It is noted that the English actor Warwick Davis will return to the role of Professor Filius Flitwick. He is the first actor from the Harry Potter movie franchise to reprise his role in the upcoming television series.

Davis is best known for playing Griphook, the goblin working at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. However, this time the role will go to Lee Gill, who appeared as Gary Puddles in Joker and its sequel Joker: Folie à Deux.

In addition to Davis, the new Harry Potter series will feature Elijah Oshin as Harry Potter’s friend Dean Thomas, along with Finn Stevens and William Nash as Draco Malfoy’s cronies — Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.

The series is expected to last ten years, with the first episode set to release in 2027.
