Harry Potter and Stuttering

I read somewhere that in Harry Potter movie (perhaps there are more than one and I am completely ignorant about series) one character Professor Quirrell stutters and he has been portrayed in a way that strengthens the negative stereotypes about stuttering. Looking to the fact that children constitute majority of viewers, many CWS (who are more in number than PWS in any case) can feel hurt and sink further into frustration and self blame game. Has any one seen this movie?
