I’m glad that you covered this. Just because Fred and George are twins doesn’t mean they don’t have their own personalities/traits. They fed off of each other but were also quite different in their own ways.
True but fred didn't plan it all they did together because they are brothers and they have an amazing bond they made the joke shop stuff together I repeat fred didn't plan it all other wise it might aswell just be weasley wizard wheezes not weasleys wizard wheezes
I would bet that to their family and closest friends they were easy to distinguish. I have twin friends who are now young men in college, but I have known them since they were born, taught them in Sunday school at every age, and got them hooked on the Dresden Files books. They are very different to me, and easy to tell apart. It’s nice that JKR treated them like real people with differences. My son is reading book 5 now, and just got to the triumphant exit from Hogwarts. He probably can tell something bad is coming because I have trouble hiding my feelings from him as we talk about my favorite characters who are now his, Fred and George.
My late father, he died of pancreatic cancer in 2015, was the "lead singer " of a set of identical twins. My uncle has described as it as losing a part of one's self, quite literally. Identical twins share everything, literally everything, and to have one die....it seems to be against nature itself. My uncle, like George Weasley, has had to go on. It truly is getting used to a new normal, albeit an incomplete one.
They will meet again. Life on earth is like a fleeting wind. Our true home resides in the realm beyond with our Creator. I hope that at least can bring comfort. It certainly does for me.
George in the books is the more subtle, docile twin but more active in Quidditch. I love their small differences. I also love how their mum can't tell them apart sometimes but Ron always can.
Fred and George were born on April Fools, that makes sense because they always pull pranks and jokes. It's not like every person born on April 1 has to do that but sometimes it kinda makes sense
I think Fred should have appeared as a ghost in the books, jump scaring everybody even better and doing mischief. They could have run the store together. It would have been a lot of fun. 😊
Sadly, becoming a ghost in the Wizarding World is a fate "worse than death", because they can't feel any physical pleasure, only have limited interactions with the physical world, and if you have "unfinished business", you cannot "move on" even after you finished conducting said business. That's why a lot of wizards prefer to move on after death.
Going into the final book, I'd have thought that if you had to have a Weasley die, it would be Percy. Even with this explanation, I'd still be confused about the brothers. It's good to know that George and Angelina could at least find comfort in each other's company, even though they'd both grieve for a long time.
It’s great how the differences between the twins are actually kinda built into their names. Fred is Firstborn, but also their names are in alphabetical order to reflect their birth order. Fred had a shorter name and a shorter life. George had a longer name, and talked at greater length. Even when it comes to quidditch, George’s longer name can be used to remember that he involved himself more in the game.
One of my best friends who adopted me as her little brother took in two cats and apply named them Fred and George. She loved Harry Potter, I was resistant at the time but eventually came around. I miss you big sis, you were right - HP is good.
This is a beautiful analysis of the two and spot on. Yes, Fred seems to have been the “Mischievous in Chief” here, but of course, George was always a willing accomplice.
I've always thought their personality differences were super apparent in the books, but that could be because I've had several twins as friends growing up. And I've always thought Hermoine should have ended up with George. She was always so impressed with their magic skills and George was super thoughtful and could easily see others' needs
I think Fred is listed more bc even when say their names it’s ALWAYS “Fred and George” in that order (I have identical twin cousins Alec and Erik and I feel like Alec is always said more bc their names are always in that order) 🤷🏻♀️
I once was friends with identical twins, a lot of people would ask me how I can tell the difference between them and to be honest... I never did know the difference I just had a feeling I knew who was who and I was right all the time 😅
I have an identical twin sister, and if she died I dont know how I would go on.....I always feel sad in this part of the movie when the twin dies its so sad and hard for me to watch. But I am glad to hear the remaining twin is doing good :)
In terms of getting with his brothers Ex I kinda like thinking its because of the Traits unique to Fred that made their relationship fail , making them decide to break up , where George's Unique traits and their mutual close bond with and loss of Fred made them the more compatible Match and ultimately allowed the relationship to take root and bare fruit. Aswell as keeping Fred's memory alive ^^
I can only imagine that the actors who played the twins had a real hard time shooting some of the scenes in the final movie, especially the one where Fred dies. If there wasn't crying on set that day I would be surprised.
Yeah i always love that when fred says remember george always opening sentence was from fred.i wish rowling should not had killed fred in the end coz it was tregedy beyond bearance if i had a twin who died like fred i definately would had killed myself too what kind of life u can have when your soulmate is gone
Also, (I think) Fred usually appears screen left, and George screen right when the two are involved together in scenes. Am I right? I still can't keep the brothers Phelps straight, however. Odd...
No they said they didn’t because they didn’t mess around at the expense of production and didn’t want to be responsible for the filming process being messed up and delayed because it’s stressful as it is. But they did play a couple of small pranks
Video idea for you to do: What additional effects do spells have that are not seen in the movies? For instance, what else can the patronus charm do besides ward off dementors?
My wife's mother was an identical twin. She told me that her mother wasn't the same at all after she lost her aunt in a very tragic way, to the extent that she (the wife) had to take on the role of parent at 13, while her mother essentially took on the life of a wild, rebellious teenager. She also had to be prescribed Paxil for depression and suicidal tendencies. Her mother would also go on drinking binges sometimes - she recalls the time her mother and her pet chicken got drunk on New Years'. After around 30 years after the death of her twin, she started acting more like an adult and taking up responsible endeavors. She died a few years ago and never stopped missing her twin.
I’m seriously considering having Fred survive in my fanfic where Dudley Dursley is a wizard, he ends up being a much better person, probably ends up idolizing Mad Eye.
These two are some of my favorite characters one because they’re awesome and two because there were two red headed twins that always fooled around in my band class they are the real life version of Fred and George
3:11 Kind of like Phineas and Ferb? 6:05 Also, I believe George was the one that didn't beat the * out of Draco (though not for a lack of trying). Also, thanks for proving that Fred spoke first.
I knew the physical differences and the personality differences (the pranks part) but I think I got Fred and George exactly mismatched. Fred was the one with the longer rounder face and George was the one with the shorter and slightly more squarish face.
Thanks for the video but I do have a request to hear your thoughts on the new footage for hogwarts legacy game after the new state of play trailer just dropped
I know in MANY fanfictions George Weasley has a mole and Fred does not whether or not. It is just creative license or not is up to the reader it how in certain works of fanfiction one can tell the twins apart
Yo just wondering I love harry potter but I never understood why the ministry didn't use thruth potions to ask harry if Voldemort was back in order of the Phoenix or to question any possible death eater?
I have an unrelated question! One of the elemental rules is you can’t magic food. But, we’ve seen inanimate objects being transfigured into animals… so. Seems like a hungry wizard could transfigure a rock into a chicken. Food!
My list (only 7😂) 1. One is named Fred and one George 2. George lost an ear Fred did not 3. Fred died George did not 4. He's not Fred I am 6. George married Angelina Fred did not 7. Gred is better than forge
Fred did drive the car but he didn't plan everything fred wasn't behind it all they both were you know why? Because they are brothers and they have the biggest bond in the whole movies and books this video is a scam george is awesome and so is fred but you don't have to lie to everybody
