Filius Flitwick - Tumblr Posts
Filius Flitwick Headcanons
born 14th March 1947 (making him like 12 years younger than McGonagall)
so not the first film's version haha
pisces
he/him
3'8"
music lover
his goblin ancestory comes from his mothers side of the family
his mother, Fauna Flitwick was actually terrible at charms
his father, Hector Flitwick was a duelling master and a curse breaker
Filius first showed signs of magic when he was 2 days old, when he made everything in his room float for a few seconds
Filius went to muggle primary school (his dad was muggleborn and his mother left wizarding society due to being quarter goblin)
he was bullied for being a "dwarf" and for being "weird"
when he was 9 his father was killed in a duel
he was nearly sorted into Hufflepuff but his wit and creativity made him more fit for Ravenclaw
when he started at Hogwarts, McGonagall had only been teaching there for two years and was not yet Deputy or Head of Gryffindor (Dumbledore was before he became Headmaster)
his favourite teacher was his Charms teacher, also his Head of House
her name was Proffesor Cackle-Weather, and she was friends with Hector
she always had a soft spot for Filius
he was friendly with many of his teachers especially Cackle-Weather, McGonagall, Dumbledore and Sprout
Filius learned how to cast a Patronus in fifth year, it is a dove, small and powerful like him
he kind of reminds me of a magician
he got 10 O.W.L.s in Charms, DADA, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Astronomy, History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies and Study if Ancient Runes
before his sixth year his mother passed
Proffesor Cackle-Weather let him live with her during that time
he became close with her daughter Celena
they move to London together after Hogwarts
after Hogwarts he became a duelling master like his father at age 19
when he turned 21 he became a proffesor at Hogwarts
Celena worked at St. Mungos
they married when Flitwick was 27
they had no children
Flitwick did not become Head of Ravenclaw by the time the Marauders attended Hogwarts, but the year they left Cackle-Weather retired and Flitwick replaced him
lily was one of his best charms students
so were fred and george
hermione and draco were quite skilled too 😅
Celena was killed by Dolohov at the Battle of Hogwarts
which is why Flitwick killed him
Flitwick became Deputy Head to McGonagall and kinda threw himself into work
McGonagall is there for him as she understands his loss
he retires at 80

I feel like we, as a fandom, failed to acknowledge the fact that Professor Pomona Sprout and Professor Filius Flitwick were CANONICALLY EXES.
Can you imagine the drama? Like bro? Why did we overlook this? This is even better than any civil war EVER!
