Did anyone notice Fred talked a lot more than George Weasley?
JK said in an interview that George was always the ring leader and that she couldn’t kill George, because Fred wouldn’t cope as well without George as George could cope without Fred. Actually I think I got that wrong. Looks like she’s saying Fred is the ringleader and George is the vulnerable one. Here’s the quote: J.K. Rowling: Well, I don’t know why because I always knew it was going to be Fred. I suppose looking back from it, I think that most people would have expected it to be George I think. Because that’s the ringleader. He’s always been the instigator. He’s slightly harder than George. George is slightly gentler. Fred is normally the funnier but also the crueler of the two. So they might have thought that George would be the more vulnerable one and, therefore, the one to die.
