1. Complete the "First Lesson" chapter in Year 1. This chapter introduces you to Flitwick and his Charms class.
2. Collect all 10 Red Bricks in the "First Lesson" chapter. Red Bricks are scattered throughout each level and unlock characters, items, and other features.
3. Once you've collected all 10 Red Bricks, Professor Flitwick will become playable.
Note: Some characters might require you to collect all 10 Red Bricks in the "First Lesson" chapter of *each* year, not just the first year. However, you should be able to unlock Professor Flitwick by completing these steps in Year 1.
Good luck unlocking Professor Flitwick!
