Angel holds a bachelor's degree in language interpreting and is passionate about all things culture and communication—especially in how it relates to popular media throughout history (from Shakespeare to Friends to Game of Thrones).

Throughout his tenure as Flitwick, Warwick underwent a few major redesigns. Every director brought something new to the series, so while Davis' character is a wrinkled, balding, bearded figure in the first two Harry Potter films, he became a younger, black-haired, mustached professor in the remaining six.
