Warwick Davis is officially heading back to Hogwarts. The beloved actor will reprise his role as Professor Filius Flitwick in the upcoming HBO Original Harry Potter television series, according to an announcement from Warner Bros. Discovery’s press site.
The Wizarding World’s official site also celebrated the news, confirming that Davis will once again portray Professor Flitwick in the new series (harrypotter.com).
As for timing, the series does not yet have a premiere date, and additional casting has not been announced, per industry reporting.
Why Warwick Davis’s Return Matters
Davis first brought Professor Flitwick to life on the big screen and later returned for subsequent entries, most recently in 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, as noted in trade coverage (Deadline). He also portrayed the goblin Griphook in the film saga, underscoring his long-running ties to the franchise.
Across the Harry Potter movies, Flitwick’s on-screen look evolved over time — a shift fans have discussed for years and which was highlighted in entertainment reporting (Express).
The new television project is a fresh adaptation for HBO, bringing the world of Hogwarts to the small screen once again, as coverage of the announcement explains (IGN).
What’s Next
For now, plot specifics, the creative roster, and a release window remain under wraps. Official channels and trade outlets indicate that HBO has not provided further details yet (Variety).
With Warwick Davis returning as Professor Flitwick, anticipation is already building. Fans of the books and films can expect more updates from HBO and the Wizarding World team as production milestones approach. Until then, the confirmation alone gives longtime viewers a nostalgic touchpoint — and a promising sign for how the series plans to honor the legacy of these characters while introducing Hogwarts to a new generation.
