The actor, who plays Vincent Crabbe in the movies, was pulled over while driving an Audi in central London on April 2.
Waylett and a friend were arrested after police reportedly discovered eight bags of suspected cannabis in the vehicle, according to The Daily Telegraph.
Police later raided the actor's Camden home, which he shares with his mother and three siblings, and allegedly discovered a further ten mature cannabis plants, said to have a street value of £2,000.
The plants were said to be growing under hydroponic lights tucked beside his DJ decks and a PlayStation.
"Both men have been bailed to a date in July pending further inquiries and tests on the substances," said a police spokesman.
Waylett has appeared in all six screen adaptation of the J.K. Rowling books. Latest movie Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince is released in July.
