Acting as the first star to be sacked from the Potter show without a replacement in sight, here's that time Jamie Waylett's Vincent Crabbe was quietly ushered out of the back door of Hogwarts after The Half-Blood Prince.

Despite being a notable presence never too far away from Tom Felton's side in the first six flicks, the Draco Malfoy henchman of sorts was completely erased from the scene by the time of The Deathly Hallows: Part II. In Crabbe's place was Blaise Zabini, played by Louis Cordice, by the side of Gregory Goyle and Malfoy as the three would collide with Harry, Ron, and Hermione in The Room of Requirement.

Waylett's firing came hot on the heels of the actor being arrested for cannabis possession in 2009, with the Crabbe star being sentenced to community work in the end. This wouldn't be his last run-in with the law, either, as Waylett also found himself cuffed for taking part in the London riots in 2011 before being sentenced to two years in prison for his participation in said infamous event.
