Harry Potter Twins Surprise on The Traitors

The Traitors has introduced a magical twist with the casting of James and Oliver Phelps, the actors behind Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter film franchise, as its new Castle Keepers. These familiar faces are responsible for preparing missions and incorporating mischievous twists for the contestants. However, unlike their celebrity counterparts in the U.S. version, the participants on this season are unaware that the twins are involved.

The Phelps twins expressed their enjoyment of the role, citing their love for the outdoors and their fondness for Scotland as reasons for accepting the position. They described their experience as a "fun gig," which involved actively hiding from the contestants. Reflecting on whether they would ever compete on the show, Oliver suggested he might fare better as a Traitor, while James confessed to being ill-suited for such a role due to his discomfort with direct confrontation and delivering bad news.
