James and Oliver Phelps, better known as Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, are scheduled to appear at the region's famous Kryal Castle in October for a Wizard Activity Day.

The appearance is part of a nation wide tour which will see the real-life brothers conduct question and answers shows and host events surrounding Harry Potter trivia.

The twins played large roles in all eight of the Harry Potter films, portraying the older siblings of Harry Potter's best friend, Ron Weasley.

Kryal Castle general manager Melissa Dimond said she is tremendously excited about the event after the difficulties the COVID-19 pandemic has caused for the attraction.

"We're obviously in some interesting times, but we thought we might as well just forge ahead in the hope we're allowed to hold something like this," she said.

"Holding an event like this would give us a great sense of moving forward. It gives us and the general public something to look forward to."

She added the castle is the perfect location for the Phelps brothers, who were known for causing mischief behind the Hogwarts castle walls.

"Kryal Castle is the perfect fit for the Weasley twins," she laughed.

What Harry Potter fan wouldn't want to be a part of this, it's the perfect setting to see the twins and we're tremendously excited about it."

The activity day is set for October 11, however the date is subject to change depending on COVID-19 restrictions.
