Warwick Davis has become the first actor from the original Harry Potter film franchise to land a role in the upcoming HBO series reboot, reprising his role as the popular Professor Filius Flitwick.

The news was announced on Monday, September 1, as part of the Back to Hogwarts celebrations, where it was confirmed Davis will return to the Wizarding World in the role he made famous. In the films, Davis also played Griphook, a goblin who worked at Gringotts Wizarding Bank; however, that role will be portrayed by Leigh Gill in the TV series.
