James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps (born 25 February 1986) are identical twin English actors, best known for playing Fred and George Weasley, respectively, in the Harry Potter film series. James and Oliver were born in the Sutton Coldfield area of Birmingham, England on 25 February 1986. They are the only sons of Susan (née Spare) and Martyn Phelps. Oliver is the older of the two, by 13 minutes. Growing up, they attended Little Sutton Primary School and the Arthur Terry Secondary School. In 2000, when they were 14 years old, the twins were cast as Fred and George Weasley in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
They are known by friends, family and film crew to be pranksters, from something as innocent like changing their names around. Even though they did admit to changing their characters around, it was not done while filming, it was done once while in rehearsal. They claimed the rumour about changing during filming was made up in an interview by moviesireland
James and Oliver's best friends in the Harry Potter cast are Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis. Outside of acting, James has worked as a runner on the Potter sets, and other film productions, such as The Da Vinci Code.
