. Forget Hermione—this is more like “Turbo Granger”!

The Fine: £1,044 in Total

Emma’s need for speed came at a cost—literally. The breakdown of her fine goes as follows:

• £660 for the guilty plea,
• £264 as a surcharge,
• £120 in court fees.

Total damage: £1,044, payable within 28 days.

No Magic in the Courtroom

Coincidentally, Emma wasn’t the only Harry Potter alum in court that day. Her co-star Zoë Wanamaker, who played Quidditch referee Madam Hooch, also appeared in front of the judge shortly after. She was caught speeding as well—seems like magic doesn’t work on radar cameras!

Not Her First Parking Mishap Either

Let’s not forget: last February, her Audi made headlines when it was impounded by police after she parked it illegally outside a pub in Stratford-upon-Avon. The car blocked a pizza restaurant manager’s vehicle for more than three hours. Not cool, Hermione.

Final Verdict: Emma Watson, More Than Just a Bookworm — She’s a VAG Worm Now!

Emma Watson’s incident shows us one thing loud and clear: she’s got a passion for performance cars. And that Audi S3? It’s not just a daily driver—it’s a rocket. Unfortunately, even fame and intelligence can’t protect you from traffic points. Maybe a broomstick would’ve been safer?
