Oliver Phelps

Oliver Phelps is one of those actors where you can't fully separate the person from the role — and honestly, I don't think you'd want to. He and his twin brother James were cast as Fred and George Weasley in Harry Potter back in 2001 when they were teenagers with zero professional acting experience, and they absolutely nailed the most beloved comic duo in the entire series. What gets me is that Oliver brought genuine warmth to George, not just pratfalls — you actually felt the weight of that twin bond on screen. Since the franchise wrapped in 2011, he and James have leaned into their real-life partnership through their podcast HP Film Club, which feels so perfectly on-brand for two guys who were inseparable both on and off camera for a decade. At 6'3" and clearly at ease with who he is, Oliver's carved out a niche as a genuinely likable presence in a franchise that defined a generation.
