With a £67million fortune and a gift for wizardry, you’d think there was nothing Emma Watson couldn’t fix.

But it seems there is no magic spell powerful enough to restore a dented Audi A3.

The Harry Potter star appeared to have suffered an uncharacteristic mishap in the vehicle, which was spotted with noticeable damage to its front wing.

As studious Hermione Granger in the film series about J.K. Rowling‘s boy wizard, she might have invoked a Reparo spell with a flick of her wand for a seamless repair.

But having hung up her Hogwarts robe 13 years ago, Ms Watson had to make do with duct tape.

The British actress, 33, was seen arriving in the patched-up car to a lunch date with a mystery man at upmarket eaterie The Ivy in North London’s St John’s Wood last week.

She spent two hours inside the restaurant with the dark-haired man before they left separately – although Ms Watson was spotted moments later picking him up from the next street.

Ms Watson, who is thought to have been single since ending her romance with Sir Philip Green’s son Brandon, drove off with the man in the passenger seat.

Over the years she has dated Made In Chelsea’s Francis Boulle, Spanish musician Rafael Cebrian and fellow Oxford graduate Will Adamowicz. But none have lasted.

Ms Watson has become one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses. Starring roles in Beauty And The Beast and in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women have cemented her career beyond her iconic role as Hermione in the Harry Potter franchise.

But she has also become known for her outspoken views on feminism and politics – pitting herself against J.K. Rowling by openly backing trans rights.
