Earlier, the actress had pleaded guilty to illegal parking. Last year, her car was towed away after it was parked in a no-parking area outside the Rose and Crown pub in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Coincidentally, Watson was not the only Harry Potter star, who got a fine for the driving offence on Wednesday (July 16). In the same court, her co-star Zoe Wanamaker, who played Madam Hooch in the first Harry Potter movie, was fined for speeding in the same court.
Watson shot to fame in 2001 after the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. However, the actress has taken a break from acting to focus on her studies. She was last seen in Greta Gerwig’s 2019 Little Women.
