Hermione in Trouble Over a Housekeeper

Hermione in trouble over a housekeeper

In news that’s less Harry Potter and more Bling Ring, British immigration officials are investigating Emma Watson over claims that her American housekeeper might have worked for the actress illegally in the U.K.

The Harry Potter actress allegedly had her U.S. housekeeper accompany her to London on a tourist visa even though the employee continued to work for Watson while in the U.K, the Independent reports. While on tourist visas, visitors to the U.K. are forbidden from working. A spokesperson for Watson didn’t comment to the Independent.

I thought this was interesting being that they have no issue with fanatical Islamos invading the country threatening and chopping up the populace. But a housekeeper? A HOUSEKEEPER? Whoa! That's a $17,000 fine!

She should have claimed to be Muslim.

She could use her necklace to go back and time and get her admitted under the right visa. But hey, what’s $17k?

Was she actually being paid in the UK? Or was her salary automatically deposited in her US bank account? In that case, you might expect her to be treated like an American executive on a business trip.
