The Magical Trio Gathers for a Special "Family Dinner" in Charm City

It's not every day you get to see some of your favorite on-screen siblings back together again, but that's exactly what happened this past weekend! Oliver Phelps, who famously played the mischievous George Weasley, delighted fans by sharing a photo on Instagram featuring himself, his twin brother James Phelps (our beloved Fred Weasley), and Bonnie Wright (the iconic Ginny Weasley). The caption was simple yet incredibly sweet: "Family dinner in Baltimore."
This heartwarming get-together took place on Sunday, October 19, 2025, in Baltimore, Maryland, sparking a wave of joy across the internet. For many, seeing the trio together felt like peeking into an actual Weasley family gathering, minus the chaos of the Burrow (and perhaps a few more siblings). It’s a wonderful reminder that while the last Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, premiered way back in 2011, the bonds forged on set are clearly still as strong as a Fidelius Charm. That's nearly 15 years since we last saw them all together on the big screen!
Oliver and James, now 39, and Bonnie, 34, looked to be in great spirits, smiling for the camera with city lights twinkling in the background. Bonnie and James even reposted the snap on their Instagram Stories, adding to the collective fan excitement. It really makes you wonder what magical memories they were reminiscing about over dinner!
Fans Are Absolutely Bewitched by This Weasley Family Moment

Unsurprisingly, the internet went absolutely wild for this reunion. Oliver’s Instagram post was flooded with comments from ecstatic fans who couldn't get enough of the Weasley family feels. Many expressed their pure delight, with one fan exclaiming, "Aww this is such a lovely family photo. I hope you have a great time with your little sis in Baltimore." Another fan perfectly captured the sentiment, writing, "The best family dinner all together! I feel like I am peeking into the lively Weasley family's dinner table!"
Of course, no Weasley reunion is complete without a bit of playful teasing. Several fans couldn't help but jokingly ask about the conspicuous absence of the family's youngest son, Ron. "Soooo, did Ron take the photo or?" one fan quipped, echoing the thoughts of many who missed seeing Rupert Grint in the picture. While it was an intimate reunion for these three siblings, their on-screen parents, Molly (Julie Walters) and Arthur (Mark Williams), along with brothers Bill (Domhnall Gleeson), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Percy (Chris Rankin), weren't present for this particular dinner. And as for Charlie Weasley, he only ever made it into the books, not the films.
This isn't the first time some of the original cast members have reunited in front of fans. Just a few months prior, in February 2025, the trio (and more!) appeared together onstage at MegaCon in Orlando, proving that the magic of their shared experience continues to bring them together and connect with their dedicated fanbase.
A New Generation of Weasleys is Coming to the Wizarding World

While we're all cherishing these moments with the original cast, the Wizarding World is also looking forward to a new chapter. The reunion of Oliver, James, and Bonnie comes a few months after HBO Max stirred up a fresh wave of excitement by revealing the actors set to portray the iconic Weasley family in its forthcoming Harry Potter series. Imagine the pressure and honor these new actors must feel stepping into such beloved roles!
Back in August, HBO Max took to Instagram to share the news with a selfie of the new cast, declaring, "The Burrow is nearly full!" They warmly welcomed a new cohort of talent ready to bring the Weasley clan to life for a new generation. Here's who we know so far will be joining the Weasley family on the small screen:
- Ron Weasley: Alastair Stout (previously announced)
- Fred Weasley: Tristan Harland
- George Weasley: Gabriel Harland
- Percy Weasley: Ruari Spooner
- Ginny Weasley: Gracie Cochrane
The streamer also teased that the actor playing Charlie Weasley will be "joining us soon enough," and the role of the eldest Weasley sibling, Bill, is still yet to be announced. It’s definitely an exciting time to be a Harry Potter fan, watching as the universe expands and new talents prepare to embody characters we’ve loved for decades.
What the Original Weasley Actors Are Conjuring Up Now
So, what have our original Fred, George, and Ginny been up to since hanging up their wands? You'll be happy to know they're still very much immersed in the magic!
The Phelps twins, Oliver and James, have channeled their on-screen chemistry and love for the Wizarding World into a unique project: they host the baking competition show, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking. How cool is that? Fans can catch their wizarding culinary adventures with the second season airing on November 2 on both Food Network and HBO Max. It’s a delightful way for them to stay connected to the franchise and for us to see them together again!
Bonnie Wright has also been involved with the show, previously serving as a guest judge during the first season. Beyond that, she's been a thoughtful voice for the franchise, especially when it comes to the new actors. In a May interview with People, she offered some truly valuable advice to the next batch of performers:
"I think every actor stepping into all the roles, I hope, really go from the book and they take their interpretation of the characters from the book as the original source of material. And I just hope that they do what they wanna do and they make their character who they envision Ginny to be. That other people can give her character and all the others new life. So I don't think I would… I guess the only thing I would say is like, be present in the moment. Enjoy every minute of it, would be the only thing I would say."
Such wise words, truly embodying the spirit of growth and respect for the source material. Off-screen, Bonnie has embraced motherhood, having welcomed her son, Elio, with husband Andrew Lococo in 2023. She's even found parenting inspiration from her on-screen family! Speaking at an event, Bonnie shared how she needs to parent "more like the Weasleys," admiring their unconditional love, authenticity, and how they don't care about others' judgment. She particularly cherishes the sweet, loving relationship between Molly and Arthur, seeing them as a couple who "figured it out." It just goes to show how deeply the Weasley family values resonate, even in real life.
The Wider Wizarding World: New Audiobooks & Ongoing Discussions
The Harry Potter universe continues to evolve, not just with new TV series but also with other exciting projects. Fans can look forward to Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions, a new Amazon Audible project that promises to "reignite the magic" with an array of big names lending their voices to the beloved novels.
This impressive cast includes:
- Albus Dumbledore: Hugh Laurie
- Lord Voldemort: Matthew Macfadyen (of Succession fame)
- Professor Lockhart: Kit Harington (our very own Jon Snow from Game of Thrones)
- Bellatrix Lestrange: Ruth Wilson (from The Affair)
- Bill Weasley: Leo Woodall (star of One Day)
- Dolores Umbridge: Keira Knightley
Interestingly, Keira Knightley, who will voice the notoriously cruel Dolores Umbridge, recently commented on the ongoing discussions surrounding the franchise's creator, J.K. Rowling. When asked if she was aware of calls to boycott the franchise due to Rowling's controversial views on gender identity, Knightley stated, "I was not aware of that, no — I’m very sorry." She added a hopeful note for coexistence, saying, "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." This highlights the complex landscape of the Wizarding World today, with new content continuing to emerge amidst broader societal conversations.
Despite these ongoing discussions, the spirit of the Harry Potter stories, especially the heartwarming family dynamics of the Weasleys, continues to capture the hearts of fans worldwide. And seeing the original actors reunite just proves that the magic truly lives on.
