MTV News talks with Warwick Davis
MTV News talks with Warwick Davis UPDATE 2: The article is up again, with a correction at the bottom.

The actor who has played Professor Flitwick in all of the Potter films recently spoke to MTV News. Davis speaks about the positive side of having Deathly Hallows split into two:

“I think that’s a good idea because when you try and squeeze these quite lengthy novels into a two-hour movie, a two-and a half hour film there is gonna be stuff that’s left out,” Davis enthused. “There’s so much in the last book, I think it’ll make two really good films. It’s worthy of that.”

The article incorrectly states that Davis played Griphook in Sorcerer's Stone; he was actually played by Vern Troyer. Davis played both a Gringotts bank teller and Flitwick in Sorcerer's Stone. Read the full entry here!

He better be in it!


Posted by CFplayer19 Jun 9th 2008

i agree with what he's sayin


Posted by Rose37 Jun 9th 2008

I totally agree with him and that is why I am sooooooooooooooooooo happy that movie 7, (the biggest and most important movie of the whole series,) is being split. Great job wb, but again where is the trailer for movie 6???


Posted by tiassa Jun 9th 2008

I really doubt he'll be in it though, maybe for one scene in DH part 2


Posted by Katharineee Jun 9th 2008

WOO getting well exited for HBP now, what with all the interviews and that. I agree with him too. Did you know they were thinking of splitting GoF? I thought they should've done.


Posted by jthhere Jun 9th 2008

Actually, it's Verne Troyer, not Vern


Posted by ccchelsea Jun 9th 2008

we need a trailer!!!!! im going crazy without one!! its sad that little interviews like this are the only things in the HP news! :( i love him as flitwick though


Posted by WordNerd014 Jun 9th 2008

I liked the original flitwick, the one in the first movie... i mean this guy is fine at acting, he just doesn't look right... what happened to the first dude?


Posted by Lily_Potter34 Jun 9th 2008

He is the first dude, Warwick played Flitwick in every movie. He just got a makeover, i am guessing that the original look was not fitting JK's description.


Posted by evanna11 Jun 9th 2008

MTV...>_> Well, anyway, the pic doesn't look like Flitwick at all. I liked Flitwick:)


Posted by evanna11 Jun 9th 2008

I can't respond on MTV:(


Posted by MagicMaker222 Jun 9th 2008

i think we all agree... two excellent films! oh yea and wordnerd...that is the first guy! lol it's the same guy from all of them!


Posted by MBish024 Jun 9th 2008

yeah i think the deathly hallows will be much more detailed when its split in two i agree with him


Posted by Abergoat Jun 9th 2008

I don't know why people think he won't be in. While I doubt they will have any more Charms scenes, Warwick has been with them since the beginning. It would be sort of an insult to leave him out.


Posted by heather_s_70056 Jun 9th 2008

I don't understand how Vern Troyer could be in the movies. I think he did a good job and all, but he's not British. I thought that every actor in the films had to be British.


Posted by Lily_Potter34 Jun 9th 2008

I agree with Abergoat, there have been no reports that i know of that say that he wont be in HBP, they have to have him in because who will wake up snape for him to kill dumberdore.


Posted by heather_s_70056 Jun 9th 2008

correction to my above statement: J.K. insisted that all "principal" roles be British. I guess Griphook in the first movie was not considered a "principal" role. I wonder if that means that Vern Troyer will not be able to play Griphook in the last two movies, because the role is substantially larger in those films.


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jun 9th 2008

I really enjoyed him as Flitwick. I hope he comes back!


Posted by Abergoat Jun 9th 2008

I could see them asking Davis to do Griphook in DH.


Posted by rooon Jun 9th 2008

Cool! I totally know him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jun 9th 2008

Great article. It's nice to see a minor actor who really enjoys the books and has already thought about the adaptation ... and a journalist who acknowledges the fans in a less-than-negative light. :-)


Posted by alexxx Jun 9th 2008

sweet i guess the actors like the idea of the split film, so i guess its a good idea! and yeah umm if they leave any important part of the 7th book out, im gonna go ape on their arse!


Posted by trueligth Jun 10th 2008

I agree with the Profesor and with the every one who said the movie is good to be split. I hope the Profesor is back in the movies because I like him in his character.


Posted by evanna11 Jun 10th 2008

The article has been corrected. This is a quote from the article: "Note: In the original version of this article, I incorrectly wrote that Warwick played Griphook the Goblin, the treacherous former employee of Gringotts who helps Harry break into the Lestrange


Posted by Lily_Potter34 Jun 10th 2008

Well, at least we know that Flikwick will be in HBP because he says he is in the article. he probably wont be in DH part 1 because he doesnt have a part til the end of the book so he will probably be in DH part 2.


Posted by Rose37 Jun 10th 2008

R.I.P. Professor Fritwick. R.I.P.


Posted by alyks777 Jun 10th 2008

Harry Potter Wiki says that Verne Troyer played Griphook but Warwick did the voice. http://harrypotter.wikia. com/wiki/Griphook
