Waylett posed with cannabis plants for 'drug baron' snaps

Shamed Harry Potter star Jamie Waylett posed for a series of gangster-style snaps alongside his stash of cannabis plants just days before he was arrested for marijuana possession in April (09).

The 19 year old, who is known to millions of kids as Hogwarts bully Vincent Crabbe in the wizard franchise, was arrested after police pulled over his car and caught him in possession of several bags of weed.

His London home was subsequently raided by cops, who found the star was keeping 10 cannabis plants. He was charged with illegal production and narrowly missed a 14-year stint behind bars after being handed 120 hours community service.

But new photographs of the actor with his illegal collection of plants show the star shamelessly posing with his crop as he smoked the drug.

A pal tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Jamie is trying to look hard (tough) - like a drug baron surveying his empire. What a total idiot."

Waylett's character was written out of the series' final installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, after the incident.
