Harry Potter actor Jamie Waylett has apologised to his fans after he was sentenced to community service for growing cannabis plants.
The actor, who plays bully Vincent Crabbe in the hugely popular franchise, escaped a jail sentence after admitting to growing 10 cannabis plants at his mother's house.
The 20-year-old actor was sentenced to 120 hours community service at Westminster Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The Judge decided on community service rather than a jail sentence because the growing of the drugs "was not in any way a commercial venture".
Judge Timothy Workman added, "I give you credit for pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity, your co-operation with police and the fact that you are, until now, a man of good character."
After sentencing, Waylett said, "I extend my sincere apologies to the producers, cast and crew and all at Warners and most especially to all Harry Potter fans."
