Summary
Fred and George are among my favorite characters in theHarry Pottermovies , but I ’m hope the approaching HBO TV remake get some much - needed change to their characters . Like most book - to - screen adaptation , the Warner Bros’Harry Potterfilms were forced to allow for a great deal of the tale out . The TV remake , on the other hand , will have the welfare of a lot more time to include the nicety of characters and plotlines . In the showcase of Fred and George , I hope this means that their own personality will be a little more fleshed out .
cut-up and entrepreneurs , the Weasley Gemini the Twins were the central comedic force of theHarry Potterseries , both in the books and movies . James and Oliver Phelps did phenomenal job bringing Fred and George to biography , and I find myself ineffectual to imagine anyone else while reading theHarry Potterbooks . Their comedic timing was excellent , particularly considering their ages when they first start bring the twins , and their mischievous nature was always evident on CRT screen . I have no criticism whatsoever for the Phelpses ' delineation , butthe way Fred and George were written for the movies is another matter .
Harry Potter is being redo as a television show for HBO and every detail about the next adaptation feature the Boy Wizard can be found here .

Fred & George Didn’t Have Their Own Identities In The Harry Potter Movies
The HBO Remake Must Treat Fred & George As Individuals
Fred and George were fundamentally a single unit in theHarry Pottermovies . Unless another type specifically channelise out who was who , it was difficult to order on screen which was Fred and which was George , but it never really weigh much . They spoke at the same fourth dimension and did all the same things , to the stop thatthe Weasley twins are often treated like a undivided character with a unified arc in the picture . While this is middling lawful for the Book , the garbling of their individuality was far less marked since the text always key out who Harry was speak to .
Since theHarry Potterbooks made it much easier to tell the Weasley twins apart , their own unique trait began to fall through . They were both certainly wicked and too clever for their own good , but Fred run to be the more playful and fearless of the brace . This also have in mind he was a tad more fast-growing and more gung - ho to break up on Ron or blackmail Ludo Bagman to collect the money he owe them . On the other hand , George was ( slightly ) more reserved and calculated and provided a voice of reasonableness when Fred take things too far .
The Movies Giving Fred & George Shared Dialogue Didn’t Help
Fred & George’s Shared Lines Were Fun, But Only Harmed Their Characters
The independent cause that theHarry Pottermovies fail to communicate Fred and George ’s difference is that they were often given overlapping duologue . The Phelps brothers were give intimately all the same lines and had to either deport them simultaneously or volley the words back and off . Many of these sentences ( such as their instructions about the Marauders Map ) were so complicated that itgave the impression that Fred and George were sharing a judgment , and this made it seem even more like they lacked their own thoughts and personality .
I would love to see HBO ’s TV remaking take a different route , yield the new role player coming in to play Fred and George more of their own line and even some meter alone on screen .
esthetically , Fred and George ’s offbeat line delivery made their roles in theHarry Pottermovies all the more capricious , and it ’s now difficult to imagine them any other manner . However , with the trade - off being the characters ' individualism , it simply is n’t worth it . I would love to see HBO ’s TV remaking take a different route , impart the new actors coming in to play Fred and George more of their own lines and even some time alone on projection screen . After all , the Weasley twins ' fib do n’t end the same , and theHarry Pottermovies demonstrate thatif Fred and George ’s individuality is n’t respected , their item-by-item stories wo n’t land the same way .
Harry Potter is HBO’s remake of the iconic Wizarding World film series that consisted of eight films between 2001 and 2011. Each season adapts a book from JK Rowling’s popular series and provides more book-accurate details than the movies did.
Cutting Fred’s Death Scene Was One Of Deathly Hallows' Greater Crimes
The Harry Potter Movies Continued To Ignore The Weasley Twins' Individuality All The Way To Fred’s Death
Like many otherHarry Potterfans , I cried the punishing inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallowswhen Fred Weasley died . I never saw it get , and the fact that he died while laughing at his own jest made it all the more bitter . Add in Percy Weasley ’s screech of ruefulness , and it is still one of the most annihilating scenes I have ever study in YA lit . For this intellect , I was outraged to see that theDeathly Hallows Part 2movie stripped the scene forth . Instead , Fred ’s trunk was only shown in the Great Hall , and in hold open with the films ' traditions , it was n’t immediately clear whether it was Fred or George who had go bad .
By geld the actual shot in which Fred pass away , theHarry Pottermovies again ransack the twins ' of their individuality . Fred and Percy had been fighting side by side when the corridor out of the blue exploded , and this was meaning since their own family relationship was particularly litigious . As much as I personally dislike Percy , it was heartwarming to see them actually jest around together , and it felt like a monolithic footstep in Fred ’s personal arc since George was n’t even around as this happened . By cutting all this , theHarry Pottermovies again cheapened this version of the twins ' characters .
Season 1 of HBO’sHarry Potterremake is expected to set about cyclosis on Max in 2026 .
I Hope To See A More Book-Faithful Fred & George In HBO’s Harry Potter Remake
HBO’s Harry Potter Remake Has More Time To Explore Fred & George’s Individual Characters
As frustrated as I was to see thatHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2cut Fred ’s death panorama , I understood that such changes are ineluctable in moving-picture show adaptation . Sure , the film likely could have cut Harry and Voldemort inexplicably fly around the castling , but that still would have left very little time to give Fred ’s final moments the attention he deserved . Of of course , HBO ’s TV remake ofHarry Potterwon’t have this trouble , so there would be no excuse this time around . Fred ’s death scene absolutely must be include , and for it to be as impactful as it should be , the twins ' individualism must be a priority throughout the serial .
I would n’t mind run into Fred and George land up each other ’s sentences and mouth at the same prison term a time or two intheHarry Potterremake , but HBO ’s writers must still treat the duo as individual theatrical role . The television format imply that the Weasley Gemini the Twins ' individuation can be taken even further than in the books , with extra aid attract to the characteristic that make these two boys unequaled . Fred and George hold a particularly warm place in my substance , and this is precisely why I must see more book - close version of their characters in the come series .
