Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has landed a role in the final Harry Potter film, it's been reported.

The singer, who is currently filming the cameo, will appear at the front of a fleeing crowd in part two of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

Wilson, a fan of the franchise, is understood to have asked his management to secure him the role.

"Ricky's a huge Potter fan and has been skipping around on set,” a source told The Sun.

"He is kept in full make-up away from other extras to try to keep his identity secret, but Daniel and Rupert know who he is. They all get on well."

Studio Warner Brothers refused to comment on the reports, but Wilson's agent said: “He's a big Potter fan.”
