Yes, it's Alastor Moody. Who, sad to say, isn't actually in the scene. He spends the whole year imprisoned in a large box by the the Death Eater Barty Crouch who is manipulating the contest so Harry will end up meeting Voldemort in the end.

While Moody does have what I would call a lowlands/border accent and manner, the more highland character is assistant head Minerva McGonagall (played in the movie by Maggie Smith)....she does appear in a plaid bathrobe at one point....next time I see the movie I'll have to figure out what tartan.

While Hogwarts is somewhere in the Highlands and there are a couple of scenic shots used in the movie (Loch Finn??), there's not much highland culture involved.

There are short, quick cameo shots of someone in a kilt in all the Harry Potter movies. Usually during a street scene, or where there are a lot of people in the shot, someone with a kilt walks through.
Then you get to the last movie check for Dumbledors' brother.

I forgot that Albaforth wears a kilt as well. Good Call Steve

Bear in mind that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and therefore also the neighbouring village of Hogsmeade, are supposed to be IN SCOTLAND, LOL!

The only kilted character I could think of was Professor Dumbledore's brother Aberforth, who is the village innkeeper. I had forgotten about Alastor Moody at the ball, although now I remember, and I hadn't noticed kilted extras atall, so I must not be too observant.
