Harry Potter star Emma Watson left fuming after her £30,000 Audi is towed away by cops as she enjoys night out at pub
EMMA Watson was left fuming after her car got towed away during a quick pint with pals.
The Harry Potter star, 33, bargained with tow truck drivers as they hauled her blue motor onto a flatbed in Stratford upon Avon yesterday.
She had not paid and displayed on the leafy market street before nipping into nearby boozer, the Rose and Crown.
It also meant the manager of a pizza restaurant across the street saw his own car "trapped" by the actress' for nearly four hours.
The Red Hot Mamma pizzeria boss told MailOnline: "Three and a half hours of searching for the driver was the last thing I needed after working a 12-hour shift.
"The car had parked in front of our gate which is a no-parking zone."

After a frantic dash around nearby restaurants and bars, the manager resorted to calling the cops.
"But when the police started to tow her car away, she came flying out of the pub shouting, 'That's my car, that's my car'," he added.
Apparently she had parked in front of some gates and blocked this guy in for hours."

She was snapped wearing a long black trench coat, black turtle neck jumper and beret, while begging officers and the tow truck employee to leave her car alone.
But no amount of bargaining worked, and the Harry Potter star would have to pay £192 to get her Audi S3 back - with a further £26 charge for every day it sat at the car pound.
An eyewitness added: "It must have been about 11pm when I saw Emma Watson outside in the street."
They claimed the actress was "pleading" with police to keep her vehicle.
"But they weren't listening and it was towed away. Apparently she had parked in front of some gates and blocked this guy in for hours," they added.
Warwickshire Police confirmed: "A report of a blue Audi S3 parked across a driveway and blocking in two cars on High Street near the junction with Sheep Street in Stratford.
"The report was made at 9.42pm and the car was impounded and taken away at 10.21pm.
"No crime was recorded."
It comes just weeks after Watson was seen driving the same Audi with a damaged front wing mirror, held together with duct tape.
The actress is best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films.
Watson went on to star in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring and This Is the End.
