Fred and George Weasley play pretty sizable roles in the Harry Potter series. They are known for their humor and practical jokes, which have made them some of the most popular characters in the series. Can you tell Fred and George apart? Take our quiz and find out if you can really tell them apart. Instead of using photographs, we decided to ask specific questions from both the movies and books. This will include challenging ones that only big fans would know.
Instructions: We will give you a question and you have to answer if it belongs to either Fred or George Weasley. For example, we would ask “which of them died in the Battle of Hogwarts?”. You would select Fred Weasley (still update about this by the way).
