Hickengruendler:

Bozo is Rita Skeeter's photographer.

The cast list on IMDB is not finale and not official. It is done by 
fans, who have not more informations, than we have. IMDB is a great 
source to look at, once the film is released, but it is unofficial 
and doubtful as long as the shooting is still in progression. 
Characters can be added and deleted from the list at any time. 

For example, there are two characters, who for sure will be in the 
movie, that aren't on the IMDB List: James and Lily Potter.
