James Phelps

James Phelps is a young British actor, in whose cinematic biography there is only one notable chapter, but what is the role of Fred Weasley in the endless series of Harry Potter films.

According to British tradition, Phelps has a complex name - James Andrew Eric, including the names of his grandfather and uncle. James was born in Sutton Caulfield, near Birmingham, in 1986. The guy has a brother, Oliver, who is 13 minutes younger than him. The brothers are so similar that they are not mistaken in who is who, only their mother Susan.

The twins graduated from Little Sutton High School and Arthur Terry School. Like all children of that time, they read books about Harry Potter. The mother was the first to know about the casting for the adaptation of the stories and, despite the great distance, took the children to the audition.

As their father Martin later said, the boys were initially embarrassed by the number of people who wanted to star in the film, but they coped with the excitement. So Oliver and James Phelps after six castings got the roles of George and Fred Weasley.

Classmates did not believe that the brothers would star in Harry Potter. It was only when the boys came to school with their hair dyed red that doubts were dispelled among the skeptics.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was the first Harry Potter movie with James. His character Fred is one of the children in the Weasley family with many children, a cheerful bully and a student of the Gryffindor faculty. The film marked the beginning of a kind of world epidemic among fans of the novel about the little wizard, and made it to the top box office list.

The sequel - "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", in which almost all the cast from the first part, including James and his brother, took part, was also expecting no less success. Further, in accordance with the producer's ideas, Phelps appeared on the set in six more films based on J.K. Rowling's novels.

The actor himself from this filmography likes Goblet of Fire, and his favorite character is Voldemort. James wanted to take a magic wand from the props, but it became an obligatory attribute of the advertising tour. So Phelps took the Gringotts bank notes as a keepsake.

By the way, the brothers did not pass by the passion of all twins to replace each other, although James admitted that they avoided doing this in life. But Oliver wanted to play the role of Fred, and on the set the guys changed. However, the substitution was soon discovered. Despite the striking similarities between the Phelps, the directors thought it good to reshoot the scenes in which the jokers switched roles.

James talked emotionally about filming the episodes of his character's death, comparing them to filming in an action movie, but not in fantasy. The actor did not experience difficulties, to a greater extent he worried about Oliver, since he was to survive the death of his brother.

2009 saw a change of scenery. Then James appeared as Callum Anderson in the third season of the British television series Peter Kingdom Won't Leave You. This is the story of a former lawyer living in a small town. The hero decides to get down to business again after the disappearance of his brother. Young Karl Davis is providing some assistance to the lawyer. Karl has two twin brothers, the roles of which went, of course, to James and Oliver Phelps.

The actor managed to change his image in a horror film called "District 3". The Briton reincarnated as Jimmy's nurse, who works in a children's hospital. His colleague accidentally kills the boy, and the child's ghost haunts and drives the woman crazy. This film is a rare occasion that James went on set without his brother.

Another tape with the participation of Phelps was the drama "Danny and the Human Zoo". James also starred as Guildenstern in the film adaptation of William Shakespeare's immortal tragedy "Hamlet". A small role went to the British actor in the American-Canadian comedy horror film "Patchwork".

In addition, on account of James short films A Mind's Eye, "Hogwarts Express" with the participation of Ralph Fiennes, the series "Dawn" and "The Silent Witness".

Besides acting, James is attracted to sports, playstation and rock music. The brothers prefer golf and football, and they root for different teams and often argue which one is better. The guys got a passion for aristocratic play back in the days of "Harry Potter", when young actors were banned from sports in which injuries could be caused. In this lesson, James Phelps was very successful, besides, the tall height of 191 cm only helps now.

Phelps shared his musical preferences on Instagram, collecting a collage of album covers of his favorite bands, and posts photos from festivals and concerts there. James also plays the guitar. In an interview, the Potterian hero says that he chooses fish, sweet desserts and chips from the dishes, he loves dogs and horses, his clothes are blue.

About the lady of the heart of James Phelps, it is only known that her name is Annika Ostl, and they got married in 2016. With the name of the actor's wife, not everything is clear - in some sources, the version of Amelia Charlotte Diego appears.

The lack of details about the actor's family is due not only to the coldness inherent in the British. According to rumors, the contracts that the brothers have entered into with various firms directly include restrictions on publications about privacy, although the announcement of the wedding Phelps made on the radio. James, unlike Oliver, has not yet acquired children.

The actor dreams of playing the character of a Bond villain, or at least playing James Bond himself.

James is still simple and pleasant to talk to, active and cheerful. Fans of the young sorcerer franchise have created hundreds of fan communities around the world. James does not refuse to participate in various thematic events. For example, the actor spent the summer of 2017 on a trip to Southeast Asia, visited the Harry Potter Exhibition in Madrid, the Steel City Comic Con 2017. In addition, together with Oliver, he started a YouTube channel.
