English actors and brothers James and Oliver Phelps played the role of the fake couple Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter films. Now, the brothers have revealed that they didn’t know which couple they should be playing for a few minutes before reading the album for the first film – Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone. While James played Fred, Oliver drew a picture of George.
The brothers showed the tidbit to their co-star in the franchise Evanna Lynch on their podcast Normal Not Normal. The topic of the article was the upcoming Lynch memoir. Lynch played the role of Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films. Oliver said on the latest podcast, “We’re talking five minutes before we start, we still don’t know who Fred was and who George was.” The actress said when asked the cast director about the same thing, she thought he was joking.
Oliver said, “Now we like to think they’re just… ‘Oh, you didn’t get the memo about the big meeting we had in Burbank with such 50 people on call. But looking back, it may have been either Chris, David, or JK Rowling just saying… ‘It’s James Fred. ‘”
Published by Headline Books, Lynch’s memoir reveals her struggle with eating disorders, recovery and enthusiasm for her dream. “In a way, this book is a reminder of my struggle with an eating disorder. However, it is not a book about illness and eating; it’s about rebuilding you after, literally getting it back, ”she wrote on Instagram, announcing the recent reminder.
