Harry's a Pothead and the Sorcerers Stoned
http://www.usmagazine.com/news/harry-potter-star-arrested-for-growing-pot-in-bedroom-200984
o much for high times.
Harry Potter star Jamie Waylett, known as bullying Hogwarts student Vincent Crabbe, was arrested on Tuesday in London on suspicion of possessing marijuana.
Check out last year's most famous mug shots.
According to British reports, police first stopped Waylett, 19, and a pal while they were driving and discovered eight bags of pot inside the vehicle.
Police then raided the London-area home the actor shares with his mom (and two brothers and a sister) and found 10 plants, believed to be cannabis and valued at about $2,900.
See photos of today's top celeb news stories.
The plants were growing under powerful hydroponic lights beside a PlayStation, according to reports.
Waylett is due in court in July -- the same month Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters.
I wish I could find a source that's not a gossip page -_-

It would be the US publishers who changed the title, not the author. Seems they thought people in the US would think it was a philosophy book and so wouldn't buy it.
EDIT
I take it back seems she was in on the title change. My apologies

And in fairness, a lot of good comedy: Steptoe and Son (which became Sanford and Son), Till Death Do Us Part (which became All in the Family). However, John Larroquette as Basil Fawlty... dear God, that couldn't die fast enough.
