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."

Oh Boy! That sure sounds like the ferrett scene to me!
I can't wait to see that twitchy little ferrett bounce. Like Ron I will want it burned into my memory forever!

The ferret scene will be one of the best in the movie. I just hope they don't cut it, because "Goblet of Fire" is such a huge book.
Jamie Waylett seems like a nice guy; nothing like the bully Crabbe.

That's pretty cool. I can't believe it took them one whole week to shoot one scene. I guess that's where the acting is kinda hard. How do you keep motivated to do the same thing over and over again for a whole week?

OH, I do hope that the actors that act in the Harry Potter movies know how lucky they got it. It would be my dream to be able to do what Waylett does. With the filming, meeting your idols, traveling! It just sounds amazing even tho there are downsides. Wouldn't it just be amazing if you could go and watch them film a scene in the movie? I would love it! I do hope he had a great time filming but I am sure he did!

After hearing that there was a ferrett on set the other day, and now this report comes out. I am a little happy about that. At least SOMETHING from the book will be there.

Jamie Waylett always gives cute interviews. I'm with Orbster too, it's cool when the cast members have diary entrees on their web sites (like Chris Rankin and Tom Felton). I think we can take this as confirmation that the ferret scene is in.

The ferrett scene- yipee. I can't believe it took a whole week to film one scene. It must be so fun though for all them to be in the middle of something so great.
