We will devote this article to one of the teachers of the magic school. Filius Flitwick is not only a spell master, but also the dean of the Ravenclaw faculty.
A bit about the early childhood and youth of Flitwick
Flitwick was born into a family of wizards with goblin roots. This explains his small stature. Most likely, he bought his first magic wand in Diagon Alley when he was 11 years old. When distributed at Hogwarts School, the magic hat thought for about five minutes about where to send the boy — to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. She stopped her final choice on Ravenclaw. Some time later, this incident became the source of polite jokes between Flitwick and the dean of Gryffindor. After all, if not for those crucial moments in childhood, they could easily switch places.
Like many students, he was interested in the Gray Lady, where she hid her mother’s Diadem. However, she did not trust her secret to anyone. Exceptions were Voldemort and Harry Potter. Filius Flitwick school, whose photo can be seen below, graduated with good grades, passing the FROW and OWL with honors. He achieved particular success in Spells.
Teaching at Hogwarts
The year when Filius Flitwick got a job as a teacher is unknown. But it is obvious that he has extensive experience in his work. His teaching style is laid-back. For example, before Christmas, in one of the books, Filius Flitwick (actor - Warwick Davis) allowed his students to play magic games.
The professor has a well-developed sense of humor, and he is loyal to all students, regardless of faculty. He does not prescribe punishments and does not even take points when he is late for a lesson. The rest of the professors Filius Flitwick is highly respected due to his considerable knowledge, skill and friendly nature.
Flitwick once taught looters, Evans Lily and Severus Snape. He also survived the first war with the Death Eaters and, despite difficult times, remained at Hogwarts.
Filius Flitwick Films
In the first film, the enchanted keys of Filius Flitwick prevent Professor Quirell from trying to take possession of the philosopher's stone. However, he, like Harry, easily catches the key.
In the second film, Filius Flitwick does not play a special role. When they found the petrified Justin and the ghost of Gryffindor, the professor was in a crowd of students. He and another teacher helped bring Justin to the hospital. At the end of the year, when it became known that Slytherin's heir had abducted Ginny Weasley, Filius Flitwick could not stand it and cried.
In the third book, Filius Flitwick participated in a conversation from which Harry Potter found out that Sirius had betrayed his parents. In the same year, Flitwick teaches his students a fun spell. At the end of the year, the captured Sirius Black was locked in his office.
In the fourth book, the professor taught Harry Potter alluring charms that helped him in the first round of the tournament. At the wedding ball, Flitwick represents the Veduni group for students. During the last mission of the tournament, Filius Flitwick was one of the patrols in the magic maze.
In the fifth book, Flitwick admires the magical fireworks set up by the twins and the swamp on the third floor. The professor also supported Harry after the publication of the magazine "Quibbler", giving him a box of sugar mice and a wink.
In the sixth book, Filius Flitwick was stunned by Snape when he arrived in the dungeon after him at the request of Minevra. He also attended the funeral of the principal.
Battle of the Hogwarts
Despite the fact that in the last film, the hateful Severus Snape became the school principal, none of the teachers left his post. Filius Flitwick stayed to teach at Hogwarts to be able to protect his students. Like other teachers, he participated in the battle for school. He actively helps the Order and teachers protect students and drive out the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord.
Three roles of Warwick Davis
Warwick Davis is the man who played Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter films. But few people know that this British midget actor also played two goblins - the manager of the magic bank Gringotts and Hookhook. In Russian versions, he was voiced by Kolgan Alexey.
Warwick Davis is known not only as a talented actor, but also as a producer, composer and screenwriter.
