ALBAWABA - Warwick Davis reprises Professor Flitwick in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series.
The multi-award-winning actor played a well-known professor in the Harry Potter movie series, which was based on the books by J.K. Rowling.
He is the first actor from the Harry Potter movies to play the same part in the new TV show.
In the movies, he played Griphook, a goblin who worked at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. However, Leigh Gill, who played Gary Puddles in Joker and its sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, will now play that part on TV.

As part of the Back to Hogwarts celebration on Monday, more cast members for the Potter TV show were also revealed. Fans get together every year on September 1 to celebrate because that's when Hogwarts kids always go back to school for the new school year.
Some of the new actors are Elijah Oshin, who plays Dean Thomas, Harry Potter's friend, and Finn Stephens and William Nash, who play Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, Draco Malfoy's goons.
They think it will take 10 years to finish the TV show, and the first season will air in 2027.
When the first shot of lead actor Dominic McLaughlin, who is 11 years old, in costume came out earlier this summer, filming began.
Prof. Pomona Sprout will be played by Sirine Saba, Prof. Cuthbert Binns by Richard Durden, and Madam Poppy Pomfrey by Brid Brennan.
Some famous people will also be in the movie. John Lithgow will play Dumbledore, Nick Frost will play Hagrid, Janet McTeer will play Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu will play Severus Snape.
Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire is where the show will be filmed. This is the same studio where all eight Harry Potter movies were made.
HBO has said before that the show will be "a faithful adaptation of the iconic books."
The TV show won't have to rush through its episodes, so it will have more time to explore the plots from the books.
