    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.

      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.

    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.

  • @gamingbeastlol
    @gamingbeastlol 2 роки тому +100

    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

  • @christinaheesakacowden-wut3809

    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. 😊

    • @BlueV205
      @BlueV205 2 роки тому +23

      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.

    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.

  • @jakeself1911
    @jakeself1911 Рік тому +8

    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.

  • @littlepixy2
    @littlepixy2 2 роки тому +14

    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

  • @kingdragoonmk10
    @kingdragoonmk10 Рік тому +3

    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 ^^

    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.
