Rioting Harry Potter actor jailed two years
THE British actor who played bully Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter movies was jailed for two years overnight after he was convicted of violent disorder during the London riots in August last year.
Jamie Waylett was captured by security cameras on a number of occasions during the riots in Chalk Farm, north London, swigging from a stolen bottle of champagne and carrying a petrol bomb.
The 22-year-old was part of a gang of at least four people who took to the streets during the third night of violence in the capital, London's Wood Green Crown Court heard.
The actor, of West Hampstead, north London, admitted handling stolen goods - the bottle of champagne that had been stolen from a supermarket.
But he was cleared of intending to destroy or damage property with the petrol bomb he was pictured holding.
After he was identified in the video footage and brought in for questioning, Waylett told police that he was "fascinated" by the civil unrest, but denied taking an active part in the violence.
