Harry Potter
In 2000, thanks to the efforts of his mother Susan Phelps, fourteen-year-old James Phelps, along with his brother Oliver, got on the Harry Potter project. First, the boys had to go to an audition in the city of Leeds, 200 miles from their home, to show what they are capable of. Then an invitation to participate in the filming came in the mail. They got the roles of the same twin brothers as they were themselves - the characters of George and Fred Weasley. It so happened that the characters of JK Rowling grew up along with the entire film crew involved in the film adaptation of the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends. James and Oliver Phelps grew up exactly one year every year, and their characters George and Fred, surnamed Weasley, kept up with the roles.
Oliver and James starred in all parts of the Harry Potter series, and in 2008 they were invited to the film "Peter Kingdom will never leave you." This series differed in the most radical way from the Harry Potter films, filmed in the fantasy genre. The plot about Peter Kingdom was much closer to real life.

External data of James Phelps correspond to the classic type of a Londoner-Englishman: a special reddishness, small freckles, light brown eyes. He is tall (1 m 95 cm), loves extravagance in clothes, wears bracelets, beads, chains, but James' "hippie" is notcall everything in moderation. The resemblance to Oliver is striking, but the twins can still be distinguished by several features. First of all, these are several large moles, Oliver's is on his neck, James's is on his face. The brothers have different smiles, Oliver smiles openly, James shyly. Recently, James's build has taken on the outlines of beginning fullness, while Oliver remains thin and fit.
