oh i always thought it was a completely different character, like another teacher because he was always conducting the students when they were singing.
i was confused why flitwick wasnt in there, but i guess it turns out that guy was him

why would they change it???
he looks so wierd now!!!

He seems like he went through some sort of age crisis and started trying to look younger...

...the old one is definitely more true to the character I think.

Yessss he was.

Wiki is fan written, i tend to not take their information too seriously. I go for the more official websites.

The guy also starred in the Leprauchan movies.

But yeah... the change from PS/CoS to PoA onward was needless. The original look is closer to how Rowling described him.

When I watched PoA for the first time, I really thought they changed the actors.

Professor Flitwick has found a charm that can reset his grey hairs! Very Happy

I like the older Flitwich's apperance better it matches him more! At first I didn't notice the change but now that i see pictures it's really different and i don't really like it.

She's in CoS, played by Miriam Margolyes. I think she's returning in HBP as well.

Prof Flitwick is played in all 5 movies (soon to be 6) by Warwick Davis.
http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0001005/

The only thing that has changed is his look, which could be attributed to the change of director, but we don't know.
