Harry Potter star Emma Watson swapped her broomstick for a hockey stick to take part in Oxford's first International Young Women's Hockey Festival at the weekend.
The 15-year-old plays Hermione Granger in the series of movies based on JK Rowling's bestselling books about the young wizard, and attends Headington School.
She took part in the festival as a member of the Rover Sports Oxford hockey team, which, along with City of Oxford and West Witney, faced players from Oxford's twin cities of Leiden, in Holland, and Bonn, in Germany.
The matches were played at the new Oxford University Sports Centre, in Jackdaw Lane, off Iffley Road. The girls also enjoyed a disco, ice-skating and a reception hosted by Jim Campbell, the Sheriff of Oxford, at the Town Hall.
The hockey festival was abandoned with just one match to go on Sunday, because of a hailstorm.
At the time West Witney and Leiden were joint leaders, but Leiden were eventually named victors, because of the number of matches they had won.
The girls then attended a celebratory party at West Oxford Community Centre, before the Dutch and German visitors set off for their flights home.
