Fred Weasley

Fred Weasley, also known as Rodent and Rapient, is a character from the Harry Potter series.
== Charactah Account ==
Fred is an English pure-blood wizard, the fourth son and the middle child the most daring and dominant among the twins of Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley, younger brother to Bill, Charlie and Percy, and older brother of Ron and Ginny Weasley, and older twin brother and best friend to George Weasley.
Fred Weasley was the more outgoing, daring, and sarcastic of the twins. During the rescue from the Dursleys in 1992, George picked the lock on Harry's bedroom door with a hairpin, while Fred insisted Muggle tricks were important to know, even if it was "a bit slow", and "accidentally dropped" a Ton-Tongue Toffee for Dudley Dursley to find and eat. Fred concocted the scheme of trying to fool Albus Dumbledore's Age Line to get into the Triwizard Tournament, though it was unsuccessful, and was in favour of blackmailing Ludo Bagman after he defaulted on a bet, while George had reservations.

== Trivia ==
* Fred is portrayed by British actor James Phelps in all eight Harry Potter film adaptations and so is one of the 14 characters to appear in all of the films.
* In the films, Fred and George are nearly always seen side-by-side. For the viewer to distinguish between Fred and George, actor James Phelps(Fred) is always placed on the left side of the screen and Oliver Phelps(George) is always placed on the right side of the screen, similar to how they are called "Fred and George".
* He and George may have been the basis for Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin from the shoujo manga, "Ouran High School Host Club". They are both a pair of red-haired, mischievous twins.
* Daniel Radcliffe plays Fred in the "Seven Potters" scene in his capacity as a decoy Harry.
* Fred's last words were: "You actually are joking, Perce — I don't think I've heard you joke since you were —"
* In the games, they used to own a shop in a deserted bathroom in Hogwarts, where they sold Wizard Cards, Chocolate Frogs, Cauldron Cakes and other magical items.
* Fred and George each earned fewer O.W.L.s than the rest of their brothers.
* Fred and George were the only sons of Arthur and Molly Weasley who did not become prefects during their education at Hogwarts.
* When Harry Potter and his friends lost 150 House points in 1992, he lost favour with the Gryffindor Quidditch team. While understandable, it seems odd that Fred and George turned on him.
* In the novels, the twins are described as being "shorter and stockier" and Percy and Ron as "long and lanky," but in the films, Fred and George are taller and leaner than both Percy and Ron.
* In her drawing of the Weasley family tree, J. K. Rowling put the year of Fred's death down as 1997. In canon, he actually died in May 1998.
* His name was Bellatrix Lestrange's last word, in the variation of "Freddie." In the last film this line was cut out and instead it is George who calls Fred "Freddie" when asking if he was ready for battle.
* Despite the fact that they only earned three O.W.L.s each, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Fred mentioned that he was transfiguring a raccoon in Transfiguration. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, George said that he might be able to sell a "few Extendable ears before Herbology" and Lee Jordan said that Fred and George played Exploding Snap during Defence Against the Dark Arts, and that they had an inspected Charms lesson.
* Fittingly, Fred and George are born on April Fools' Day.
* Fred and George might be named in honour of their mother's brothers Fabian and Gideon, as Fred and Fabian begin with the letter "F", and George and Gideon begin with the letter "G".
* The only times Fred or George have been injured were when they were apart. They were split up at the time of Fred's death and when George lost his ear.
* In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, it appears as though Fred is killed by a Death Eater as the last moment seen of Fred is him scrambling on the floor with a Death Eater standing over him just as both start to cast a spell. However, due to the brevity of the scene, it escapes most people that the twin in this scene is George, not Fred. The twin in this scene is wearing a purple jacket, which is what George wears during the Battle of Hogwarts; Fred's jacket is green. Furthermore, the ear is also a clue, as it is mangled and has no earlobe. Fred's death is not seen on-screen much to the dismay of fans. It is not on the DVD version, or in the deleted scenes.
* The only time Fred saw George as old men, was when they put their names into the Goblet of Fire.
* Oliver Phelps, who plays George, stated that it was quite upsetting for him to watch his real-life twin brother, James, act as if he were dead as Fred in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
* James Phelps admitted that when he was playing a dead Fred, he was actually asleep and the entire cast and crew went off to lunch without him, leaving him sleeping in the Great Hall set.
