(FOX News) “Harry Potter” star Jamie Waylett has been charged with growing ten cannabis plants.


The 19-year-old actor will have to appear in court later this month for the charges stemming from an April arrest.


Waylett, who plays Potter bully Vincent Crabbe, was busted when cops pulled over his vehicle in London and allegedly found eight bags of marijuana. He was taken to a nearby police station before a team of officers raided his mother’s home in Camden, the Daily Telegraph reports.


A Metropolitan police spokeswoman said the actor would appear in court late this month and “is charged with producing a Class B drug, nearly ten plants of cannabis.”


The plants – valued at more than $3,000 – were allegedly found among DJ equipment and a Playstation, the Telegraph said.


Waylett may face up to 14 years for cannabis production, while the maximum charge for cannabis possession is five years.
