Charged! Harry And The Pot Smoker
Filed under: Anglophilia > Drugs > Legal Matters > Harry Potter
Don't forget that marijuana is still illegal, y'all!
Jamie Waylett, the Harry Potter star caught with an assload of weed back in April, is screwed!
Waylett, who plays Hogwart's resident bully Vincent Crabbe in the series, was caught with 8 bags of pot in his Audi, and when the police scoured his mom's 3-story-home in Camden, they found 10 plants of fully matured marijuana!!!
The 19-year-old has just been charged with "producing a Class B drug," which holds a maximum 14-year prison sentence!!!
Waylett is expected in a Westminster court later this month to seal his fate.

that sucks. gotta love the herb
That's really unfortunate. I believe that marijuana should be LEGALIZED, or at the very least, decriminalized.
OMG thats what hapens to YOUNG hollywood stars!
LULZ pothead
Awww that really sucks! I guess they'll have to replace him in the HP films then if he gets sentenced to jail
Maybe Prince Harry 3rd in line for the throne can pardon him?!
Wow, sucks for him. These actors need to be more sneakier.
Alchohol should b illegal
this is like a modern day version of "the Little Rascals" or "The Different Strokes" kids.
Give me a break - it's weed! The laws really need to be changed!
Guess who we won't be seeing in the big two-parter?
too bad he isn't Hogwarts' resident Bully, he is one of the two henchmen. if you are at least going to pretend you give a crap about Harry Potter how about you put down that swill known as twilight and read a real effing book series.
lets not kid ourselves, will he fuck go down for it, does anyone?
OH NO!!! This really sucks!!! He's supposed to be in Deathly hallows…but this really sucks! Seriously what was he thinking?? Selling weed!?
This is bullllllshit
fuck da police.
puff puff passssssssss.
Not to ruin this for anyone who hasn't read the books, but he dies anyway. Nothing to worry about, if you ask me.
That sucks. LEGALIZE THE WEED!!!
Well they're going to have to find someone to replace him in the seventh movie because he's going to jail.
Thats stupid man, Marijuana SHOULD BE LEAGEL~
If he recieved a 14-year sentence, it would cost taxpayers over a half a million dollars to keep the "criminal" locked up. Maybe California will pay for that with IOU's.
Hey, at least the government won't lose their jobs. Prison is recession-proof!
Guess he wont be in the last Harry Potter movie…
WHAT! THATS WAY TOO HARSH!
.
I wonder if England has 2 different justice systems, like America does.
One system for common folk, and another system for the rich and famous.
.
Can't imagine that Jamie will get anywhere near the 14-year max sentence.
Meh, no big deal, he dies in the last book anyway.
they dont fuck around over there eh, glad i live in beautiful British Columbia when smoking pot is not so so bad
i'm not understanding the reasoning as to why drugs, i.e. marijuana, are illegal. if anything, it doesn't affect anyone except the user. and if it's used for recreation and not violent drug-dealing, then what's the problem? i've never even done any kind of drug in my life but the harsh sentencing for possessing a PLANT from NATURE seems a little extreme.
Very sad. Not making fun of him but if they ever made a movie about Fatty
Arbuckle he would be great in it.
free the weed!!!
WHY IS WEED ILLEGAL?!!!!
oh em GEE. That poor fucking kid. There's rapist out there doing less time than he is… fucking corrupt, I tell - CORRUPT!
14 years?! HOLY SHIT! That's outrageous! Legalize it… yooo
Wow, I guess weed really does cause the munchies….
Dude this is redic! I am in so much shock. I mean yes, drugs are illegal but 14 years? are you kidding me, that too long, they need to stop putting away druggies for so long and waste there money on something that could actually fucking help this country, tax payers dish out so much money to put petty drug dealers and shit away, what about the people that are getting away with murder. IM JUST SO APPALLED.
Ridiculous. A creative nineteen year old actor grows a few pot plants, but thieving expense padding British political scum walk free. WMD indeed. How to guide and steer the sometimes rebellious impressionable young towards a bright future. You'd think none of those wankers were ever young.
OK, I get it, the kid had a shitload of marijuana and the plants, so growing, distributing, sale, etc….But he's looking at up to 14 years and Pete Doherty does every illegal "drug" known to mankind and gets a free pass every time - Legalize it already and free up the jails for the real criminals - ps. does Harry Potter movies not pay well? Sheesshh
WTF??? those taxpayers should be PISSED!! why the frick are we still prosecuting for this?? what about alcohol, legal perscription/ fugg even asprin KILLS but u dont see the makers in fuggin Jail!!! WAKE UP AMERICA
Re: OlDirtyDawson – seeing as he is in britain why would that affect people in california?
Re: greeningreeneNY – he isnt in america……
It was only a class C drug though when he got caught… it changed back to B early this year!
10 plants… takes 3 months to produce…maybe he just smoked alot of weed…
LEGALIZE IT!!!
Time to LEGALIZE. What a waste of police time.
He's ugly and fat!
Our world is ass-backwards. IT'S JUST A PLANT.
That's old news. He's been having problems with drugs for a long time.
wholeeey .
what a douche .
HAHAHAHA!
WWW.NORML.ORG
THAT SUCKS. BUT DON'T BE STUPID!
OMG HAHAHAHAHA
serves you right for smoking pot.
Well, lets hope that theyll let him finish DH before he recieves "the knowledge of his fate".
THAT SUX IF HE GOES TO JAIL WHO WILL PLAY HIM IN THE NEXT HP MOVIE?
pfffft, potheads.
marajuiana is illegal for a reason dickheads
This is a bad example for why weed should be legalized, this guy is not a recreational user, its obvious he was a drug dealer… Weed legalization activists promote legalization for medical and recreational uses. Just like you cant make your own alcohol and sell it in large quantities… ah, fuck it. Smoke that shit UPPPP!
