Fans go wild as Harry Potter's Weasley siblings James and Oliver Phelps and Bonnie Wright reunite

Three of Harry Potter’s Weasley siblings reunited over the weekend.

Oliver and James Phelps, 39, starred as the Weasley twins Fred and George in the franchise, along with sister Ginny, played by Bonnie Wright, 34.

And the trio enjoyed a ‘family’ meal together in the US city of Baltimore, with Oliver sharing a pic of the meet up on Instagram.

Harry Potter fans loved the pic, and left sweet comments on the photo.

“Aww this is such a lovely family photo,” one wrote. “I hope you have a great time with your little sis in Baltimore.”

Another added: “The best family dinner all together! I feel like I'm peeking into the lively Weasley family's dinner table.”

Others also asked in the comments where Ron - played by Rupert Grint - was.

“Soooo, did Ron take the photo or?” one fan jokingly asked.

In other Harry Potter news, Keira Knightley recently said she “was not aware” of calls to boycott the franchise over trans issues before signing on to star in a new audiobook series based on JK Rowling’s beloved novels.

The Oscar-nominated actress, 40, is among more than 200 performers lending their voices to Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions, a new Amazon Audible project that promises to “reignite the magic” for long-time fans and attract a new generation of listeners.

The upcoming audiobook series will feature an array of big names, including Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington as Professor Lockhart, The Affair’s Ruth Wilson as Bellatrix Lestrange, and One Day star Leo Woodall as Bill Weasley.

However, Knightley has since spoken after learning about the backlash directed at the franchise’s creator.

Speaking to entertainment site Decider about whether she knew of the boycott before accepting the role, Kiera said: “I was not aware of that, no – I’m very sorry.”

The Pride & Prejudice star, who will voice Hogwarts’ notoriously cruel teacher Dolores Umbridge, added: “I think we’re all living in a period of time right now where we’re all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren’t we?

“And we’ve all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect.”

Her comments come amid renewed tensions between JK Rowling and the Harry Potter cast.

The author, 60, recently accused Emma Watson of helping to “trash women’s rights” by publicly disagreeing with her views on gender identity.
