In the Harry Potter movies, Fred Weasley is portrayed by actor James Phelps. He has red hair, like the rest of the Weasley family, and has a mischievous twinkle in his eye. He is often seen wearing the Gryffindor school robes, which are black with a red lining, and the Weasley family sweater, which is also red. In the later movies, Fred has a more mature look, with longer hair and a more serious demeanor, reflecting the growing danger and darkness of the wizarding world.
