| | |  Warwick Davis explains Flitwick's different looks in Harry Potter films
From a question sent to him via Twitter, actor Warwick Davis explained why his character, Professor Flitwick, changed appearance from Chamber of Secrets to Prisoner of Azkaban and beyond.  Quote: "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'.

I loved the look in PS, and had a hard time adjusting, but he's a good enough actor to make us get over the shock.

I like the old Flitwick, because that's how J.K. Rowling made him to be.

I thought he just decided to start copying Snape's look or that maybe he had gotten some plastic surgery because he got tired of looking like a mini-Dumbledore.  | |

I still think he looked so much better in the first two films. They made Flitwick look like a glorified waiter from POA onwards.

Is it sad that I didn't even know it was supposed to be Flitwick until in the 6th one when Harry and Luna come late from the train and they call him Professor Flitwick?!

Flitwick's so good at charms I just like to justify his change in appearance as a transfiguration makeover. Kind of like how Hermione changed Ron in Deathly Hallows.
