In the wonderful world of Harry Potter, where friendships are tested and magically weaves its intricate tapestry, one Slytherin student died tragically, leaving him stranded in the shadows.
Vincent Crabbe, a devoted henchman of Draco Malfoy, met a tragic death that went beyond fiction and became a cautionary story in the wizarding world.
Crabbe, played by Jamie Waylett in the first six films of the franchise, was a key part of the infamous Slytherin triad that included Draco Malfoy and Gregory Goyle.
What happened to Crabbe in Harry Potter?
Crabbe didn’t appear in the last two Harry Potter films due to actor Jamie Waylett’s legal troubles. The story of Crabbe’s real-life misfortunes reflects the character’s turbulent personality. Jamie Waylett, an actor, became himself in a legal quagmire in 2009 after officials uncovered cannabis cultivation at his house.
Waylett’s brush with the law ended in 120 hours of community service, a long cry from the magical world of spells and potions.
Consequently, Waylett’s issues were just starting. He adamantly involved himself in the infamous London riots of 2011 which was a dark time in his life. This was serious, the sentence was prison for two years for this.
The guy who used to do tricks around the halls of Hogwarts was now in chains which means there is no more Crabbe to support the Harry Potter films.
The disappearance of Waylett behind the scenes in the last two Harry Potter films, “The Deathly Hallows Part I and Part II,” was an outcome of his real-life choices. While the magical world was alive in cinema, Crabbe suffered the worst fate in the book- being burnt alive.
A Reflection on Magic and Reality
In the last moments of “The Deathly Hallows – Part II,” Crabbe was written to die as a result of a self-inflicted Fiendfyre spell. Crabbe struggled to control the magical flames, which might take on numerous horrific shapes.
In a terrible turn of events, Crabbe succumbed to the spell he had cast, demonstrating the hazards of magic in unskilled hands.
A close reader of the text could be struck by a parallel situational portrayal of Crabbe’s fate in the wizarding world and Waylett’s plight in real life. Both became the victims of their ostentatious rituals. The clown’s leaving symbolized Waylett’s disorders.
The astonishing magic of the Harry Potter movie, which has taken its place in the hearts of people all over the world, serves to remind us that the decisions we make can lead to negative consequences in our lives, even in the realm of fantasy. It was demonstrated through the character of Crabbe, that magic could surprise you and that the reality could be something unexpected as well.
When the fans look back at the magically woven world of Harry Potter Crabbe’s ending serves as a dire warning that the spell wears out, revealing traces of what was pending the charming pages.
