For the over 15,000 of us who follow actor Warwick Davis on his official Twitter, we gained some insight on the change in appearance his character of Professor Flitwick has experienced during the course of the Harry Potter series. While we have heard some of this previous, Warwick Davis offered the following in a series of tweets this morning: .So many of you
have asked me the 'New look Flitwick' question, so I will answer it
here, once and for all. When it came time to shoot 'Azkaban', there was no mention of 'Flitwick'' in the script. However, the producer still wanted me to be in the movie so he asked if I would play the role of 'Choir Master'. Of course, I said 'yes'. When it came time to shoot 'Goblet of Fire' the director,
Michael Newell said he liked the look of the choir master, and from
that moment, the character became known as 'Flitwick'.And that's all
there is to it. Not that interesting really, is it? Let's have a quick
show of Tweets - Old 'Flitwick' or New 'Flitwick''?
What say you? Feel free to weigh in the comments below. As a reminder too that as we first posted last month, fans will see a deleted scene with Flitwick and the choir on the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD. Warwick Davis will be see in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movies as both "Flitwick" and "Griphook," and will be filming his role in the very near days.
Old. That’s how I see him in the books. He’s seems more likable with the wispy hair and lighter colors. Choir Master is a cool character, but I never saw him as Flitwick.
I like the look of the “New Flitwick” but wish that he still would have been the Charms Professor. Would have been cool if he’s been charming inannimate objects into playing or singing.
i like the old Flitwick..the succeeding HP book adaptations were not so close the the books actually..i like the first two books to be honest!!Flitwick was far more himself in the first two adaptations than the last 4..
I don’t really have a definitive opinion, for me Flitwick was just Flitwick in the movies. The movie Flitwick is so very different from my personal book Flitwick that I am just happy Flitwick is in the films. Although, if I have to chose, I do think “new” Flitwick is a little more Flitwickier
new ‘choir master’ fitwick, i don’t know, that’s just how i imagined him when i read the books :)
