Normal Not Normal is a Stabl production. Produced by Alice Homewood. Music: 'Not Normal' by Sebastian Forslund
James and Oliver Phelps (aka Fred and George Weasley) talk to a star-studded selection of friends, colleagues and personal heroes who stepped into the limelight at a young age, and find out what “normal” means to them. As identical twins who grew up on the Harry Potter film set as Fred and George Weasley, you could never say that the pair had a “normal” start to life. But recently, they’ve been thinking: what does “normal” mean anyway? Ready your ears for behind-the-scenes Potter revelations; outrageous rants; frank conversations about mental health; and even the odd, ‘did-you-know?’

I like how 'big brother' Oliver taught pronunciation to little James
i love how their lighting is so different oliver's so bright and on his face yellow and james' is bluish and subtle 😭
Oliver and James, thank you so much for choosing Rachel'story. It's sad but it made us share so many emotions and feel so much love. It was really a good idea to choose this story.
Happy Birthday to our favourite Weasley!!!🥳
Oh nooo!! What am I gonna do without NNN now! Sorry for being unreasonable but I don't want this season to end! 🥺😭💔💔
Rachel's story gave me some much needed comfort... I lost my dad to heart disease 10 years ago, I was 13! Long before I was even properly introduced to James & Oliver... And at times, I felt hopeless, lost, scared and pretty much that nothing's good left on this world anymore... But like Rachel said so beautifully, grieve is a special thing... It helps you to remember that the love you had for your loved one and will always have... Being a potterhead, I would quote - "the ones that love us never really leave us .. you can always find them in here ❤️" So yes, there's still not a day where I don't miss my baba but I have managed to cope with time... He'll forever be alive inside me... ❤️ James & Oliver is a gift in my life to the truest sense and this podcast helped me in ways that I never expected it to be... So thank you guys for being the light in my life since past 3 years... You really shaped me for better & made this world a little less lonely! 💗

I can relate to Rachel history , because I also lost my dad from cancer in 2018, I was 20 and i was suffering from anxiety and I had panic attacks, because of that situation. With the passing of the years, until now is really hard understand why that happened. Thank u guys because this podcast help me a lot to find that comfort place every weekend 🤍🤍🥺 . I learned a lot and also practice my english haha, thank you again Ollie and James ❤️❤️

Belated birthday wishes to both of you. You do such a fantastic job on these programmes. It’s such a privilege to join you and enjoy your reminiscences on HP and other topics. Please keep up the good work.
This brought me a lot of comfort. I've been abused by my dad and my mum never really dared to defend us because he was very agressive. She divorced him but I was only 10 so I still had to go to my father since "we had no proof". He met my stepmother and then we didn't matter at all anymore. She too started hitting us and my mum couldn't do anything because we has no psyical proof. Until I was 14 he pushed me against the door and my shoulder was bruised, the print of her hand was in my arm and she threw me out the house because I defended my brother. My father dragged me back in the house but the next day I had to go to my mother. Since i had proof this time we went to the police with this.They decided my brother and I had to stay at my mums. I still get scared when someone raises a hand even if it's just for a highfive. I did thing about taking my own life whenever I was at dads if it wasn't for you guys. My brother always sneaked a phone with him from at mums so I could watch your podcast in the night. I rewatched sometimes a few or I watched Harry Potter because I' m a big fan of you guys. Olivers ranting always makes me laugh and I smile automatically when I hear james saying "Did you know". I've been a fan of yours for 8 years now and this podcast is my comfort. Whenever I have a bad day I watch or listen to it. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Thank you for being here and making this amazing podcast. It would mean a lot if you would read it and maybe react. Anyhow I just wanted to share this because I've always been afraid to talk about this. Thanks again for being my comfort people. Lots of love, Chayenne

This podcast is one of the few things on internet that spreads nothing but positive vibes and always brings a smile to my face. James and Oliver are one of the nicest guys ever
I've seen "episode 14" and just hit me: YOU GUYS SHOULD be the 14th Doctor! Or Doctor's companions. Or, or, the Master(s). Sorry, I'm a potterhead-whovian-hobbit-nerd, but just imagine how cool that would be! 🤩

7:02 This shows that you really give many people happiness and that you also give us a lot of love. I think this is the first time I have loved twins this much, even if it is actually the first time I have loved twins in my life ever. Anyway, in the end SO MUCH LOVE!!!

I really related to Rachel's story 🤍 I'd love to here even more of it because grief is such a huge topic which isn't talked about as much especially childhood grief 🥺
Я конечно русская но просто сижу и слушаю их прикрасный голос I'm certainly Russian but I just sit and listen to their embellished voice.
Remember when James said he makes the same sound as Tonto when he wakes up? 😆
happy belated birthday I really like you guys when you guys act in movies. Harry Potter Every day I still watch movies because of you guys. (I'm from Thailand so I'm not sure if I'm translating correctly.I'm sorry if I mistranslated.)🎊🌟
Loved this podcast it has helped my mental health so much I can’t wait for next week’s episode
My husband died the end of January. JustRach, thank you for sharing. Beautifully written. I’ve also found that this vid has brought me to a safe place. People have asked how I cope and have shared this show because it’s so positive.

Wow, it's my birthday on February 25, too 🥳
Rachel, your story touched me a lot. Both my parents passed away recently. First my Mom suddenly and 2 years later my Dad (the disease overwhelmed him in a month's time). It was just before COVID. The first time, I stood firm for my father. Whend he died in turn, I collapsed, I felt like an orphan. It's better now. I can think of them smiling, but I miss them every day. What pains me the most it that they will not see my children grow up. There are so many moments that I would have liked and I would like to share with them. You were so young when your lost your Mom, it's really tough. I promise you you'lle get better even if the pain remains. Your Mom is watching over you and will always be in your heart. Thank you for sharing. (and sorry for my english mistakes)

@@justrach_ You're so sweet, thank you ❤️. It's tragedies like this that remind us that life is short and we have to enjoy it. You're incredibly strong too. Telling your story must not have been easy. But to tell in order to help someone it's so... I have no words, you have a big heart, I'm sure your Mom is proud of you . You are a beautiful person and I wish you all the happiness possible in your adult life.
