No one could predict the fate of the mischievous and marvelous Weasley Twins. Not even Mrs. Weasley, who, when faced with her worst dreams made manifest by the Boggart, saw Fred and George in death together.
Their final moments together made readers and viewers alike appreciate the joyous energy and hectic chaos they brought in their wake. For many, the twins were character favorites and seeing them come out the other side broken was harrowing. So in their tribute, artists turned to art to show just how much they love Fred and George.
The Marauder's Map

Fred and George found The Marauder's Map in their first year at Hogwarts. They found it in a way fitting to its inventors, by dropping a Dungbomb as a diversion and opening a drawer in Filch's office named "Confiscated And Highly Dangerous."
Without Fred and George, Harry might never have come across the map, making his ventures from Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban onwards nearly impossible. Many fans joke about Fred's reaction to finding out who the Marauders were after he died, as Harry never told Fred and George about the map's makers.
Poppies For Sleep & Success

This artist has done their research on the language of flowers to create a beautiful tribute. The fan art features Fred and George, identical in pretty much every physical aspect, from their hair to their clothes, except the ring of poppies on their heads.
Fred's poppies are red, the color of war remembrance. George's poppies are yellow, the color of wealth and success.

Fred and George found their niche in the Weasley family as the mischief-makers, the rebels, and the jokers. They are the only set of twins in the family and their bond is irreplaceable. They had the nerve to pull off ridiculous stunts and their love for pranks made them the only wizards Peeves The Poltergeist actually took orders from.
They became entrepreneurs and paved their own pathway to success, leaving Hogwarts to open their joke shop with the help of Harry's Triwizard Tournament winnings.
And Grabbed - THIS

The Weasley twins are always getting into trouble and always running away or towards the chaos that is about to ensue. They were an influence on Ginny Weasley, showing her that just about anything is possible. They stole their father's flying car with Ron and went to save Harry from his caged room.
They switched names any time the opportunity presented itself. They bewitched snowballs to hit the back of Quirrell's head, unknowingly hitting Voldemort in the face over and over. They tried to trick Dumbledore's aging spell to enter The Triwizard Tournament and failed. The Wizarding World wouldn't be the same without the dynamic duo's hijinks.
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes
Harry gave Fred and George his Triwizard winnings against their insistence that he keep it. “Listen, if you don’t take it, I’m throwing it down the drain. I don’t want it and I don’t need it. But I could do with a few laughs. We could all do with a few laughs. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to need them more than usual before long.”
How could the twins refuse? If they didn't take it, Harry would keep his promise to hex them.
Mischief Managed

Fred and George broke readers and audience members' hearts alike as they battled against The Dark Arts. They might have been the Weasley twins, but they were brothers to all who came to love their energetic and contagious spirit.
This gorgeously colorful and delicate piece of fan art has translated their differences and their similarities. George lost his ear, a bandage wrapped around his head, and Fred lost his life, seemingly unharmed, yet gone with a smile on his face.

This incredible piece of fan art was made using various hard and soft pencils, fine liner, white gel pen, a blending stick, and good old paper. The depth and detail achieved with such simple materials do justice to the character and the actor who brought Fred Weasley to life.
Some might argue that the physical description of the twins in the movie is different from that of the books, that so many storyline and character details were lost to the big screen. The Weasley twins from the films might not be the right stature, but they were certainly an embodiment of Fred and George that many fans came to know and love.
Into The Glorius Sunset

Fred and George's exit from Hogwarts was one of their most memorable and epic moments. In fact, the entire year Umbridge was in control of Hogwarts, Fred and George were experimenting with their products and helping students get out of class with their Skiving Snackboxes, even though the side effects were unknown.
They did their time and set off a crate of fireworks in the Great Hall as their farewell prank, as well as an indoor swamp.
Are You Okay Freddie?

Art can be as heartbreaking as it can be loveable and sometimes the heartache contributes to its beauty. To George Weasley, every mirror is The Mirror Of Erised. Every time he sees himself, he sees one ear shy of his brother. This piece of fan art shows George in darker shades while Fred is illuminated in gold, his red hair glowing.
There is a question on the mirror - it asks "are you okay Freddie?" Whether Fred is actually there but George can't see him, or whether George is imagining his brother beside him, either way, it only adds to the woe.
Time Runs Out

In Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, Umbridge gave Harry, Fred, and George a lifetime ban on playing Quidditch after a fight broke out at the end of a Slytherin versus Gryffindor Quidditch match.
Fred and George were there for Harry from his very first game, and they backed him in their very last game with him. Of course, Umbridge's ban didn't stop them from flying the Hogwart castle halls on their brooms and leaving school.
