Harry Potter twins James and Oliver Phelps attend Heroes Dutch Comic Con exclusive Preview Night.
James and Oliver Phelps, known for their roles as Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter film series, are coming to Heroes Dutch Comic Con! The twins will attend as special guests during the event’s exclusive preview night, which takes place on Friday night (21 June). A unique experience will be organised especially for a select group of Heroes Dutch Comic Con fans on this extra night. Visitors can have their picture taken with James and Oliver Phelps, have their merchandise signed or ask them questions during the panel on the Main Stage.
James and Oliver Phelps became world-famous overnight with their roles as the Weasley twins in the immensely popular Harry Potter film series. For ten years, the actors starred as Fred and George Weasley in all eight films. Since then, the duo has mainly kept themselves busy by producing their Normal Not Normal podcast, in which the two talk to friends who also started acting at a young age. They also developed Fantastic Friends, a docuseries in which the twins discover a different part of the world each episode with a special guest. The second season premiered last year on HBO Max.

Wouter de Jong, Dylan Haegens and Marit Haegens-Brugman will not only share what it takes to bring a film to life, but they will also answer questions from fans and preview exclusive first footage. The film, for which several scenes were shot during the last winter edition of Heroes Dutch Comic Con, will be released in cinemas on 10 July. Make sure to attend the panel and receive a signed poster as a gift.
But there is also plenty to enjoy for comic book and gaming fans! On the main stage, Joanne Starer presents her book, Total Suplex of the Heart, to the world for the first time.
