Colin/Hugh was in Chamber of Secrets which was released in 2004,
which means it was filmed in 2003.

In 2003, Hugh Mitchell was involved in three projects, as is
seen from his IMDB.com entry -

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1087234/

# Henry VIII (2003) (TV) .... Prince Edward
# Wondrous Oblivion (2003) .... Hargreaves
# State of Mind (2003) (TV) .... Adam Watson 

He had no projects in 2004, but had two in 2005, two in 2006,
and now three in 2007. The third of 2007 was Order of the
Phoenix video game. Though I admit I didn't notice the (VG)
for video game when I originally posted. So, perhaps, he is 
not returning to the movies after all. 

Still, it would be interesting if he did, even if he wasn't 
identified as Colin Creevey in the movie. 

As a side note, I see from Tom Felton's IMDB listing that he
has a small part in a movie called 'The Dissappeared' where
he played Simon.

I wonder if he is simply sitting back and enjoying the ride
and not actively seeking roles, or if he is not being offerred
any scripts. He is certainly talented, and has more experience
that the other actors. He was, after all, in the Academy Award
nominated 'Anna and the King' (1990). 

I know he wants to be involved in fishing, but all the money
from acting could finance a lot of fishing. 

Just a few thoughts.
