Hi everyone!

I have been at the studio a lot in the last few weeks, so I have been very busy.

The new director is really good, he asks for our opinions on our characters a lot...I said I think Crabbe is a really good, kind guy... (only joking!)

I think "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" might even be better than "Goblet of fire"!

We've filmed a few scenes so far and we've been having a lot of fun as the baddies...pushing Neville around, mostly!

Me, Josh, Tom and some other Slytherins are Umbridge's favourite students, so it's great to make the Gryffindors uncomfortable for once!

We also got new dressing rooms and a games room, and since a lot of us

don't have tutoring anymore we're enjoying it!

No ferrets or other animals in my costume this time...yet!!

My friend Melissa Rang me last weekend and asked if I would like to take part in the Leaky Cauldron's PotterCast.......It was great fun.......We just chatted about everything including filming and the movies and even some burritos..........if you want, you can find out more about it HERE and listen to it HERE.

Hi everyone

Sorry I have not updated for a while, not a lot going on at the moment, but I do start filming next Monday.

I will TRY to update more often when I am back in the studio.

Thanks to everyone who have sent me letters, cards and emails, I do enjoy reading them all.

The comments section should be working again now, we have had problems with spam and had to put a verification code on for a while.

All the best

Update (from an internet cafe)

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Fri, 30 Dec 2005 21:44:00 +0000

Just a few lines to wish everybody a happy new year and I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted and you all had a great time!

I have been unable to update the site as often as I wanted to, because some "nice person" stole my laptop.....I am trying to get copies of my pictures of both premieres and will post them as soon as I can.

I will be back in the studio soon, as we start filming again in February, I will try and keep you updated...

Best wishes

Jamie

Hi everybody

Sorry it has taken me so long to update, I have had a few problems with the site and email address, but everything is now sorted.

I have just been told that I'm going to New York again, for the premiere of the Goblet of Fire and a signing event a week later.

I love going New York, it's a great city, lots of shops, great food and I have some wonderful friends there…(See you soon Carol, Sal & Melissa) :-)

We start filming the Order of the Phoenix in February, it will be great seeing all the cast and crew again, it seems ages since we finished the Goblet of fire.

Thanks again for all the letters, pictures and photo’s you have sent me, I really enjoy receiving them.

I will try to update the site soon after the London Premiere.

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Wed, 09 Mar 2005 02:33:00 +0000

Hi everyone,

I have decided to hold a little contest for the readers of my site.

We have received some really great art lately and I thought it would be nice to have a little contest.

Everyone who sends in a drawing of me or of my character, either by myself or with other fellow Slytherin students, over the next 3 weeks will be judged in an art contest.

The art will be judged by myself and two other friends. The top three drawings will receive signed photos from me and a "few friends" as a reward for their efforts.

Everyone who enters will be honored though, as you will all have your art featured in a new section that will open shortly after the contest.

You can enter by emailing a scan of you work to inniss@blueyonder.co.uk, or by sending your original work to the address on my contacts page.

You can submit you art in any format and enter as many times as you wish.

The closing date will be the 31st March.

Have fun - I can't wait to see all of your work!

Ouch!

Hi everyone

What a great Valentines day I had.
Loads of cards and emails wishing me a good day.

Had a nice relaxing day.....
Went out in the evening for a bike ride with my friend John.
Fell off my bike.....
And I have fractured my wrist....

John said nobody was near me when I fell, But I'm sure I was pushed....
And I bet it was one of Harry or Ron's friends ;-)

It was my left wrist....So I will still have to do my school work :-(

Just to clear up a point in my last post, I will not be staying on at school....But I will still be attending college for the Car Mechanics, Painting and Decorating and Building courses that I attend on day release now.

Hi everyone.... I have only been in the studio on...

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Fri, 11 Feb 2005 19:10:00 +0000

Hi everyone....

I have only been in the studio once since my last post here....
I was filming with 2nd unit again.....We were shooting extra shots for the dance scene.

The studio was pretty empty....Only a few of us were in on that day....Emma, Stan and the extras....Its weird when not many people are there, its so quiet.

I have finished my mock GCSE exams now....My results were about what I expected, not too bad....But I never intended to stay on at school after I finish this school year.

When I do leave school, I want to continue acting if possible.....

Thanks to everyone that has sent me Valentine cards and emails....

I have received some really nice cards that people have made for me, its really nice when I see them and realize how much effort has been put into making them.

I hope everyone has a great Valentines day.

Jamie

Hi everyone. No Harry Potter news at the moment...

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Mon, 24 Jan 2005 23:26:05 +0000

Hi everyone.

No Harry Potter news at the moment, I'm still waiting to be called back to the studio. I have only have about 7 days filming left on G.O.F....between now and March.

I went to the cinema last week to see the film "white noise"....cant tell you if it was any good......The ticket lady at the Vue cinema (WARNER BROS.) would not believe that I was 15, and refused me entry!!!....And to make it worse......She let my friends in and they are 6 inches shorter than me!

I will update my FAQ's soon to include questions I have been asked ( more than a few times ) in emails sent to me recently......I have not signed for the next film yet....And I don't know of any of the cast being offered yet....I don't think the next film will be made until next year, so no hurry yet ;-)

Have been listening to Non Phixion, Necro and Oasis....Now there's a mixture :-)

Thanks again to all of you who sent cards, letters and emails to me....Its really nice you do it.

A belated "sweet sixteen" to Jacqueline <3...and a quick hello to Jamie, Becky, Alice and "Dra".....Thanks for being friends :-)

Jamie

Merry Christmas Everyone!

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Sat, 25 Dec 2004 19:37:00 +0000

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone's having a great holiday! I got a bracelet and ring and other cool things from my family, but some of the best presents I got were from you! Thank you for the cards and the letters, they really made my Christmas special.

I'm not working at the moment but I could be called back to the studio any minute - one of the down sides of working in a movie (though there are too many up sides to complain!)!

I can't believe the year is almost over - I'm sad to see it end. Since my site opened you all have made 18 million hits here - I can't believe that, that's incredible! Thank you for coming and reading. In January I go back to proper school (I still have filming, but I'll be attending real school), so I'm excited but nervous too. I'm sure there will be stories to tell about that soon!

I'm about to have dinner so I've got to go. Have a happy and healthy New Year everyone!

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Fri, 17 Dec 2004 23:53:27 +0000

Today was our last day of filming until the new year (except Dan who is still filming).

We have been filming the dance scenes in the great hall for the last week or two, its been very good fun, but no more dancing for me for a while, unless I get invited to a Christmas party somewhere, if I do dance, I'm sure it wont be the Waltz.

Everybody was happy that we were finished filming for the Christmas break, many of us exchanged presents and cards with each other.

We have all become very good friends at the studio over the last four years, not only with the other actors and the crew, but with the many other people that work there, seeing the friendly faces of the canteen staff every day (hi Rose, Betty,Pauline and Debbie) makes working each day a little easier.

Its strange, we all look forward to our filming breaks, but after a few weeks away from the studio, we all wish we were back filming again!

I have finished my "mock" GCSE exams at the studio. I have no tutoring until I go back to my "normal" school in January.

Will update again before Christmas

All the best......Jamie

Hi everyone Sorry I haven't posted for a while ...

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Sun, 05 Dec 2004 14:45:01 +0000

Hi everyone

Sorry I haven't posted for a while as I have been studying for my "mock GCSE" exams next week.

At the studio, we have all been having dance lessons for the Yule ball, which we will be filming very soon.

The set for the ball is fantastic, probably the best set in all the four films, even if I was allowed to tell you what it looked like, I would not be able to describe how good it really looks!

Tried to buy all my friends and family's Christmas presents this weekend, but will have to go out next weekend to finish the shopping, working and studying all week, the shops are all closed by the time I get home.

Mum asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, I told her I wanted some time in a "real" recording studio, she agreed, but I may not be able to go before February or March because of the filming schedule.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me Christmas cards and a special thank you to "Becky H" for the kind gift she sent me, I will share them with the rest of the cast.

Will update again before Christmas, Enjoy your Christmas shopping, only 19 shopping days left!

DVD Launch and Yule Ball

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Sat, 20 Nov 2004 18:12:22 +0000

Thursday night was the DVD Launch for Prisoner of Azkaban - I had a great time! I went with my family and my friend Melissa from The Leaky Cauldron, who's here from New York and staying with us this week (my mum says they did loads of shopping today).

It's always nice to see everyone away from the sets. Warner Bros. made up a whole Great Hall for it, and the sweets were cool, especially the chocolate! There was a fountain of chocolate and I dipped at least 12 marshmallows into it - four at a time!

We're still filming but this week and next we have dance lessons for the Yule Ball. I'm learning to waltz and after four days I'm getting better. I've been paired up with a really pretty girl for the ball (we thought for a while my partner was going to be Goyle!!!), and she's a dancer so she's teaching me. I've been told I'm 'light on my feet' - imagine Crabbe, light on his feet!!

10 emails that made me smile but never got a reply.

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Mon, 25 Oct 2004 19:55:23 +0000

1/ Why do you have a website when nobody will ever go on it?

2/ I was talking with Dan last night and he wanted me to ring him back today, but I've lost Dan's phone number, can you give it to me please?

3/ I want to send Emma a birthday card, can you give me her home address?

4/ My daughter thinks you are great, please send her an autographed picture dedicated "to THOMAS, lots of love Jamie"

5/ Dear Jamie, I would like four tickets for the premiere of the Goblet of Fire, with seats as near to Emma Watson as possible please.

6/ You are a liar, Dan and Emma are going out together, I spoke to Emma's friend in a chat room last night and she knows them better than you do!

7/ Have you ever met Tom Felton?

8/ I love how you play the part of "Goyle".

9/ Your website is really fantastic, would you like me to redesign it for you?

10/ I collect autographs so I will let you send me one!

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Wed, 20 Oct 2004 12:13:04 +0000

Started a new scene today but still filming in the Great Hall all this week
Its so hot in the hall with all the lights and the fires, but filming is still fun.

Not much news to give you at the moment, so I thought I would answer a few emails here on the blog.

1/ Dan Radcliffe is NOT going out with Emma Watson....or anybody else at the studio!

2/ To my knowledge, none of the cast go on any "chat rooms".....So do not believe anybody when they say they are Dan, Emma, Rupert, Tom, me or any other of the cast!

3/ Nobody has been hit by a falling light and taken to hospital!

4/ There have not been any big arguments between the cast members!

5/ None of us can get you a part in the films....Warners use casting agents for everyone, including extras!

6/ None of the cast are "Stuck up" or "Up themselves".....we all get along really well ( honest).

7/ Yes, we all know that we are VERY LUCKY to have been chosen to be in the films.

8/ Yes, there are lots and lots of fake "signed" photo's and posters on Ebay, some of them are very bad fakes indeed, before you buy one, try to find an original autograph on a Harry Potter fan site and compare it.

9/ Yes, I do have UK size 13 (USA 14) feet ;-)

10/ Yes, my mum still tells me what to do and "tells me off" if I do anything wrong :-)

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Fri, 15 Oct 2004 18:26:54 +0000

This week we have been filming one of the "Great Hall" scenes, with Nearly all the main cast and about 250 - 300 "extras".

For those of you who know the books inside out you might be able to guess what scene this is !

In the scene, we had to sing a song, over and over again all week, now hours after we have finished filming, I cant get that song out of my head !

I don't think it will ever get in the top 100 of the record charts, but I bet you all end up singing it when the film comes out (if you want to or not) .

Tomorrow I'm going to an event in Eindhoven, Holland, for the weekend.

I will try and post some pictures on the site when I come back.

Collectormania

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Mon, 04 Oct 2004 21:10:47 +0000

I have just had a great weekend.....

On Saturday we traveled to Milton Keynes to attend Collectormania 6. As usual it took us nearly 30 minutes to find a parking space, then when we did park the car, we found ourselves at the wrong end of the shopping centre.

As we went in I was surprised to see so many people wearing Starwars and Harry Potter costumes, everybody seemed so happy to be there, it was a party atmosphere.

We just wandered around the shopping centre to see what it was like, because I was signing on the Sunday. So many fans were just coming up to me to say "hello" and have a picture taken with me, before we even got near the "collectormania area" it was nice to meet so many Harry Potter fans in one place and be able to talk to them, without security guards ushering us away.

When we finally got to the area, I spotted Devon signing and went over for a chat and arranged to meet later at the hotel before we went out for the evening.

Devon,Matthew, James, Oliver and myself (with all our parents) attended a "meet the fans party" later in the evening, we arrived in a stretch Limo that could seat about SIXTEEN PEOPLE! We had only planned to stay a few hours, but we were enjoying ourselves so much and everybody was so nice, we stayed until the end!

On the Sunday, we were all signing at the tables, it was great fun meeting the fans and during our breaks, meeting the actors from other films that were signing autographs at the same event.

In the afternoon, we all attended a question and answer session in the local theatre, I don't know about the others, but I was a bit nervous before it started, you never know what you might be asked, an interview with a Journalist is one thing, but with over a hundred fans, who know more about the Harry Potter books than I do can be SCARY. The fans laughed and clapped our answers, all of us enjoyed it and I don't know who was more annoyed when the session ended, the fans or us.

Would I go to a "collectormania" again.....YES PLEASE !

I have posted some pictures on the site....Hope you enjoy them.

The launch of the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD is comin...

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Fri, 24 Sep 2004 00:40:38 +0000

The launch of the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD is coming soon and I cant wait.

Even though I have seen the film a dozen times at the movies, there is so much going on, you miss lots of things.

I really like seeing the interviews, the "extras" and the "deleted" scenes that are included. With a DVD, you can stop, rewind, pause etc. and really see the detail (and the mistakes) that make the films so special. So much of the Polyjuice scene with Josh and myself was cut out of the film, it was great to see again on the DVD.

I must say at this point, I honestly don't know what deleted scenes will be in the DVD, so much of the filming that we do is cut, but if every scene that was filmed was put in, the DVD would be about 8 hours long!

One of the scenes that was not in the film that I really enjoyed and hope is included, was Devon Murray; (Seamus Finnigan) in Professor Lupin's class where he changed a vampire (Devon's boggart) into a woman in a bikini, (my mum said she was like Carmen Miranda)

Professor Lupin starts playing music and she starts dancing, then everybody starts dancing in a conga line.

I joined in the conga line, but Malfoy gets angry with me and he hits me, it was a very funny scene!

There are two questions that I get asked most........

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Wed, 15 Sep 2004 21:31:58 +0000

There are two questions that I get asked most.....Was it my voice or Ron's in the polyjuice scene and were there any funny moments on the set.

When we filmed the polyjuice scene, it was filmed with my own voice, Josh and I had a Drama coach for weeks before the filming started and everyone said we were really very good.

We also practiced Harry and Ron's movement and facial expressions.

After working so hard to imitate Ron's voice, I was a little disappointed when I discovered that our voices were replaced with Harry's and Ron's.

One of the funniest moments for me was the "floating cake scene".

Just before we changed into Harry and Ron, Josh and me had to eat the cakes, hanging in mid air, They were suspended on fishing wire, with a small hook in the cake, after five or six takes, Josh bit the cake a little too deep and had a small cut on his lip caused by the hook.

I was trying to whisper to Josh that his lip was bleeding, but Chris Columbus kept shouting "ACTION", Josh looked puzzled, so I pointed to his face and tried to tell him again, Chris shouted "ACTION" again, this went on two or three times more before Chris shouted "CUT" "Jamie what's wrong", Josh still looking puzzled looked at Chris and shrugged his shoulders.

The whole set started laughing as I tried to explain Josh had blood his lip.

Another funny moment was when Josh and me were "drugged" in the broom cupboard, we had to come out and act unsteady on our feet.

Chris Columbus shouted "ACTION" (no response)........"ACTION" (no response)........""ACTION" (no response)........"ACTION" (no response)........finally he said to his assistant "GO AND SEE WHAT'S WRONG".

Somebody opened the door to find me and Josh laughing, I said "the door was stuck", but they had all realized, I had been pulling the door instead of pushing it!.....Again the crew fell about laughing!

Chris Columbus said "It (the film) was turning into the CRABBE and GOYLE SHOW"

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Mon, 13 Sep 2004 21:51:12 +0000

I have just returned from New York, the best holiday I have had in a long time!

I always thought New York was just Manhattan, but its not!

Melissa (from the Leaky Cauldron) took us to Staten Island and Toms River to meet her family, who are the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.

They really spoilt us while we were there!

Sal, Melissa's Dad, (who looks like Burt Reynolds) showed me how to catch, prepare and cook crabs (the lobster kind).

Carol, Melissa's mum, is the kindest, friendliest person in the world!

We also met Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, their kids and their friends, every single one of them helped to make our break so special!

I will post pictures as soon as I can!

Hello from New York

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Fri, 10 Sep 2004 05:48:49 +0000

Hello everyone!

I'm having a great time. I bought a pair of shoes - two, actually. New Balance and Nike. (US size 14!)

I had an interview with Geri from HPANA yesterday (she was very nice) and I think The Leaky Cauldron is going to put something up (though Melissa says she's not sure what) and I'm going to go into the Staten Island Advance (because I'm in Staten Island now) but that's all! That's enough interviews for this trip!

We ate at fun restaurants (Serendipity3 - great ice cream - and Jekyll & Hyde - good entertainment but there was a bug in the drink! We got a free round though, so it doesn't matter), and tomorrow we're going to the shore (I'll be wearing lots of sunblock, Crabbe can't have a tan!) , where we might get to go down to the lake and go - crabbing. Ha ha!

Filming in Oxford

jamiewaylett@blueyonder.co.uk (Jamie Waylett) — Mon, 30 Aug 2004 15:39:05 +0000

Just returned from filming on location in Oxford.

As usual it rained, it seems that it always rains when we are on location.

I spent nearly the whole week filming Just one scene, with Maggie Smith, Brendan Gleeson, Tom, Josh and Dan, it was great fun, I really enjoyed it.

Brendan Gleeson was great, he is very friendly, funny man who plays the part of Mad-Eye Moody.

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 scene in all of the movies!
