The brief article says:

“The footballer’s father Don, his mother, Lynn, and Ashley, 19, his older brother, have just completed costume fittings for their parts in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth film from JK Rowling’s series of novels, due out in 2007. Walcott himself had also been due to appear in the movie but had to pull out because filming schedules clashed with his commitments for Arsenal and England Under-21s. ‘I can’t tell you what scene it’s going to be because that’s a secret, you’ll have to have to wait and see,’ said Don Walcott. “
