Ron Weasley’s older brothers, Fred and George Weasley, are typically known by fans as the mischievous twin brothers defined by pranks, jokes, and light-hearted chaos. And while most of the time their behaviour consists of harmless troublemaking, there are actually a few moments throughout the series where Fred and George’s actions become far more questionable. There are three moments in particular that come to mind, only 1 of which made it in to the films. So if you’re a movie-only fan, then some of this is going to be eye opening for you.
