Oliver Phelps, who played George Weasley in the eight films, said their more than three hour event will kick off with a trivia quiz followed by live discussions and Q&A with the twins.

“We really enjoy the back and forth interaction with a live audience, just divulging stories from times we were on the films,” he said.

James Phelps, who played Fred Weasley, said on air he was hopeful COVID-19 restrictions would allow the pair to go ahead with the visit.

“(COVID-19 has) really got me itching to get the suitcase out and travelling again,” he said.

“Australia’s probably our favourite country to go to.”

The show commences at 6.30pm on November 4 at Hobart Convention Centre at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart.
