I think my favorites are the Canary Creams! Wouldn't it be fun to be at a party and have people munching, talking, laughing, etc and have someone next to you POOF and they're covered with feathers, then POOF and they're back to normal! LMBO!!!
DeSs
I love that shop! They're so clever, they didn't even need academic grades to make all of that, gosh!
My favourites and not:

None of the Skiving Snack Boxes, since I hate being sick and skipping lessons.

Quills: No need of a Self-spell checking nor a Smart-answer varieties, but it'd be good, if I use quills, to have a Self-inking!

Wonderwitch Products! Right for us, girls! No Love Potions ... interesting, but I'm not mean. I'd love some
Ten-Second Pimple Vanishers, though.

The Shield Products: no need of that if you're a good wizard or witch, I think.

Weasleys' Wildfire Whizbangs!!!! They rock!

The Trick Wands: funny, but for children tongue.gif They're very clever, though.

U-NO-POO: eewww, no way!

"Just jokes" I like: Reusable Hangman, Edible Dark Marks, Canary Cremes, Headless Hats,
Portable Swamp.

No need of Patented Daydream Charms, since I'm a daydreamer.

Dangerous or useless products: Punching Telescope, Muggle Magic Tricks (depsite they could be interesting for wizards), Joke Cauldrons, Ton-Tongue Toffees,

Extremely useful and great in periculous situations: Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder,
Decoy Detonators, Extendable Ears.

And I'd love to have a Pygmy Puffs! I've always wondered how exatly they look and where do they have a mouth and eyes and all; I've tried a few sketches, but ... I'm curious. And I've always wanted to have a Puffskein, depsite I wouldn't let him eating anybody's snots!

I have to say the Nosebleed Naught doesn't sound too bad. It's practical an sounds better than Puking Pastilles!!
The Happy Dementor
Hmmmm....I would have to say pygmy puffs too. I think they probably look like hedgehogs apart from they are pink and purple and their prickles are just fluffy hairs....hmmmm maybe they are not as teardrop shaped as hedghogs either....i don't really know thats just how I imagine them, rolling up and rolling round their little enclosure happy.gif sweet!

I could definatly make use of extendable ears and perhaps a decoy detonator...hehehe poisonouse duck! laugh.gif

i easily loved the catherine wheelsthe most and as quoted from the OotP.
"it seemed that one of the wheels had decided it needed a larger area to move around, it flew towards the entrance hall with a sinister wheeeeeeeeeeeeee filch and umbrige roared with fright and ducked down out of sight"

I love the skiving snackboxes, in particular nosebleed nougats. The Patented Daydreams sound good too. I absolutely love their line of Voldemort spoof stuff such as U-NO-POO and edible dark marks. Although I wouldn't say no to a pygmy puff and some Peruvian instant darkness powder.
acidpop
I was so excited when I read about the pygmy puffs! They are so adorable. I wanted one so bad. I thought the patented daydreams sounded A LOT better than skiving snack boxes. Either way you get out of paying attention, but with one you don't have to deal with the bodily fluids and all. Bleh. I also have a particular fondness for those invisibility hats.


I love the Weasley twins! :)

Hi everyone! So I just got permission from passerby (Janet) to talk about Fred and George also in this thread instead of just their fabulous products. Of course we can still talk about our favorite inventions from the Weasley Twins but seeing as the title says everything Fred and George, I thought we could actually discuss the twins.

So some questions...

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.

What is your favorite movie scene thus far (OOTP) with the twins?

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?

I don't really know if I have a favorite twin. I absolutely love them both.

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.

My favorite lines from the twins are in DH, Chapter twenty-two. Fred is talking on Potterwatch Page 443 and 444 in the US edition.

QUOTE
Things are bad enough without inventing stuff as well. For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That's a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that's glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it's safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that's still likely to be the last think you ever do.


QUOTE
And the rumors that he keeps being sighted abroad?" asked Lee.

"Well, who wouldn't want a nice little holiday after all the hard work he's been putting in?" asked Fred. "Point is, people, don't get lulled into a false sense of security, thinking he's out of the country. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, that the fact remains he can move faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo when he wants to, so don't count on him being a long way away if you're planning on taking risks."
laugh.gif

I always have to laugh out loud when I read that.

I also really love in DH how they both acted after George lost his ear. He took it so well. He didn't miss a beat and didn't let it get him down. All he did was say he was "holey" and said that at least now his mother would be able to tell them apart.

What is your favorite movie scene thus far (OOTP) with the twins?

That would have to be in GoF when McGonagall is teaching everyone to dance, and she told everyone to not behave like a 'babbling, bumbling band of baboons' or something like that. One of the twins told the other to say that five times fast, and they take it in turns to try it. laugh.gif

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?

No, I really wish she hadn't killed Fred!

So some questions...

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?
Nope. I can never tell them apart. Besides, they seem to have a need to bounce dialogue off one another.

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.
I don't have my book right in front of me but I think it is from OOTP when Percy was bragging about his ministry job and someone sent him Dragon dung as a fertilizer...Fred and George laugh and say they did it on purpose or something...it just makes me laugh

What is your favorite movie scene thus far (OOTP) with the twins?
My favorite is hands down the brooms disturbing the OWL testing in OOTP. I love the fireworks. The scene is great.

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?

As with most of the endings, I was not jumping for joy with the fate of Fred and George. I was appalled that Fred had to die. It seemed almost cruel to seperate one twin from the other. I suppose if she had to kill one of them off, in my opinion, maybe she should have done them both. I imagined somethink heroic like both of the twins, side-by-side, defending Ginny or someone else when they die together. I mean they were inseperable.

Does anyone think that it was impossible for the twins to be serious? I mean, even when they were businessmen and inventing incredible things, they seemed to have a cavalier attitude. U-know-Poo comes to mind instantly. I mean, how many people had the guts to taunt the Dark Lord openly and live?
acidpop
Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?
George. He almost always seems slightly more clever than Fred. I'm pretty sure George is just generally cooler. Even though it seems like the ladies are more into Fred.

Alright this isn't the best quote I know but this one has always been memorable to me. Just quite funny smile.gif

In DH George has just got his ear cut off. This goes from the bottom of page 74 to the top of page 75. Again, I know it's not the best but I really enjoy it. Plus this is the only good quote from them I remember. tongue.gif
QUOTE

"How do you feel, Georgie?" whispered Mrs. Weasley.
George's fingers groped for the side of his head.
"Saintlike," he murmured.
"What's wrong with him?" croaked Fred, looking terrified. "Is his mind affected"
"Saintlike," repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. "You see... I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?"
Mrs. Weasley sobbed harder than ever. Color flooded Fred's pale face.
"Pathetic," he told George. "Pathetic! With the whole wide world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?"
"Ah well," said George, grinning at his tear-soaked mother. "You'll be able to tell us apart now, anyway, Mum"

zwillo
I just thought of another of my favorite lines from the twins. I don't have my books with me right now as I'm at my mother's house, but it is in DH in the chapter The Seven Potters.

MadEye was discussing using the polyjuice potion and Harry said something like, "No way! You need me to cooperate. You need me to give you some hair."

And Fred said, "Well that's that plan scappered. Thirteen of us against one bloke that isn't allowed to use magic. We have no chance." laugh.gif

I think that's actually my favorite chapter in general. The twins especially always make me laugh in that one. laugh.gif

I really like the twins.....they are too funny! I am going to answer the last 4 questions I saw that need answering....

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?

I really don't have a favorite twin, even if I did I don't think I'd be able to tell them apart. LOL!

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.

"He's not Fred I am."
"Honestly woman you call yourself our mother."
"Sorry George."
"I'm only joking I am Fred."

First book thats all I know.

What is your favorite movie scene thus far (OOTP) with the twins?

The scene where they give Harry the Maurader's Map!

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?

Well I don't like the idea that one loses his ear by a curse and the other dies! But all in all, I guess it's not to bad of character endings.
DeSs
Wow, when I made my only post here, I hadn't read any further backwards, and I didn't realise it was their fan club!! sad.gif So, since I really like the twins and I've already posted, I ... am joining in! happy.gif

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?

No, I don't have one, because both are differet for me, and at the same time both are so likeable that you just can't choose!

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.

[Um... page too? wacko.gif ] "But we're not stupid - we know we are called Gred and Forge". I love that because it wasn't like that in the Spanish edition sad.gif [PS]

QUOTE

That one as well, when they drag Harry. And then when they say that of "Babbling, bumbling band of baboons". And also (just one more!), when they mimic Harry and Ron to ask them if they got a date. Well, every scene with the twins is awesome!

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?

Certainly not; I'm not happy will all the deaths, but on the other side, if she hadn't killed a few characters, it hadn't been realistic, it had been just a children book. But at least the twins were happy, and Fred died laughing (as sad as it sounds, sorry), and George lived for him too and was happy happy.gif
Aneekers
fred and George are awesome. i think all of thier products are cool. i think they are better because they don't go too far in thier pranks. poor Snape sad.gif
warhawk-09
Okay first of all I MUST just say how much I LOVE the Twins wub.gif . They are the best characters in the ENTIRE series and are WAYY better pranksters then James and Sirius tongue.gif . Also I am a little heart broken that no one has responded in this thread for a while now. Now for the questions:
Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?
Fred would have to be my favorite. He seems, well atles ast to me, to be in charge or atleast thats how I picture him in the story

philosiphers stone- "Don't worry Ginny, we'll send you a Hogwarts toliet seat" as they are be set off by their mother and little sister.

What is your favorite movie scene thus far (OOTP) with the twins?
hmm this is a hard one. I think the first movie when Harry just becomes seeker and they are just messing around with him saying how people sometimes disapear after matches.

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?
I hated it. I was in tears when I found out about Fred ! sad.gif Even thinking about it makes me so so sad. I don't know how its gonna be when the movie comes out. And the fact that George lost an ear. I mean I know some bad things had to happen but why to the twins they where the ones to always make everything better
bettygj
I personally LOVE all the Weasley Wizard Wheezes products
I just think it is hard to like one more but if I really had to choose it would either be the fireworks or the pigmy puffs biggrin.gif

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?
Fred because he just seems to be more included into the story than George. I like his name better.... I really don't know! they are both cute and hilarious!

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.
"Give her hell for us, Peeves." - The Order of the Phoenix (not sure what page, but it's when they leave with all the fireworks being set off, towards the end kind of and they are talking about Umbridge)

What is your favorite movie scene thus far (OOTP) with the twins?
The scene in the Prisoner of Azkaban where they ambush Harry and give him the Marauder's map

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?
NO! DEFINATELY NOT! I can't believe she made Fred ^^^ (trying not to spoil here, but if you read the last book, you should know!) and I guess I'm glad that George and Ron are left to run Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?

George is my favourite. I don't really know why he is, maybe it's because I like the name George a lot? I don't know, throughout the series, I always like George better than Fred.

CoS, page 210:
QUOTE
Fred and George, however, found all this to be very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through..."

Percy was deeply disapproving of this behavior.

"It is not a laughing matter," he said coldly.

"Oh get out of they way Percy," said Fred. "Harry's in a hurry."
"Yeah, he's off to the Chamber of Secrets for a cup of tea with his fanged servant," said George, chortling.


no matter how many times I read this book, I ALWAYS laugh at this part. No matter what (:

What is your favorite movie scene thus far (OOTP) with the twins?

Ohhh, this is a toughie. I don't really have a favourite since I haven't watched the 4th movie in a while, but I though they were both really funny in that one and the 5th.

How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?

I absolutly HATED it! I always loved any scene Fred and George were in because they gave the story humor. They did so much good, only to end up being seperated from each other. At leat Fred died with a smie on his face. I bet they'll but something like that on his grave stone. I wish both Crabbe and Goyle could've died so we could've kept Fred (:
warhawk-09
hmm I think it might be time for a new question

Do you think James and Oliver did a good job potraying the twins in the movie?
I personall think they did an AMAZING job. I can't thin of anyone doing a better job then they did smile.gif
I think that they fit the characters well in both personality && in looks

I can't wait to see what others think
xxkrakenslayerxx
Do you think James and Oliver did a good job potraying the twins in the movie?

I think they did brilliant! They were really able to capture the personalitites of Fred and George throughout all the movies so far. I personally think they are some of the best actors in the movies! They know how to really make you laugh without being too over the top, and they lok perfect for the role of the twins happy.gif

My favorite object was the nose-bleed nougat laugh.gif

James and Oliver are the best people for the job!!! happy.gif
Tonkzzz_777
Do you think James and Oliver did a good job potraying the twins in the movie?

Of course they did a good job portraying as the twins in the movie, beings they are twins in real life. Mind you in real life, there hair is brown....they have to dye it red for the movie. biggrin.gif

My favorite object is the black out smoke.
Harry.Potter.Geek
Do you think James and Oliver did a good job potraying the twins in the movie?
Yes, I think they did a great job in playing the twins! They were awesome and are exactly how I think Fred and George should be!
And yeah, I didn't know that they had just died it red until a couple days ago when I was looking at pictures of them for my signature thing and I didn't think it was them at first. haha!

Hello! *peeps in*

I don't have a favorite twin, they're equally my favorites! I can't help it, Gred and Forge wink.gif are just inextricably entwined in my head. It's hard to think about one without the other (which is why DH is so hard to read sad.gif ).

And I had no idea that James and Oliver had to dye their hair red! laugh.gif They look like they could be natural redheads, so that's pretty cool. biggrin.gif
bookworm_1918
How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?
No! No no no! What was with Fred dying? In my opinion, JKR was killing wayyy too many people in the end of DH (Tonks AND Lupin? sad.gif )

Do you think James and Oliver did a good job potraying the twins in the movie?
Yes, I think they did a very good job. They were very funny and also looked the part, as well. That's weird though, that they aren't natural redheads. I can't picture them as anything else!! smile.gif

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.

They had a lot of good lines, it's hard to pick a favorite. I have to admit I liked the 'Give her hell from us, Peeves' and there was one other line that comes to mind, I'm not sure who said it, but it was when Harry and Ron were in the kitchen cutting up sprouts (I think) with knives, and they come in and say 'Ah, Fred/George, bless them, they're using knives!'

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?
I can't pick a favorite because 1) they're both pretty cool tongue.gif and 2) their personalities are very similiar.
Ginevra Molly Weasley
How do you feel about the way JKR concluded Fred and George's characters in the HP series? Are you satisfied with the endings she gave them?
NO!! I was extremely depressed when Fred died. Oh my gosh... I almost cried. And I would have been much happier for George if he still had both ears. Why couldn't she have just left at least one of them in peace?

Do you think James and Oliver did a good job potraying the twins in the movie?
Yes, of course. They're funny and they look good as red heads. Of course, they don't look completely like JKR portrays them in the books, since in the books they are supposed to be shorter than Ron, but I can't imagine them any other way.

What is the best line the twins had in the series, in your opinion? Don't forget to tell us which book and page.
I think it was something along the lines of "Don't worry, Ginny. We'll send you a toilet seat."
That's from the first book, of course. I've just always found that funny, as well as classic Fred and George.

Do you have a favorite twin? Which one and why?
I really liked Fred. I always noticed that he spoke a lot more than George, giving them that subtle difference. I don't know... Maybe it's just that he says more and I'm more familiar to reading his name over and over again. Not to say that I don't completely adore George. He's almost there... He has maybe a thousandth of a unit to go until he ties with Fred.
