"Harry Potter"

In 2000, thanks to the efforts of Susan Phelps's mother, fourteen-year-old James Phelps, along with his brother Oliver, got on the project "Harry Potter". At first, the boys had to go to audition in the city of Leeds, 200 miles from their home to show what they are capable of. Then an invitation was received by mail to take part in the shootings. They got the roles of the same twin brothers as they were - the characters of George and Fred Weasley. It so happened that the characters of Joanne Rowling grew up together with the entire film crew engaged in the adaptation of the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends. James and Oliver Phelps with each passing year grew up exactly for a year, and their characters George and Fred named Weasley did not lag behind the performers of roles.

Oliver and James starred in all parts of the series about Harry Potter, and in 2008 they were invited to the film "Peter King will never leave you." This series is the most radically different from the Harry Potter films, made in the genre of fantasy. The plot of Peter Kingdome was much closer to real life.

How can you distinguish between twin brothers?

External data of James Phelps correspond to the classic type of Londoner-Englishman: a special reddiness, small freckles, light brown eyes. He has a high growth (1 m 95 cm), likes extravagance in clothes, wears bracelets, beads, chains, but James's "hippies" can not be called, all in moderation. Similarity with Oliver is striking, but nevertheless twins can be distinguished on several grounds. First of all, these are several large birthmarks, Oliver has a neck, and James has a face. The brothers have different smiles, Oliver smiles openly, James is shy. Recently, the complexion of James has acquired the outlines of the beginning fullness, and Oliver remains thin and fit.
