Fred and George also play as beaters on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. To escape out of Dolores Umbridge's dictadure, George and he cause the chaos and disorder in Hogwarts and fly on their broomsticks. Though he is a prankster, he is a family man at heart, and a prominent member of the Order of the Phoenix.
