James and Oliver Phelps send letters to new Weasley twins
James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the eight Harry Potter films, have written personal letters to their successors.
Tristan and Gabriel Harland will play the twins in HBO’s new Harry Potter series.
The Phelps brothers said they shared experiences from their years filming the movies and wished the new actors well.
Fred and George are popular characters known for their humour and courage, so the new actors face high expectations.
The gesture reflects support between the film and series casts, and the new adaptation can be enjoyed without comparing it with the movies.
The first two episodes are due on December 25 on HBO Max.

What people are saying
We sent each of them a personal letter, just to share a few experiences from over the years and wish them the best.
It was a very, very, very personal note, but it was mainly about wishing them great success in what they are doing, which other members of the film cast have also done, as far as I know.
