Actors James and Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley) will have small roles in the third season of ITV1's
Kingdom, which stars UK
Harry Potter audio book narrator Stephen Fry. The twins will play brothers - Callum (James) and Finlay (Oliver) Anderson - of Lyle, Peter Kingdom's (Stephen) junior attorney.
The programme centers around a law firm in the fictional small northern England town of Market Shipborough, and the many locals they have befriended over the years. Stephen plays Peter Kingdom, a solicitor in town; Karl Davies plays his apprentice Lyle.
An article was
released late last year about filming for the third season of the programme, which mentioned James and Oliver's roles:
Quote:
In scenes shot on Tuesday, Pippa Haywood plays Lyle's mum and Oliver and James Phelps, best known as the mischievous Weasley twins in the Harry Potter films, are his twin brothers and involved in a cheeky sequence with Karl Davies in the alleyway.
We have just received word from SS reader
MeredithRodneyMcKay, who confirmed that the twins' episode will be the fifth of the series (which started airing on ITV this past Sunday).
It will air approximately on July 5, 2009 at 9pm BST, according to the What's on TV guide. We will have more on this when the show airs, so stay tuned.
UPDATE: Sarah has sent a
photo of the twins on the show, which was featured in the latest issue of TV Guide in the UK:
