Ricky Wilson is a English musician best known as the lead singer of the alternative band Kaiser Chiefs.[3] He appeared as an Extra in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.[1]
IMDb lists Dirk Cresswell as the character Wilson played,[4] however Wilson himself has denied this.[2] He confirmed that he was in fact played a cameo wizard in purple robes who enters a Ministry of Magic lift right after the trio exits it during the Infiltration of the British Ministry of Magic (1997), having initially been cast to play a musician at the Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour.[2]
