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."

I'm so glad that that scene will be in the movie, it is definately one of the best in the book. The filming seems to be going quickly, which is good for me because I CAN'T WAIT!! I can't get enough information about the movie and interviews are the best!

Man the anticipation for this film is going to cause me to chew all my fingers off since I've already gnawed my nails down to the nub :-) Seriously though these little tidbits of info just make me gain more confidence that this film is going to be great entertainment. I'm actually getting more hopeful the more I hear.

This is one of my all time favorite passages of the books. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
Jamie sounds like a peach of a guy. Too bad Crabbe isn't!

Jordan00009: HPGOF is slated to hit theaters Nov 18, 2005.
I agree with the rest of you--'Malfoy the amazing bouncing ferret' may well make me feel (slightly) better about not having the Dursleys' living room blown to bits by the Weasleys (a bit of the book cut out of the film). Can't wait to see it!!

I love getting any little tidbits that I can. I thought he was the perfect Crabbe also. I'm also so glad that the ferret scene is going to be in the movie that is my favorite part.

Wahnaroo22: Cute avatar! Yes, I noticed that someone else was either playing Goyle's part, or Malfoy has a new minion for book 3. Don't remember hearing about an actor change during all the filming...

The feret scene is one of the many things that made the book very good. I am glad that the book has a little humor in it. I wish i lived in england so bad right now, i can watch the filming on my spare time. that is very doubtful, i start school in a week and my mom would never let me go thier, despite no matter how much i beg her.

It's a good short interview but it includes everything. That's good. It's intriguing which scene Jamie is actually talking about, if it is the ferret scene, then hehehe...

The ferret scene is going to be hilarious! I tell ya, before I even have time to take a break after PoA, there is already tons of news on GoF. There is just no rest for those actors and crew members.
