In Harry Potter

Twins James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps are English actors who plays the Weasley twins Fred and George in all film adaptations of Harry Potter series. They were born just 13 minutes apart on February 25th, 1986 in Sutton Coldfield, England, UK.

Both young men have always shown a great interest in acting and have been in many high school productions together. They are currently attending Arthur Terry School for the first year of 6th form, where they will stay until they graduate, this year. They don't know just yet what they're going to do with their lives, be it going into movies full time or going to College.

Interests: Golf (handicap 20 for Oliver and handicap 18 for James), rock music, Xbox 360, PlayStation, and acting.
