Filius Flitwick

Filius Flitwick (born October 17, year unknown)http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrcom/birthdayarchive.shtml is a fictional character in the Harry Potter books. Flitwick is the Charms professor and head of Ravenclaw househttp://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/faq_view.cfm?id=15 at Hogwarts. It is rumoured that Flitwick was dueling champion when he was younger. Flitwick took part in the insurrection against Dolores Umbridge and is known to empathise with "half-breeds", such as Hagrid, due to the fact Flitwick himself is part goblinhttp://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/faq_view.cfm?id=95. As such, he is very short and requires a stack of books in order to see over the top of his desk. He has white hair and taught at Hogwarts when James Potter and company were there. It is possible that he will replace Minerva McGonagall as Deputy Head of Hogwarts.
