No stranger to Singapore

The twins, who were as bubbly and cheeky as their characters in the Harry Potter films, reminisced about their time acting in the popular series and shared their best spellcasting stances.

They also told us that this was their third time in Singapore.

In fact, they've been to Singapore with Mark Williams (their onscreen father from the films) for the travel series "Fantastic Friends".

The trio took part in local activities such as lion dancing and making teh tarik.

Fond of food in Singapore

And it seems like the local food has captured their heart.

Speaking to the media, the brothers said: "As soon as we got here yesterday [...] we needed to get some food because the food here is really good."

We heard that the brothers enjoyed the chicken satay and chilli crab in Singapore.

The Phelps twins also spoke fondly about the Potterheads in Singapore, expressing how welcomed they felt by the local fans.

"We know how big the fanbase is here [in Singapore] and everyone has been so welcoming to us," they said.

A trip down memory lane

Sharing their experience going through the exhibition, the Phelps twins noted that the Singapore installation is much larger than the European versions.

They were particularly impressed with the Singapore-exclusive Chamber of Secrets, geeking that it's a scene that they've "always wanted to be part of" as Fred and George Weasley.

"Obviously, Fred and George weren't in the Chamber of Secrets [in the film], but we were able to go in there today."

For the Phelps brothers, the experience evoked fond memories of their time filming the Harry Potter movies.

"It feels more like being a wizard here than it did on set," they joked.
