Name

Please cite proof that Fred's name is Frederik, or otherwise, change it back to simply Fred. Without citations, I could write that their middle names are Gideon and Fabian (which is also not a fact, despite what people assume) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 121.219.233.10 (talk) 07:43:04, August 2, 2007 (UTC)

I'm bad at this whole editing thing but there are major spoilers for the new book in this article.

(both born April 1, 1987)[1]

Can someone point out the authoritative reference that says that it is indeed 1987 and not 1978? --Mysidia 08:34, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually that date is incorrect. They both were born on April 1st, but if they where born in '87 that means that they 1 year and 5 months old when they started school. Now that is a long time to be held back in school. :) 1978 is most likely correct because that would make them 11 years old when they went into Hogwarts.

2 People

Shouldn't there be a pic of them from Order of the Phoenix? They look a little different. Dahopas 15:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldent there be different articles for each of the twins? They are different people Shadoom1

I'm with you on that one if you want two different articles though you should make one. The only big difference between fred and george are their ships and how they assert themselves tough,. is that difference really enough to give new article (70.245.221.70 22:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I disagree. They're pretty much exactly the same except Fred is apparently the leader and is more assertive than George... oh yeah, Fred is also dead now.

Dude now i think there should be to different boxes since their perosnalitys are so different and that they like different girls... but most expecially their differenent roles in DH. I think atleast fred deserves his own. Im not a memeber so i cant do it. SOme one should though. (69.155.119.220 17:26, 24 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I disagree. If you make two articles they would contain the same information, except that Fred's would include his death. There's no reason for two different articles, and if someone did separate them they would almost certainly be merged back by someone else. There's no point.

Am I allowed to post links on this page thing?

I don't know whether I'm allowed to post links on this page, so if I'm not, don't report me 'cos i never knew... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Georgewgirl (talk • contribs) 11:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Nope, sorry. See this page: WP:EL -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 11:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of the stunt men?

Why is there mention of the stunt men for the "old man" scene in Goblet of fire? Is this fact that noteworthy? Seems to be a bit of self promotion to me, particularly when it says he was in "Star Wars", but not mentioning that he played a non-speaking robot. Bytebear 20:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then delete it. Be bold and all that jazz. John Reaves 22:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red heads?

The article mentions that the actors for Fred and George had their hairs dyed for the role. However, I feel that most of the images provided in the article show them to still have rather blond hair. Am I growing colour-blind, or is the info provided rather misleading/inaccurate? Yengkit19 16:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'd say the pictures were poorly choosen. They look pretty redheads on PS/SS and PoA movies. But they really are bloond on GoF movie. User:Diana Prallon

Actually, in the movies, Fred and George were strawberry-blond. therefore, under light, their hair appeared blond, but otherwise red.72.65.43.98 18:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)aelita[reply]

Talking of appearance, what is the eye color of the twins? it could have blue like their father's, or is it brown, since they very much resemble ginny(vice versa) and their mother's?

Out of the Standart

The end of the article seems to be biased. Someone should edit it -- seems that whmoever wrote the page blames the Twins for every single product they sell. User:Diana Prallon

I don't know that it is bias, just a truth that there are hidden consquences to practical jokes, and there is a line between good fun and meanness. Plus, dismissing trouble by making a joke out of it doesn't work. Darkness powder is probably funny... but at some times it can be used as a weapon. Love potions are irresponsible. But shoving Montoque into the vanishing cabinet led directly the Battle of Hogwarts once Malfoy repaired the Hogwarts end, and led to the disfigurement of their brother and the death of Dumbledore. The Weasley twins are still young and while they have created some very good productions like clothing with shield charms, they have also been irresponsible in some ways. Jclinard 09:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The point remains that it's a debatable subject, and debatable subjects shouldn't be stated as truth. If it's an opinion it should be stated us such. You can't really blame them for shoving Montoque into the vanishing cabinet- it's not likely a huge battle was likely to ensue. Not to mention, that did not lead to the death of Dumbledore- he would have died anyway. He died at the hands of someone inside Hogwarts, not someone who came in via the cabinet. Not to mention, he'd organised it all anyway. LeahMaria 1:12, 7 August 2007 (EST)

"Harry Potter character"

it should say characters, since this is a page for two different people - either that, or there should be two different infoboxes, but that would be a bit redundant

i would try and fix this myself, except it seems every single page to do with harry potter has been protected from editing. wikipedia - the free encyclopedia anyone can edit! 87.244.67.193 19:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Typo: "protecting it from furthur harm." Misspelled 'further'

I'm not sure

but isn't there a Wikipedia policy on fictional characters that says that birth/death dates should not be at the top of te article? Faithlessthewonderboy 00:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For now, I'm going to delete the dates, but if I'm wrong feel free to add them back. Faithlessthewonderboy 00:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frederick?

I'm not sure of this which is why I haven't reverted it, but is Fred ever called Frederick? I can't remember him ever being called that, but I could be wrong. Faithlessthewonderboy 20:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Family Tree

The Family tree is wrong. It says Albus, James and Lily are the children of James and Lily Potter. I would try to change it myself but my account is only a day old and the page is semi-protected. LeahMaria 1:08, 7 August 2007 (EST)
