They got the roles of the same twin brothers, which they themselves were - the characters of George and Fred Weasley. It so happened that the characters of Joan Rowling grew up with the entire crew involved in the film adaptation of the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends. Each past year, James and Oliver Phelps grew up exactly one year, and their characters George and Fred by the name of Weasley did not lag behind the performers.
