Well, the movie is about magic after all, so maybe Flitwick drank 
some Rejuvenation potion (or maybe some of that Shrinking solution 
which turned Trevor into a tadpole :-)). But, seriously, you just 
don't change an established character so drastically unless you have 
a really good reason for this, and there is none in this case. It's 
not only his physical appearance - I can't imagine Book!Flitwick 
calling anyone "idiot",  even if his hand *was* pierced with a 
fork  :-)!

But Goyle actor was also in the movie! I would have understood if 
they replaced him, but they just added the third sidekick. And I 
think that Theo Nott must be better-looking :-).
