![]() ![]() I am in no way saying here that twins can’t be mischievous or play tricks on people. However, it loses all those points for (SPOILER) the major tear-jerking element of Fred’s death not being that he was such an important character to the plot, but that he left George behind to grieve. I’ll admit that “Harry Potter” gets points for waiting until the very end of the story to pull this move. It seems to spread the message that twins are so similar that you really only ever need one. Just me? In all seriousness, this trope has always, always, been a red flag for me when a writer decides to tackle twin characters. I don’t know about you, but when I see siblings like my sister and I get permanently separated because they are ‘too similar’ I get a little uncomfortable. These two are the poster children for this trope. So what do I think of the portrayal of these twins now? Whether I was reading the books or watching the movies, I knew their appearances meant something exciting was about to happen. They were close, like my sister and I are, and they stole every scene they were in. ![]() When I first entered the Harry Potter fandom, I absolutely loved Fred and George. However, I will say that my love of these twins has also lessened over time. This post is not to go into that entire…mess. Who else could it be but Fred and George Weasley? Now I will preface this by saying that my once giant love for Harry Potter, and I do mean giant, has dwindled these last few months. The only way to follow up a post about the great Hikaru and Kaoru is to go back to the roots of red-haired mischievous twins.
