The actor playing Flitwick is Warwick Davis, best known (to me, 
anyway) as the actor who played Willow in... you guessed it... 
_Willow_.  If you haven't seen this movie, that in itself won't mean 
much, but IMO, he's a great actor (btw, if you haven't seen this 
movie yet, do!).  He was also Wicket the Ewok in _Return of the 
Jedi_, but obviously, had a lot of makeup and a costume on.  
Personally, I'm not too fond of his "Flitwick" makeup... he just 
looks too unnatural, and my picture of Flitwick was always more 
cheerful and "young old man" in my head.  I suppose I'll have to get 
over it.  Just like I'll have to get over the fact that Snape and 
McGonnagal look too old.

but who knows?)
