Shell Cottage scenes

Carol:
He played both a Gringotts Goblin (yes, he was the one who gave Harry the key) and Flitwick (the canonical, bearded Flitwick!) in SS/PS, so there's no reason why he can't play both roles in DH. He'll have to be the Head of Ravenclaw House in the Great Hall scenes if they have those. Probably, Griphook will appear in both films ("The Goblins' Revenge" and "Malfoy Manor" through "Shell Cottage" in DH1 and "Gringotts" in DH2. At least, that's where I'd divide the films. And Flitwick would appear in "The [sob] Sacking of Severus Snape" and "The Battle of Hogwarts" in DH2, with glimpses of him, possibly, in "The Flaw in the Plan." (Of course, I'm assuming that they'll follow the book more closely than they've done in previous films.)

I doubt that even people who read the credits will think of him as the same actor because, as you say, he'll be unrecognizable under all the Griphook makeup.

Carol, who thinks that the films have missed out on a great source of physical humor by not having Flitwick zooming across the room as the kids practice Summoning or Banishing Charms
