Harry Pothead Actor's Free Time Goes Up in Smoke
Warner Bros.
If botany hasn't already been removed from the curriculum over at Hogwarts, now might be a good time.
Jamie Waylett, the Harry Potter bully turned small scale marijuana cultivator, was sentenced this morning to 120 hours of community service for his illicit green thumb. Draco Malfoy's wingman could have faced up to 14 years behind bars after pleading guilty last week to growing 10 cannabis plants in his mother's home.
Nancy Botwin he's not.
During the 15-minute hearing, the judge said he decided against sending the actor—who has appeared in all six Harry Potter flicks, including the reigning box-office champ—to jail, as the makeshift farm was done on a "small scale" and Waylett himself was quick to cop to the error of his ways.
"I give you credit for pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity, your cooperation with police and the fact that you are, until now, a man of good character," the judge tutted.
Outside the courthouse, Waylett, who celebrates his 20th birthday today, was quick to make amends with both his fans and employers. (Incidentally, how much you wanna bet he opts for a quiet night in?)
"I extend my sincere apologies to the producers, cast and crew and all at Warners and most especially to all Harry Potter fans," he said.
The next time Vincent Crabbe wants to get high, he may want to stick with his magic broomstick.
