WI link oddly = Wilkin

Sorry Ig, got your PM....I'll be honest, I thought no-one had bothered to have a go at the latest clue (I missed your above post) so was prepared to let the thread peter out

However, as long as there's still interest....

Sport: darts
letters: (5,6)

I'm thinking the forename might end in on.

Simon or Jason perhaps?

If the clue is anything to do with Harry Potter - that's me out of the game.

I haven't read them or seen the movies.

You've solved 'no return' = on, however the 'after' denotes it going at the end of the surname on this occasion

No HP connection with the 'ginger potter'

A synonym of 'defeat' gives the start of the surname
