    Sad for many reasons. 14 years for marijuana? In Canada, murderers often serve less than that. Bad decision for the actor. From a career standpoint, Crabbe finally has a bigger role in the last book, would have been a good opportunity for him.

    What an idiot. Why would he risk throwing away his career for something so stupid?

  • Erin Bonham

    Pedophiles serve just months for ruining our children’s lives, yet growing some weed could get you 14 YEARS???? RIDICULOUS

    14 years is insane. hopefully he won’t get the maximum, but that all depends on the judge i guess.

    They pulled him over and searched his car because he took a picture of the police as he drove by them. I had no idea it was illegal to take pictures of the bobby’s in the UK. What a terrible country to live in.

    Prohibitionistas must be gleeful at the high-profile witch caught in their hunt.
    Shame Mr. Waylett is being persecuted for such a victimless act. He planted a FLOWER garden for Xrists sake.
    Live free or die trying!

    So Crabbe’s favorite subject is Herbology. Who knew?

    He obviously did it because he liked to live dangerously and he wanted to see if he could do it. He was probably getting ripped off by his former dealer and figured he could do it himself. I think if you were ridding around in a car with 8 bags of any illegal substance you would want to go from point A to B with minimal police interaction. I think taking a picture of a cop was the stupid part of this whole fandangle fiddigle wakazzam!!!! (waves wand)
