What happened to the Weasley twins from Harry Potter?

22 years ago, Oliver and James Phelps participated for the first time in their lives in a casting test. Her mother, Susan, heard that a major Hollywood production was looking for young actors in Leeds, and the two twins stood up for the audition, unaware that they were about to change their lives forever. That great production was ‘harry potter and the Philosopher’s Stone‘ (Chris Columbus, 2001), the first installment of the film adaptation of the famous novels by JK Rowling. Oliver and James, after passing that test and five others later, ended up being selected to play the Weasley twins, George and Fred, red-haired and mischievous companions of Harry Potter at Hogwarts.

The Phelpses appeared in each and every one of the eight films in the saga, so fans of the wizard boy watched them grow up. But more than a decade has passed since the premiere of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2‘ (David Yates, 2011) and the truth is that, in recent years, we have lost track of these interpreters who, as has happened to other cast members of the franchise such as Rupert Grint, Evanna Lynch or DevonMurray, they are much calmer since they stopped being magician’s apprentice.

James and Oliver were among the stars at the opening of The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, a theme park dedicated to the saga located at Universal Studios. At the age of 30, they left behind the red color of their hair and that obsession with wearing the same look that the movies imposed on them. In 2015 they worked together on two films not released in our country, ‘Danny and the Human Zoo‘ (Destiny Ekaragha) and ‘patchwork‘ (Tyler MacIntyre), in 2019 they did the same in ‘7 Days: The Story of Blind Dave Heeley‘ (Dominic HigginsIan Higgins) and James also signed up for ‘Cadia: The World Within‘ (Cedric Gegel). They worked together again on ‘Last night in Soho‘ (Edgar Wright, 2021) and we saw them, of course, in the special ‘Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts‘ (Casey Patterson, Joe Pearlman, 2022).

Golf fans and football rivals (Oliver is a fan of Aston Villa and James is a fan of Birmingham, both from the Premier League), these giants (both are 1.91m) moved to Santa Monica in 2013 from their native England , looking for new professional opportunities. They live on horseback between the United States and Great Britain and dedicate part of their time to charity and solidarity works.

The black comedy already appears on his agenda ‘Own Worst Enemy‘ (Philip Pugh) and James, more active than his brother, prepare the British action film ‘Brigantine‘ (Thomas R. Bond II).
