Back in 1997, on June 26, for the first time, an unknown book by an aspiring writer hit the shelves of English bookstores. Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary book about wizards would not only sell at an unknown speed, but also become the most popular franchise of all time, gathering billions of fans from all over the world, which increased significantly with the release of the first film based on this work. Since then, the book has grown into a whole series of 7 volumes and 8 films, telling us about the unknown magical world hiding between ordinary people. Should I say what the work is about?
Undoubtedly, each of us at least once heard of Harry Potter
A series of books and films tells us about a young orphan who lived in a closet under the stairs in the house of the Dursley family, unfriendly to him - Harry's uncle and aunt. But the boy is not as simple as it seems, and on11th birthday An unexpected letter delivered in many copies by owls turned his life upside down.
Harry Potter discovers for himself, and at the same time for us, the wonderful world of magic, magic, finds the answer to the mystery of the death of his parents and the mysterious scar in the form of lightning on his forehead. Also, the little hero finds out that he is the Chosen One, the Boy-Who-Lived, and his destiny is to confront the most evil and terrible magician of all time - Voldemort. But, despite the huge losses, Harry copes with his task, because the heart of a young wizard is full of courage, courage and kindness. But even he could fail if he did not have true friends. And it's not just about Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
JK Rowling has created a lot of interesting characters, and among them it is worth highlighting the twin brothers. This is Fred and George Weasley. The redhead family is incomplete without them.
Fred and George Weasley are the real names of every actor
Probably two mischievous guys immediately won the hearts of millions of fans. These merry fellows always knew how to entertain themselves and others, and millions of people still dream of visiting their store of all kinds of magical pests. But who gave us these beautiful characters anyway?
These people, better known as Fred and George Weasley, are actors endowed with great talent and charisma from birth. They are also twin brothers, and the same merry fellows as their main characters succeeded in character. The real name of a character like George Weasley is Oliver, and Freda isJames Phelps. Today's hero of this article is Oliver Phelps.
Shooting in the film - what had to be done to enter the role
We all know George Weasley as a red-haired, cheerful and witty guy who, no less than his brother, shines with unprecedented courage and intelligence. Oliver is not much different from his famous character. More precisely, he differs, perhaps, only in hair color. The brothers have them chestnut, and the Phelps dyed them especially for filming. As they themselves say, when the boys told their classmates that they would star in Harry Potter, no one believed them, but when the brothers came to school with red hair the next day, all doubts disappeared.
From birth to role in a famous movie
Oliver's birthday is February 25th. The brothers were born in 1986 in the town of Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, England, to Martin and his wife Susan Phelps. The ability for acting appeared in both brothers in childhood, which manifested itself in many school plays. When their mother told them about the casting for the role of the Weasley twin brothers, James and Oliver immediately persuaded their parents to go - and the children got their roles. Thus began the acting career of the brothers who played the brothers of Ron Weasley, who were named as follows: Fred and George Weasley.
Actors - like their characters
Once they switched roles - James played George for a while, and Oliver played Fred. By the way, Oliver always wanted to play Fred. But soonthe substitution was discovered, and the scenes with their participation had to be re-shot.
Differences and tastes
James and Oliver Phelps are very interesting personalities, it's worth noting. But they are sometimes very difficult to distinguish from each other. Although there are a lot of differences between them - for example, Oliver has a small mole on his neck, which James does not have, but the latter has a small scar on his eyebrow. The brothers are fond of football and golf, and their favorite style of music is rock (Bon Jovi, Eagles, Green Day, Coldplay, Creed, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Queen, Velvet Revolver). Oliver is also terribly afraid of rats. Well, here it can be understood.
Oliver Phelps' personal life is not such a secret
Our George Weasley is the owner of a happy family. He is married to Kathy Humpage, with whom he began a relationship back in 2008. The couple, by the way, have already got married: a private ceremony was organized for this at St Mary's Priory church.
