James Phelps is a British actor, born on February 25, 1986 in the suburbs of Birgingham. The full name of the actor is James Andrew Eric Phelps, and he is the twin brother of actor Oliver Phelps.
From a young age, the brothers showed great interest in stage play, and their parents sent them to the theater studio, where they learned all the basics of the acting craft, and also took an active part in school productions.
When James was fourteen years old, he and his brother were casting for the film Harry Potter. The Philosopher's Stone. After successfully auditioning, James, along with Oliver, were approved for the role of Fred and George Weasley.
James in his interviews often recalled that their mother was the first to learn about the casting and audition for the Harry Potter film, it was she who took the initiative to take her sons to the casting, and then always supported her children in everything.
To date, six Harry Potter films have been released, and in each series, the Phelps twins perfectly play their roles.
In many ways, the stage characters of the Phelps brothers - George and Fred Weasley are very similar in character to twins - James and Oliver: in school years, they also loved to prank teachers, often replacing each other in classes, fighting and cheering classmates.
James Phelps, like his twin brother Oliver, became friends with many of the actors who starred in the film.
The warmest relations developed with Devon Murray, who played the role of Seamus Finigan, as well as with Matthew Lewis, who pleased the audience with an impeccable game as Neville Longpoops.
In 2004, James graduated from the school where Oliver also studied, although the brothers studied in different classes.
James fills his free time with sports, meetings with friends, loves computer games. /
