Warwick Davis will reprise Professor Filius Flitwick in HBO's reboot of Harry Potter. The reboot is associated with JK Rowling as executive producer and has drawn controversy for her outspoken views about the trans community. Several high-profile actors, including John Lithgow, Paapa Essiedu and Nick Frost, have faced backlash for joining the cast. Former director Chris Columbus expressed confusion about the reboot's purpose given the recent final film in 2011.
