'X Factor' Paije Richardson is a Harry Potter Star

"X Factor" finalist Paije Richardson revealed that he was super excited to attend the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One" last night because he has appeared as an extra in previous films in the series.

Before attending the premiere, Dannii Minogue's "X Factor" wildcard Paije Richardson recorded his weekly video diary, during which he expressed his excitement. Paije said, "I cannot wait to go to it. It's also going to be really fun for me, because I've done extra work in that film since the fourth movie, so therefore I may see myself pop up." He then went on to add, "I've been a featured extra since the fifth film. In the fifth film you'll see me a lot because I was in Dumbledore's army. You'll probably see me more in the next film to come, rather than this current one."

For fans of both "Harry Potter" and the "X Factor", this is exciting news. Paije Richardson, formerly a fashion student and cinema worker, clearly has fame in his blood. Before you all rush to grab your "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" DVDs though, take a look at this YouTube video where you can very briefly see him in action.

It will be extra exciting if he goes on to win the X Factor and becomes a star of both stage and screen. Paije Richardson is this year's dark horse of the competition and has been doing exceptionally well with his soulful voice, bubbly personality and crazy outfits. His already high popularity can only be boosted by the knowledge that he appeared in the Harry Potter movies.

If you can't wait until next Friday when "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One" is released to the public, you can get a good Paije Richardson fix tomorrow night when he sings live on the "X Factor" on ITV1.
