We hope that you have had a wonderful April Fool’s Day! We know for certain that a pair of Weasley’s would have taken full advantage of the day.

Fred and George Weasley were two of the greatest pranksters of all time in the Wizarding World. Whether it was sneaking around Hogwarts with the Marauder’s Map, assisting Peeves in terrorizing Umbridge and Filch, or trying to trick their way into the Triwizard Tournament, the twins were always full of mischief and entertainment.

Their fun and games, jokes and tricks were clever and mostly harmless. Even in the darkest time, during Voldemort’s reign, the twins had much success with their inventions of tricker. The two opened their own joke shop, Weasley Wizard Wheezes, in Diagon Alley. The shop is still successful in the Wizarding World, even today.

In honor of Fred and George on their special day, and their day of trickery, Pottermore released this chart (click to enlarge).
