OMG the book is so dam sad.. "Percy layer on his body to protect his brother for any more harm as his last laugh was echoed on his face" ah shit that was god dam emotional
"And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred's eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face."That was the sentence that pretty much made every Potterhead die.
You know, if they actually put that scene in the film and made it look like it was actually all in George's head (because he definitely desparately hoped this was real) and perhaps put a dialouge along with it. The scene might even be better.
I really wish they had filmed the scene where Fred actually dies fighting next to Percy who has rejoined his family. It was one of the most beautiful scenes written in the books, to me, and would have had me blubbering like a baby
Ollie (George) could only do 5 takes because watching his brother pretend to be dead was so emotionally exhausting for him... That makes me really sad :/
Iris www.mugglenet.com/2018/03/mythtery-how-hard-was-it-really-for-oliver-to-film-freds-death-scene/ has a video where he talks about the experience he said it was fine and wasn’t bad like the rumors were saying. He simply just left his brother sleeping while he went off to lunch after because it was chill lol
I- that should have been in the movie. *Everyone crying* Fred: *snores* Everyone: FRED??!!? Fred: 5 more minutes! George: UR ALIVE! Fred: yeah....its pretty obvious...now what's for lunch?
Fact- Mrs. Weasley continued making those sweaters with an "F" on them,. When Fred II was old enough, George decided he should give it to him. It almost killed him to do so, but when he saw him wearing that sweater, he smiled for the first time since his brothers death.
It's really cute that he actually slept because he was so into the scene. I find this really adorable and sad at the same time. But seriously,what's a twin without the other?
0:14 THAT IS NOT ACTING. THAT IS OLIVER CRYING REAL TEARS BECAUSE HE WAS IMAGINING IF THIS WAS REAL AND HE LOST HIS BEST FRIEND, HIS BROTHER. *THINGS THAT ARE OKAY: NOT THIS*
His death was unsatisfying! I mean he was my favourite character, and if I know ofcourse does not everyody like Fred like this - i cant imagine anybody who says, well no i didnt liked that guy and for a such beloved character the death because there was somewhere, anytime an explosion and whoops, sorry unfortunately he died, is way to less. I think He earns much more attention for his death scene....But well could also be that I´m just over reacting, because i celebrate Fred as character that much xDD After all I´m just glad that the actors, BOTH of them, are safe and sound :3
***** hahahaha!!! I can totally imagine that happening! but in all seriousness, even if he did snore, they can edit out the sound... although I'm sure it would be hard for the cast to act seriously around someone snoring right on set :P
***** HAHAHA girl you are killing me!!!!!! XD Anything Oliver and James do is funny. Those twins are clowns at heart and that's what I love about them!
Mrs Weasley does homemade sweaters to Every Kid who celebrates christmas in Hogwarts. But on the people whos name bagins With F there are some random tears laying on the package.
we had to read the book in school and it got to my turn to read it out loud and it was the part were fred died but I couldn't carry on reading it cause I burst out crying in front of everyone and looked like a bloody blubbering baboon
+Kayla Staniforth I had to read it as well but i was in i think 8th grade when i read it in my class and when it got to Freds death part i was reading it and trying hard not to cry at all cause I thought yeah right he is not dead but then when the movie came out i just cried and cried like a baby and would not stop
Same, I was also forced to read that part and I started crying and my whole class just looked at me like 'why is she crying?' and i was trying to give them all death stares but I couldn't because I was too sad
I’ve heard that a year after Fred dies, George looks into the Mirror of Erised and sees himself with both ears. He turns away, disgusted with himself, only to realize it was Fred in the mirror. 😥😓😭😭😭😭😭😭. Also, I heard this from someone else, I’m not taking credit for it, I just wanted people to know.
@@thepurpleemerald8612 that one version got destroyed, but that room has the ability to change. So it's quite possible it still exists, but the storage version is gone
In epilogue,there was a story.Mrs Weasley was cooking something,then said : ''Fred!Come help me''. Before she hear what she said she starts to cry.Then George said ''Honestly,woman,you call yourself our mother.''. That was a moment when I cried,beacuse that shouldnt be a Fred. :-(
Part of me is glad they didn't actually show him die because the twins have always been my favorite characters and I think it would have just devastated me, but at the same time, I wish we had gotten more than what they gave us. It was SO short and it hardly gave anyone time to register what had happened.
They were going to film a full stretched out scene of Fred's death but Oliver couldn't act it because seeing his own brother pretend to be dead was too emotionally exhausting for him.
“Dear, Fred. Remember that time we tried to put our names into the Goblet of Fire? I wish that wasn’t the only time we’d see each other old.” Always missing you - George.
I felt like the movies didn't dwell on any of the character deaths long enough (except Dumbledore). As soon as the emotion built up in me, the scene changed.
i think they did Dobby's the best in the movies. with the books all of the good guy deaths had me crying, but with the movies Dobby was the only one that really got me. it had me crying my eyes out in the theater.
A wise commenter once explained perfectly why JK Rowling didn't kill Umbridge instead of Fred, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Dumbledore and Snape. They said "When you're in a garden, which flowers do you pick? Exactly, the most beautiful ones" I'm just spreading the quote.
I have this mental image of Oliver freaking out for a second when they call cut and realizing James isn't waking up before realizing he just fell asleep, before getting pissed off at him falling asleep during the big emotional scene.
@@emmyjemmy4208 basically they're saying if Oliver had a boggart it'd be James' corpse, and since they actually had to film James (Fred) being dead, Oliver saw his boggart
Nooo! Nooo! Not Fred please! why, why couldn't it of been someone els. Why J.K.R.? WHY! There can't be a George without a Fred. The thought still brings tears to my eyes..... out didn't happen. It didnt happen. I just read it wrong. I saw the sene wrong. Fred is ok. It didn't happen.
When Dumbledore died, I yelled in grief. When Dobby died, I accidentally ripped part of that page and shouted dirty words at Bellatrix. But when Fred died, I just lay down my head and literally wept. I've still got the tear stains on that page, and since that day I've never read that page in Deathly Hallows again.
I think what I found most heartbraking about Fred's death was that they had to cut the filming short because Oliver couldn't stand watcing his brother pretend to be dead. I think that's the thing that really hit me when I found out, because you'd sort of expect for the actors to be able to work through the fact that it wasn't real. That's what makes the HP series great, that it just worms it's way into you without you even knowing.
Oliver sai it was hard for him to do that scene. He said that he didn't see Fred laying down there dead, but he saw James. he said: I saw James laying there pretending to be dead and I just burst out into tears. I can not imagen my brother twin would be dead. The feeling that I might lose him one day just killed me inside So sweet.
omg so u know in the book George loses his ear and him and Fred are making ear-related jokes? well oliver phelps (aka George) was recently in a short called "Ears". coincidence? i think not
The Movie is already over 2 hours long. we have to cut Fred's Death out of the movie! - Why? It'll take like 2 min max to establish it, make a scene where he dies and people moan him! C'mon, it's super important! We could even have a scene where Lupin is killed! He dies off-screen in the book, but we need to make the tragedy as realistic as possible so people can relate! eh? eh?? :) *WE NEED TO CUT IT OUT!* - Ok Boss -.-
I re-read it 5 times not believing it then started bawling and repeatedly throwing the book at my wall, my family actually had to come and calm me down😭😥😢😱😭😭
As great as the last movie was, the one thing I always wished they did was put in Fred actually dying. It was such an emotional moment in the book, and to just cut it out. I think it left a lot of fans needing some sort of closure that we are never going to get. It was such a pivotal moment, Fred basically forgiving Percy for doing all the things he did. (Another thing I wish they had left in the movies)
the movie didn't capture the emotion of this like the book did i couldn't breathe fir the longest reading about it but the movie it went by so fast although it was different seeing the characters mourn but in the film it still went by like the snap of a finger
"[...] We have done everything together since birth and to see my brother laying down on a stretcher pretending to be dead just killed me inside. After James got up and I gave him a huge hug. David said you did great, it was very believable. Then I told him I just thought of it as me and James not Fred and George." Oliver Phelps
The fact that my aunt's twin brother passed away before I was even born, she always gets sad when anybody says his name and seeing this scene for the first time broke my heart omg
Fred's death was easily the most heartbreaking one in the series for me. He had so much life, and so much to give, and George must have been left so incomplete without him. His death completely blindsided me when I first read the book. I was HYSTERICAL crying.
he fell asleep and didn't get awakened by ron and his twin brother, mother, father, sister mourning over his fake death? XD! but i still think his death is sad.
From what I understand, it was an emotional strain. When Oliver saw James just laying there, "dead" i guess he couldn't handle more than a few seconds at a time, because the thought that constantly ran through his head was "what if this were real." And they both started bawling.
When filming Freds death the tears from George were not acting.They were real because he began thinking about how it would be like if his twin brother really lay there dead.
"Filming Fred’s death was actually pretty easy. On the day we filmed I knew it was gonna happen so every time I saw James I would get really sad. When we went to film it they had James lay down on the stretcher and just wait until the rest of the cast got there. I took one look at James on the stretcher and burst into tears. I can’t even imagine how it would feel to lose him [...]"
Yes, Percy turned out to be a jerk, but then he came back to his family, he apologised and cursed himself for having been so stupid. It was even worse in the books, because Percy cracked a joke in front of the twins that laughed at that, then... BOOM. Fred was gone, right after Percy and their family made up. It made Fred's death even more horrible to me. Besides the fact he finally got a close-knit family, he was a clever, funny, brave and decent young man, but still, he died. Because, sadly, it's what happens in real life as well, especially in wartime. Destiny is a bitch, and good people die, every day.
I slightly disagree but I do agree at the same time??? I'm conflicted whoops If you really think about it, Percy didn't really feel v important and felt overshadowed by his brothers. Yeah, he was a prefect and head boy, but no one really cared. The siblings would be in some sort of sibling pairs who always had each other(? idk how to explain it) - Bill and Charlie, Fred and George, Ron and Ginny. Percy was the sore thumb of the group. Fred and George would tease Percy day and night, and once even sent dragon dung to Percy (just look it up, too lazy to describe the situation). Also when Percy FINALLY managed to land what he saw as a reputable job, he would drop off hints here and there at the dining table in hopes that they would ask him about his new job, but again, no one really gave mind to it. They never really bothered Percy gets in a row with his family after some disagreements; his family full-heartedly believing Harry about Voldemort, but Percy would go to the Ministry for his "reliable" source of information. but yeah that's why im stuck between agreeing and disagreeing
James said that Oliver had it worse off when it came to the death scene, because he had to go through it over and over, while he had a nap. He also said that after several takes, Oliver was so emotionally and physically exhausted that the director had to call it a day.
Yes, I absolutely did it. But to me it's not fair. It does not matter if he apologized, the damaged still there. Maybe, I am selfish or whatever you wanna call me, but at the end I would rather prefer Percy's death than Fred.
+kariusalexis seriously he betrayed he's family just because he wanted to become minister for magic. But he did apologize for his mistake. In my opinion no Weasley deserved to die. Cause if Ron died I would cry my heart out.
In the books, I was reading the part where Fred died fighting with percy and I could hear percy voice screaming 'No Fred, NO!" And I just bawled my eyes out
Some comments i found to that scene: "I took one look at James on the stretcher and burst into? tears. I can’t even imagine how it would feel to lose him. We have done everything together since birth and to see my brother laying down on a stretcher pretending to be dead just killed me inside. After James got up and I gave him a huge hug. David said, "you did great, it was very believable." Then I told him I just thought of it as me and James not Fred and George."
I got really torn up and heartbroken when I saw Fred (James) lying on the strecher but when everyone started crying (especially Ron/Rupert) I lost it and started bawling. Panning over to Tonks (Natalia) and Remus (David) didn't help my situation. :'( I have to say that I love Harry Potter for one reason: It is so amazingly well made that we form special bonds with the character and to lose one is like losing family.
"Yeah, it was pretty hard on all of us seeing James like that but we all felt really bad for Oliver. I mean, we were acting sad about it because he was our fake brother or son or friend but Oliver had it for real, you know, that was his real brother, his real best friend lying there. So we all gave him a hug after and for the first time James and Oliver said ‘I love you’ to each other in front of us. Not that they would ever admit it but it was still a very sweet moment." (Dan Radcliffe)
Its funny how James just straight up fall alseep during this distressing scene to record, but Oliver just leaving him there when they wrapped up shooting to go eat with the rest of the cast is just priceless. Even in real life these 2 just mess with eachother.
