We will dedicate this article to one of the teachers of the magical school. Filius Flitwick is not only a master of spells, but also the head of Ravenclaw.
A little about Flitwick's early childhood and youth
Flitwick was born into a family of wizards with goblin roots. This explains his small stature. He most likely bought his first wand in Diagon Alley when he was 11 years old. When distributed at Hogwarts school, the magic hat thought for about five minutes over 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 Head of Gryffindor. After all, if not for those decisive moments in childhood, they could easily switch places.
Like many students, he asked the Gray Lady where she hid her mother's Diadem. However, she did not trust anyone with her secret. The exceptions were Voldemort and Harry Potter. Filius Flitwick, whose photo can be seen below, graduated from school with good grades, passing the TOAD and OWL with honors. He was especially successful in Spells.
Teaching at Hogwarts
Unknown year when Filius Flitwick got a jobteacher. But it is clear that he has a lot of experience in his work. His teaching style is casual. For example, before Christmas in one of the books, Filius Flitwick (actor - Warwick Davis) allowed his students to play magical games.
The professor has a good sense of humor and is loyal to all students, regardless of faculty. He does not assign punishments and does not even take away points if he is late for the lesson. Among other professors, Filius Flitwick is highly respected due to his considerable knowledge, skill and friendly nature.
Flitwick once taught the Marauders, Evans Lily and Severus Snape. He also survived the first war with the Death Eaters and, despite the difficult times, remained at Hogwarts.
Filius Flitwick. Movies
In the first film, Filius Flitwick's enchanted keys thwart Professor Quirrell's attempts to obtain the Philosopher's Stone. However, he, like Harry, catches the right key without much difficulty.
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 carry Justin to the hospital. At the end of the year, when it became known that the Heir of Slytherin had kidnapped Ginny Weasley, Filius Flitwick broke down and cried.
In the third book, Filius Flitwick was involved in a conversation from which Harry Potter learned that Sirius had betrayed his parents. In the same year, Flitwick teaches his students to have funcharms. 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 Yule Ball, Flitwick introduces the Witches to the students. During the last mission in the tournament, Filius Flitwick was one of the patrols in the magical labyrinth.
In the fifth book, Flitwick marvels at the twins' magical fireworks and the swamp on the third floor. The professor also supported Harry after the release of The Quibbler by 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 for him at the request of Minerva. He also attended the principal's funeral.
Battle of Hogwarts
Despite the fact that in the last film the hated Severus Snape became the director of the school, none of the teachers left their post. Filius Flitwick stayed to teach at Hogwarts so he could protect his students. Like other teachers, he participated in the battle for the school. He actively helps the Order and the teachers to protect the students and drive away 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 Griphook. In Russian versions, he was voiced by KolganAlexey.
Warwick Davis is known not only as a talented actor, but also as a producer, composer and screenwriter.
