Perhaps, but I agree with you.   I had pictured Flitwick just being a very small 
person, not distorted and (frankly) a little goblin-looking; nothing in the text 
describes him as strange-looking.  And using dwarves to play the goblins was, 
IMHO, inconsistent with the text description of the goblins as having "very 
long fingers and feet."
