Filius Flitwick

Basic Information

Filius Flitwick was born on Great Britain or Ireland, in 17th October of 1945.

Physical Description

Professor Filius Flitwick (b. 17 October) was a part-goblin, part-wizard. Flitwick, due to his goblin blood, was distinguishingly short and frequently described as "tiny little Professor Flitwick". He had a shock of white hair in his elderly years and brown when he was younger. Also when he was young, he usually wore black clothes and suits as opposed to the green robes that he wore in his later years.

Personality

Flitwick was an emotional fellow, who seemed to have a gentle spirit. During the1992–1993 school year when Ginevra Weasley was taken into the Chamber of Secrets, he burst into tears, and in 1993's Valentine's Day, when Gilderoy Lockhart called him a "sly old dog", he buried his face in his hands. During oneCharms lesson, Neville Longbottom, while fumbling with attempts at casting aBanishing Charm, ended up sending Flitwick sailing across the room; Flitwick accepted this resignedly instead of losing his temper.
He was also shown to have a sense of mischief. Nevertheless, he commanded respect in spite of his sensitive nature and small stature.

History

Filius Flitwick was born into a wizarding family with the distant descent of a goblin. He studied magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, presumably after purchasing his wand from Ollivanders, and was Sorted into Ravenclaw House. During his Sorting, the Sorting Hat wavered between putting him in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor.[9] The Sorting Hat ultimately chose the former, though, as the decision took less than five minutes, Flitwick was not a true Hatstall.[10] In later life he learned that this was a circumstance that occurred to Minerva McGonagall as well, which the two professors found amusing as had the Sorting Hat chosen Gryffindor for Filius and Ravenclaw for Minerva they may have exchanged positions as Heads of House.
It was also mentioned that Flitwick, being a model student with nothing to hide, never entered or used the Room of Hidden Things in the Room of Requirement.
It is likely that he achieved a high graded O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. inCharms, as later in his life he went on to teach this subject for over thirty years. He also may have taken exams in Defence Against the Dark Arts, as he became a Master Duellist sometime after leaving the school.
Now back at his old school, Professor Flitwick took up the post ofCharms Master. His classroom was Classroom 2E, which was located in the Charms Corridor, on the third floor of the Training Grounds Tower.
In 1971, Flitwick taught Lily Evans, Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Severus Snape.
