James and Oliver Phelps talk “Deathly Hallows – Part 2” with “Empire”

by Keith Hawk · Published May 27, 2011 · Updated January 19, 2017

Continuing with the releases of the recent Empire Magazine interviews, James and Oliver Phelps share their views on the upcoming finale of the series.

When asked in the interview about the switch from the comic side of the Weasley twins to the serious tones of the final battle, James Phelps says:

“It was kind of easy: because we’ve played the characters for so long, we see them as more than the one-liners. So it was great fun playing the same characters with that comedy element but a serious side because they become entrepreneurs and this, that and the other. It’s nice to try and get that across.”

Oliver followed in his interview with this:

“Well yes, in the final installment there are not a lot of laughs from Fred and George at all. Actually, the re-shoot scene that we did was, I think, the first time you see them scared. It’s great to be able to play the same character but show a totally different side, one that the audience haven’t seen before, or even something that they hadn’t been expecting.”
