'Harry Potter' Star, 55, Wants to Be in Upcoming Reboot
Harry Potter star Warwick Davis, who played Griphook and Professor Filius Flitwick in the original films, says he'd like to appear in the upcoming Max reboot series.
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly on May 21, Davis said he has not been asked to film for the upcoming Harry Potter series. He said, however, that he would like to appear in the show if given the chance.
"It would be lovely to return to that magical place," said Davis to the publication.
He also shared that he is a fan of the franchise, created by J.K. Rowling, because of its messaging.
"I loved the Harry Potter stories. The whole concept of what Harry Potter stands for. So to see a whole new retelling of that story can only be a good thing," said Davis during the interview.
In addition, Davis said he has remained close to his Harry Potter co-star, Tom Felton, who famously played Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) rival, Draco Malfoy.
"Tom introduced me to Twitter when we were on the movies and we just kept in touch ever since," said Davis.
He also noted that Felton recently "presented [him] with [his] BAFTA fellowship." The Willow actor described the experience as "really lovely."
"He gave me a lovely speech. So me and Tom are quite close," said Davis to the publication.
Davis discussed his time as a Harry Potter star during a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"What an amazing series of films to be involved with," said Davis in the interview.
He also said he enjoyed playing both Griphook and Professor Filius Flitwick in the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which premiered in 2011. He shared he liked filming Griphook's death scene.
"It's always lovely to have a scene death in a film. Fortunately for me, I was alive as the other character beyond that, so it was kind of a win-win," said the actor.
The upcoming Harry Potter reboot series does not yet have a release date.

Spohn DV-13 Convertible on Bring a Trailer: You're Not Likely To See Another
This coachbuilt custom car hails from Germany and is fitted with a Cadillac V-8. Would you believe, only a handful were built? It's the concours winner nobody was expecting. The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance features awards in several categories, including engineering excellence, historical significance, and special mentions. It also has an award for "most audacious exterior." The car pictured here is the 2013 award winner, and audacious doesn't even begin to cover it. This is a 1957 Spohn DV-13, and the customized roadster is up for auction on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). Bring a Trailer The Spohn is the offspring of a German coachbuilder with a long tradition of clothing the finest cars in the world in gorgeous design. Before WWII, Spohn bodywork was worn by Maybachs and Mercedes-Benzes. In the postwar period, it, uh, got a little more creative. Okay, let's stop beating around the bush: This car looks like what Powell Motors would have built as the sporty followup version of The Homer car from The Simpsons. It is an acquired taste, like sea urchin or accordion solos, and on first glance looks supremely goofy. Remember the part in The Fly when Jeff Goldblum gets his DNA crossed with a housefly while experimenting with teleportation? This is like that, except it's a 1949 Cadillac and a Daimler SP250 having a transporter malfunction.

Zawe Ashton Reveals Her Second Pregnancy in Emilia Wickstead
Ahead of her appearance on the red carpet for the closing of the SXSW festival in London, Zawe Ashton has a very special announcement to make, shared exclusively with Vogue: she and her husband Tom Hiddleston are expecting their second child. Given the momentous nature of the news, choosing the right look for the occasion was paramount. To reveal her growing baby bump, the glowing British actor will take to the red carpet in a resplendent, sleeveless sky-blue silk crepe gown with tumbling frill details, worn beneath a svelte, puddling cape in matching fabric. Photo: Rhys Frampton Designed by Emilia Wickstead, the look's poignancy derives not only from the significance of the occasion, but also from the fact that Ashton and the designer are longstanding collaborators and friends. 'We met years ago at the British Fashion Awards when she dressed me and we attended together,' Ashton reminisces. 'We had the most fabulous night and instantly felt like kindred spirits. We aligned so much on fashion and womanhood, and I've always loved her designs. They embody a seamless blend of classic and contemporary, and she's also just an incredible craftsperson. You feel the level of detail that goes into every piece when you wear them.' 'Dressing Zawe is always a joy, but this moment feels especially meaningful and full circle,' Wickstead says. 'Zawe wore a soft pink gown from us during her last pregnancy—quietly glowing, with a little secret only she knew. Now, to celebrate her second in this beautiful blue from our pre-fall collection, and to share it with the world, feels like a sweet continuation of that story. I'm so honored to be part of it. Zawe is also such a vibrant, clever and special friend and muse of the brand—she's been wearing Emilia Wickstead for years, and I love being part of her journey.'
