Talk: Filius Flitwick

Revision as of 15:47, 28 June 2009

The picture in this article is not Filius it is the conductor-Hp7

There is a reason for this. Warwick Davies, the actor who portrays Flitwick, was not due to reprise his role for the Prisoner of Azkaban, but the director wanted the actor in the film so gave him a cameo as the conductor with a different appearance. In the subsequent films, Davies reprised the role of Flitwick but with the appearance of the conductor, since the film crew liked the new look better than the old one. This made the conductor in Azkaban become Professor Flitwick by way of a retcon. - Cavalier One 07:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Part goblin?

Didn't J. K. Rowling say that he was just short and not part-goblin? I am not sure about that, so could somebody explain? Gato1985 16:32, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Here [1] Rowling made a statement on her homepage.--Rodolphus 18:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Well he is part goblin and goblins are shorter than humans. ShirleyA^{(The Quibbler)} 10:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Physical Appearance

I've just come back from the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tour and I was wondering if the schools "conductor" is still considered to be Flitwick, all the mechandise and images used during this tour and after had identified Flitwick with the older images of him with a white beard etc;, the Poster Annual identifies him like this as does other things there.

As far as I know, the conductor was never considered to be Flitwick. The older looking guy was originally Flitwick while the younger looking guy was just a conductor. They were played by the same actor. After the introduction of the conductor, it was decided that it would be the new look of Flitwick. He was younger from thereon out and the older looking Flitwick is only being used on Half-Blood Prince merchandise. Stormtears 18:57, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

It looks as though the conductor eventually became part of his job anyway as he was seen conducting a choir in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Stormtears 15:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
