Emma Watson has been spotted publicly for the first time since being banned from driving in the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n
The 35-year-old actress, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d films, was recently photographed hiking in a sheer dress, according to Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n The sighting comes just weeks after Watson was barred from driving for six months following a speeding infraction. <\/p>\n In July 2024, she was caught driving 38 mph in a 30 mph zone, according to multiple U.K. media outlets<\/a>. At the time, she already had nine points on her license. The additional three points pushed her to the 12-point threshold that automatically triggers a U.K. driving ban.<\/p>\n A brief five-minute hearing on July 16 resulted in the suspension and a fine of \u00a31,044 (about $1,400). Reports noted that Watson did not attend the hearing.<\/p>\n The actress has kept a low profile in recent years while pursuing a master\u2019s degree in creative writing at the University of Oxford. She has not appeared on screen since her role as Meg March in 2019\u2019s \u201cLittle Women,\u201d though she has previously said a return to acting is \u201cabsolutely\u201d in her plans.<\/p>\n This story was written with the assistnace of AI.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
