Why did the look of Professor Flitwick change in between movies?
As I recall, in the first two Harry Potter films, Professor Flitwick had a long, white mustache that went around his head. However, in the rest of the films, he brown hair, a bowl cut, and a short mustache. Why is this?

I have often wondered why the sequence of films did not do this more aggressively for all the characters -- as the trio get older, Dumbledore, Flitwick and others appear less and less ancient. (This also happens IRL -- the older I get the less old old people seem.)

@EricTowers that could have been used to great effect, but it definitely wouldn't have worked with such abrupt changes from one look of a character to another. It would have to be laid out as a continuous, consequent transition throughout the series.

It's all down to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban director, Alfonso Cuaron.
Warwick Davis explained to MoviePilot.com
When it came to the third film, of course the looks of the whole films had changed.
Alfonso [Cuaron] really wanted to put his mark on the films. And then a lot of things altered: anything from character looks, to the actual layout of Hogwarts itself.
And another thing was happening at the same time. There wasn't really anything for Flitwick in the script at all, and I got a call one day from the producer, saying basically, "There's nothing for you, but we'd love you to be in the film all the same. How do you fancy coming in and doing a kind of cameo in the film as somebody else?"
And I said, "Well, that's great, thanks for asking. I'm always thrilled to be part of all of this, anyway." So, I went in for a meeting with Alfonso, the director, and Nick Dougland, who's the make-up supervisor, and we came up with this new look for this character who would be basically the conductor of the Frog Chorus in the Great Hall. And so, we went with that.
There's been debate over whether the original Flitwick and the younger, grumpier choir master are the same character, but they are confirmed as the same character more than once, most obviously when McGonagall addresses him as 'Filius' in Deathly Hallows II.

I must admit, I was taken aback when I saw the film Flitwick, who
looks very much like a goblin/elf (I’ve never actually asked the

Officially they are not intended to be the same character. However I think the hairstyle in Azkaban is slightly different to the later Flitwick.

Wow. Interesting. I thought it was Alfonso's fault, it turns out it must have been Yates' (seeing as Alfonso intended it to be a different character for Davis to make his cameo appearance as, and David probably conflated them, the oaf).

I have often wondered why the sequence of films did not do this more aggressively for all the characters -- as the trio get older, Dumbledore, Flitwick and others appear less and less ancient. (This also happens IRL -- the older I get the less old old people seem.)

@EricTowers that could have been used to great effect, but it definitely wouldn't have worked with such abrupt changes from one look of a character to another. It would have to be laid out as a continuous, consequent transition throughout the series.
