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.
Not really sure. I guess the choice is between mini Dumbledore or mini Teddy Roosevelt. I love the original look, but am used to the new look now. Either way Flitwick is a great character.
I love the way he looks now. He looked odd in the first 2 movies, not really how I pictured him at all. I love the subtle things they have now, like at the end of Order of the Phoenix, when he was trying to be all cool about being excited about the end of Umbridge. That was awesome.
I like bits of both. I like old flitwicks slightly Gnarled look and white hair but maybe he looks a little too “creature like” wheras new flitwick looks a bit stiff? and his basin haircut looks like a wig. maybe a mix would be good :)
I like old Flitwick… I didn’t start reading the books until after I had seen the first trailer, so that is just how I have always seen him…(first time I tried to read when i was like 6, i could get past Hargid on Sirius’ bike – he scared me – but i wanted to see the movie and mom wouldn’t let me until i had read the book… 7 times through SS later i still hadn’t seen the movie and mom wished i’d never heard of Harry… lol)
