James and Oliver Phelps are British identical twin actors. They played Ron’s older brothers, Fred and George Weasley who most of the time picks on him. They were known as the tricksters on the film but they’re actually quite nice in person. But now we know they’re not actually redheads. After the franchise, they continued they’re acting career and even gave to charities.

11. Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy)

Prior to his acting stint in the franchise, he had already been acting in commercials since he was 8 and movies since he was 10 so he was sort of a veteran amongst the cast. He played the loved to be hated villain in the franchise and continued to score other movie roles after it ended. He even released some of his original songs.

10. Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)rupert grint

Before being cast as Ron Weasley, this red head only acted in school plays and his local theater group. He was also active on both, on screen and on stage, even during the filming of the franchise and after it. That’s how much he loves acting. There’s definitely no downtime for this simple and easy going redhead.
