Flitwick is
an emotional fellow. When Ginny Weasley is taken into the Chamber of Secrets,
he bursts into tears. He seems to have a gentle spirit. During Charms,
when Neville's fumbling attempts at casting a spell result in Flitwick
being sent sailing across the room, Flitwich accepts this resignedly instead
of losing his temper. But he commands respect in spite of his sensitive
nature and small stature. When he encounters Harry and Malfoy on the stairs
discussing Harry's new Nimbus 2000, Malfoy treats him just like any other
teacher with no hint of the sarcasm he used with Lupin.
Professor Flitwick
first name:
according to the Harry Potter trading card game, it's Filius. Warwick Davis,
in an interview
with Comingsoon.com, indicated that JKR had told him that Flitwick's first
name was Filius. That's still second hand, but it's pretty convincing.

Professor Flitwick, the
Charms teacher, was a tiny little wizard who had to stand on a pile of
books to see over his desk. At the start of their first class he took the
roll call, and when he reached Harry's name he gave an excited squeak and
toppled out of sight. (SS7)

Before Ron could answer,
Professor Flitwick appeared at Malfoy's elbow.
"Not arguing, I hope,
boys?" he squeaked.
"Potter's been sent
a broomstick, Professor," said Malfoy quickly.
"Yes, yes, that's
right," said Professor Flitwick, beaming at Harry. "Professor McGonagall
told me all about the special circumstances, Potter. And what model is
it?"
"A Nimbus Two Thousand,
sir," said Harry, fighting not to laugh at the look of horror on Malfoy's
face. "And it's really thanks to Malfoy here that I've got it," he added.

So the three of them followed
Hagrid and his tree off to the Great Hall, where Professor McGonagall and
Professor Flitwick were busy with the Christmas decorations....Professor
Flitwick...had golden bubbles blossoming out of his wand and was trailing
them over the branches of the new tree. (SS

They had practical exams
as well. Professor Flitwick called them one by one into his class to see
if they could make a pineapple tapdance across a desk. (SS

Hedwig was still angry
with Harry about the disasterous car journey and Ron's wand was still malfunctioning,
surpassing itself on Friday morning by shooting out of Ron's hand in Charms
and hitting tiny old Professor Flitwick squarely between the eyes, creating
a large, throbbing green boil where it had struck. So with one thing and
another, Harry was quite glad to reach the weekend. (CS

"And the fun doesn't stop
here! I'm sure my colleagues will want to enter into the spirit of the
occasion! Why not ask Professor Snape to show you how to whip up a Love
Potion! And while you're at it, Professor Flitwick knows more about Entrancing
Enchantments than any wizard I've ever met, the sly old dog!" Professor
Flitwick buried his face in his hands. (CS

"It has happened," she
told the silent staff room. "A student has been taken by the monster. Right
into the Chamber itself."
Professor Flitwick
let out a squeal. Professor Sprout clapped her hands over her mouth. Snape
gripped the back of a chair very hard and said, "How can you be sure?"
"The Heir of Slytherin,"
said Professor McGonagall, who was very white, "left another message. Right
underneath the first one. `Her skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever.
"'
Professor Flitwick
burst into tears. (CS

Inside the castle, there
was a buzz of Christmas in the air. Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher,
had already decorated his classroom with shimmering lights that turned
out to be real, fluttering fairies. (PA
-
Some of the teachers,
like little Professor Flitwick, gave up trying to teach them much when
their minds were so clearly elsewhere; he allowed them to play games in
his lesson on Wednesday, and spent most of it talking to Harry about the
perfect Summoning Charm Harry had used during the first task of the Triwizard
Tournament. (GF

They were supposed to
be practicing the opposite of the Summoning Charm today - the Banishing
Charm. Owing to the potential for nasty accidents when objects kept flying
across the room, Professor Flitwick had given each student a stack of cushions
on which to practice, the theory being that these wouldn't hurt anyone
if they went off target. It was a good theory, but it wasn't working very
well. Neville's aim was so poor that he kept accidentally sending much
heavier things flying across the room - Professor Flitwick, for instance.
