Happy Birthday Warrick. He was great when he was in Celebrity Scissorhands for Children in Need.
hey it’s my birthday too, that’s awesome. I got to see Davis at a Star Wars convention, very funny, kind, and talented person. best wishes to him.
I wonder if he will ever be the old Flitwick that we saw in the first two films and not the random music professor that has been in the films since PoA.
But anywho, Happy Birthday, dude!
Wow, I didn’t know the guy who played the Ewok was the same guy who played Flitwick! That’s like my two favorite fandoms!
Happy birthday dude!
Happy birthday to one of the greater actors of the screen.
btw I do hope his Flitwick image stays of the “random music professor” type. it shows more Warwick the the “gnome” type, where he is hidden beneath make-up. That’s bit of the problem when one is an actor of Warwick’s class, directors always want to camuflage him.
Didn’t he play “Willow” in the movie of the same name?
It’s a shame they disguised Warwick as a goblin, in Philosophers Stone, particularly as this was not how JKR portrayed him in the books. Warwick’s a good actor and should be allowed to appear with his own face. It’s not too late for the last films, to correct the error of the first one.
Happy Birthday Willlow!
Happy birthday professor!!!!!! he’s a hero in DH…..juhuuuuuuu
Oh, happy birthday, Warwick. You were great on “Extras”, too. Cheers! :D
Ian, they DID correct it. The music teacher who has appeared in every film from PoA on—that is Professor Flitwick. And no, Jimi, he won’t appear as the gnome again. It seems pretty clear that the film franchise changed the look of Flitwick in response to Jo mentioning (on her web site, and probably directly to them) that she was surprised when she saw the gnome version of Flitwick, because in her mind he simply looks like a little man.
Oh, almost forgot—happy birthday, dude!

Happy birthday Mr.Davis! I think it is really cool that he played in two films that have so much in common- well a little, Star Wars and Harry Potter! He was a cute little Ewok in one and Prof Flitwick in the other. I personally think that all the actors through all six movies have been casted to perfection, they all do such a good job at portraying the characters that it seems like they jump out of the book. And once they are cast that is who I picture while reading. I know many dont like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore but I do just because we have to consider that Richard Harris already set the expectations so high, so to replace him must have been hard. I give them both credit. wow sorry for the long post for just a B-day message.
@ what do you mean that is not how Jo described him. He was both Professor Flitwick and the Head goblin – forgot his name dont think its Griphook that was played by Verne Troyer. But I thought that he did a good job with both parts.
Wow, I didn’t know he was so young! ^^ I still don’t get why he’s a music-guy in the films, though =/
At any rate, happy birthday! =D
you are a good actor,i liked you in willow and the first harry potter movie. and im glad they kept you in the trillagy. happy birthday
