Professor Flitwick Is Coming Back… And It Feels Like a Homecoming - Warwick Davis

[Dumbledore]

Hold onto your wands… Harry Potter fans, this one’s huge. Warwick Davis, the original Professor Filius Flitwick, is officially returning for HBO’s upcoming TV adaptation of the wizarding saga.

 

 

Seeing him don that tiny Charms professor’s robes again feels like the most comforting nod to the original franchise.

He made the announcement right on September 1, Hogwarts Day, which made it a perfect, almost poetic moment. Wanting that spark of familiarity in a whole new reimagined world… it’s compelling and strangely emotional for those of us who grew up with the films.

 

He’s not reprising Griphook this time around, that goblin role has been passed on to a new actor, but his return as Flitwick signals that the producers wanted at least one bridge from the original magic to anchor the series in that same universe. It’s a smart way to both honour the past and let new paths unfold.

 

 

Warwick’s reaction was pure fan love. He called this a real homecoming and even shared how Hogwarts has always had a very special place in his heart. No gloss, no fluff… just genuine warmth and excitement, and honestly, that sets the tone beautifully.

This show isn’t just a remake. It’s a chance to explore stories with fresh eyes while still tipping its hat to those who helped make the world magical on screen. With the rest of the cast now revealed and production in full swing, it feels like we might actually witness a seamless blend of nostalgia and new storytelling.
