Why they might be annoying:

    They admitted that their main reason for auditioning for Harry Potter was to get a day off from school.
    They are not actually redheads. ('We'll be brown again when we get clearance from the studio.')
    They have a reputation as pranksters, including frequently taking each others' place.
    Oliver accidentally cracked director Mike Newell's ribs while Newell was demonstrating how he wanted the twins to fight in a scene.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They participated in the Virgin Money Giving charity drive.
    James has also worked as a runner on the Harry Potter films and said, 'I learned probably more in my first month doing that about the film industry than I did in my five or six years previous of acting.'
    They also cut down on on-set pranks following the experience, with James noting 'You realize people have been there a long time before you got there.'
