Is Flitwick a dwarf or just a really short human? I can't remember it saying anywhere.

This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

Flitwick is the coolest!

I really don't remember them saying anything, only that he's a short, stubby man or seomthing.

Here's all I could find... SS page 133, "Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, was a tiny littlt wizard who had to stand on a pile of books to see over his desk."

Why do you ask Kitch?   Also, I love Flitwick, no problems or unfairness in his classes, and his students always do well (mark of a fine teacher).

Fanfiction purposes really. Dwarves are about to come into play and I don't know whether or not to use Flitwick as a dwarf, half-dwarf, or a really short guy. I'll just put him as a short guy.

My fic is 'Harry Potter and the Staff Of Slytherin' if anyone cares. It's on fanfiction.net and its about 35,000 words and 150 reviews.

In the movies - he almost looks like a Gringotts Goblin..... I think he's just a short man.

Well in the film, the actor who played Flitwick also played a Gringotts Goblin, so it's understandable.

Cheap directors cutting down expenses.

I always just picture him to be a really tiny guy, like Paul Simon. Normal man, but smaller.

Damnit! Net54 ate my responce and I didn't notice! I prety much said what Kitch said about the actor before Kitch said it. Oh well.

MadEye's quote from the book really makes it sound like Flitwick is just a tiny human. Probably not so unusual in the magic world to have people 8 feet to 2 feet tall without genetic conditions such as dwarfism. Who knows? Maybe Flitwick's great-great-great-great grandmother was a dwarf.

I agree with the short human theory. JKR would have mentioned that he was a dwarf if he was a dwarf. (And if she had mentioned that he was a dwarf I'm sure it would have been really important later on)

You keep seeing in the books in many ways, how there are all sorts of beings, short, tall, magical, non-magical, werewolf, goblin, giant, etc...  JKR point seems to be, over and over, that it doesn't matter what one looks like or what one is, but what one chooses to be (good or evil).

I think that Flitwick probably has some relative who is a dawrf, so he is part dawrf because JK has a lot of characters who are part non-human (ex. fleur, hagrid), so i wouldn't be surprised if he was part dawrf or he could just be really really short!

I doubt it will make a huge difference, but JKR does seem to stress his size. He could be part dwarf or something, but I bet it's a very small percentage.
