Pictures have been published showing Harry Potter star Jamie Waylett, 17, using cocaine.

The actor, who plays bully Vincent Crabbe, is seen apparently sniffing a line of the drug in photos published by The People.

A friend of the star, who took the pictures, told the paper he was increasingly using cocaine and other drugs as well as bringing strippers back to his flat.

"Jamie is spiralling out of control," he revealed. "He takes cocaine almost every time I see him, whether it's at a party at a friend's house or at his own home. He's always chopping out a line.

"I think he uses it to be accepted by people. But with cocaine he's attracting the wrong sort of crowd. Jamie is wild. He told me that he got high at the premiere of the last film, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

"He said he had about eight grams of cocaine and was 'high as a kite' after sneaking off to the toilets to take it."
