Jamie Waylett, the actor who plays Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter films, updated his online diary with some brief details about recent filming
for Goblet of Fire in Oxford:
I spent nearly the whole week filming just one scene, with Maggie Smith, Brendan Gleeson, Tom [Felton], Josh [Herdman] and Dan [Radcliffe]. It was great fun, I really enjoyed it.
As you will know, I'm not allowed to say too much about the filming, but I think that scene could turn out to be one of the funniest in all of the movies!
One can safely conjecture that this is the passage in the book where Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson) turns Draco Malfoy into a ferret. A recent report of ferrets being filmed for the movie seems to offer further credence.
Thanks to HarryLatino.com for the tip! That site was also able to ask Waylett a few exclusive questions and has sent us the English translations:
HarryLatino: How is filming with Mike Newell? What are the differences between the directors?
Jamie: All three directors have had very different styles, but all have been good to work with, they all knew we were children and they have helped us improve with their experience of filming.
Are you enjoying the filming?
Filming is usually fun, tutoring is OK, it's the waiting to go on set that can be very boring.
Which is your relationship with the other staff?
All the cast and crew get on very well, it's like a big family, we are all pleased to meet each other at the studio and talk about what we have done since we last met.
Have you spoken with J.K. Rowling?
I have only met J.K. Rowling twice, she gave me a big hug and told me I was just as she imagined Crabbe when she was writing her books.
Jamie was recently in Spain on holiday. "I had a great time in Salou," he told HarryLatino. "I have been on holiday to Spain three times and really enjoyed each time, the people were so friendly and the food was good."

Thats cool - I cant wait for the next movie. I am happy to see that most of the cast will be in the 5th one too. I think the movies are better when the same cast returns.

yay!! i hope this is the scene with the ferret, because that is the basis of the funniness in GoF. I cant wait until the movie comes out, and its nice to hear from a reliable source that the movie is going to turn out funny. *whew* (breathes a sigh of relief)

Thats cool that he got to say a little bit about "scene". The funniest scene of all three movies huh, well that ought to be interesting. Its probably the "ferret" scene, that would be awesome. They have to have that part in the movie!
Well we'll have to wait until Novemeber to see it now won't we.

Well it sounds like filming is moving right along. I had hoped, ever since I read the passage in the book, that they would put the ferret scene in the movie because it was hilarious in the book, and I think it will be even funnier on screen.

I would love to hang out for the filming for a while...I am not sure I would want to be like them and bored between shots, though. I have been an extra before and there really is a lot of down time.

Jamie sounds like such a nice guy! I think it's really cool of him to keep an online diary. If I were in a big film like this I would try and keep all the harry potter nerds happy but giving them hints as to whats going on :->

Does anyone else realize that JKR saying, "You're just how I imagined Crabbe" isn't exactly a compliment. But anyway, this is good to hear, sounds like great fun.

I can't wait to see the ferret scene. I can just imagine it now. I think it will be really funny.

Oh, that sounds very interesting and kinda cool, everyone on set like this one big family. I wish I was in England right now myself. It seems somewhat definite now that the ferret scene will be in the GoF movie, and that makes me VERY excited. But it took a whole week to film?! Yeesh, all that for a ferret!
