Fred Weasley and his twin George Weasley are two mischievous 'school clowns'. Even though they may spend the day planning out their jokeshop, they are extremely smart. As stated by Hermione in the HBP book, they are known to perform some extraordinary magic in their pranks. Both are experienced quidditch players and represent Gryffindor on their 'Cleansweep 5' broomsticks. They were so similar, that they even fooled their Mother at times. This was until George's ear was blasted off by Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. During the Hogwarts Battle, Fred was killed by a Death Eater. Later on, George married Angelina Jones and had a son whom he called Fred after his twin.
