Today on Twitter Warwick Davis answered a fan’s question about Professor Flitwick’s transformation, here is his answer:

“Could you possibly give us an insight as to why Flitwick’s look was changed for the third HP movie?”
So many of you have asked me the ‘New look Flitwick’ question, so I will answer it here, once and for all. When it came time to shoot ‘Azkaban’, there was no mention of ‘Flitwick” in the script. However, the producer still wanted me to be in the movie, so he asked if I would play the role of ‘Choir Master’. Of course, I said ‘yes’. When it came time to shoot ‘Goblet of Fire’, the director, Michael Newell said he liked the look of the choir master, and from that moment, the character became known as ‘Flitwick’.

In a new interview with the Daily Record Robbie Coltrane talks about the Potter series.  Robbie plays the lovable Hagrid in the movies.

“I regret the ending of Harry Potter for the obvious reasons of saying goodbye to a bunch of people with whom I’ve become very friendly over the years, but also because I will be giving up a regular income.You don’t get too much of that in the world of acting.”

The 59-year-old is equally worried for his young Potter co-stars. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grinch, as well as a host of other actors, have grown up on the sets of the film adaptations of JK Rowlings books.

Rutherglen-born Robbie says: “For them the conclusion of the films will be like leaving school, saying goodbye to friends and going out into the big, wide world.  It’s a huge step and it wouldn’t be surprising if some of them, at least, felt nervous about making it.”
