When it comes to the Marauder’s Map, there is one plot whole that many fans want to know about and Oliver Phelps has all the answers.

George Weasley himself, Oliver Phelps, won our hearts over in the Harry Potter series. We loved him as George and he broke our hearts when he was crying over James as Fred in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. 

And now, Oliver is back with more news. Well more importantly, he’s answering fan questions in a great way. In an interview with the Huffington Post, Oliver finally talked about how neither Fred nor George said anything about a Peter Pettigrew being in bed with Ron for those first three years of school.

"Maybe it’s a boo in the family that no one talks of. ‘Who’s this Peter bloke?,’” he said. “Maybe it was an unspoken word in the Weasley’s family."

If that’s the case, honestly good on the twins. They don’t question it, they just let Ron do what he wants and when he’s ready he’ll tell them. In reality it is probably just a plot whole that never got itself sorted out.

But that’s a nice way to think about it. And who knows, maybe the twins never looked for Ron and only used it for their own selfish adventures. But if they did see Peter and Ron together and let it be, then that makes them two amazing guys. Well, we already knew that. The twins are incredible!

So we may never know the answer to this plot hole. But it’s nice to think that what Oliver said is right. The twins just let it go and didn’t question Ron. After all, the Weasleys are nothing if not the most supportive family out there!
