Warwick Davis is to reprise his role as Professor Filius Flitwick in the upcoming Harry Potter television series, HBO has confirmed.
The Bafta-winning actor played the part of the popular professor in the Harry Potter movie series about the famous wizard, based on the books of JK Rowling.
He is the first actor from the Harry Potter film franchise to reprise their role in the upcoming TV series.
He also appeared on the big screen as Griphook, a goblin employed at the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, but that role will now be played for TV by Leigh Gill, who starred as Gary Puddles in Joker and its sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux.
Additional cast members for the Potter TV series were also announced as part of the Back to Hogwarts celebration on Monday. Every year on 1 September, fans gather to celebrate on the day that Hogwarts students always return to the witchcraft and wizardry boarding school for the start of term.
The new recruits include Elijah Oshin as Harry Potters friend Dean Thomas and Finn Stephens and William Nash as villain Draco Malfoys sidekicks, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.
The TV series is expected to take 10 years to complete in total, with the first series set to launch in 2027.
Production began earlier this summer, when the first picture of lead actor 11-year-old Dominic McLaughlin in costume was released.
Sirine Saba will play Professor Pomona Sprout, Richard Durdon will appear as Professor Cuthbert Binns and Brid Brennan will play Madam Poppy Pomfrey.
They join stars such as John Lithgow, who will play Dumbledore, Nick Frost as Hagrid, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall and Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape.
The programme will be filmed at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, which is where the eight Harry Potter movies were also shot.
HBO has previously said the series would be "a faithful adaptation of the iconic books".
The TV series will have more breathing space to explore the plotlines from the books without the time constraints of the film.
