Screaming in frustration, I reply:

No!  No, no, no, no!  This is off topic, but I must rant.  Twins are 
not one person!  Of course the Goblet could have made a choice; they 
are two completely different people.  And I hope to God the school 
wouldn't make an exception and treat the twins as a single person.  
Teachers have a horrible tendency to do things like that, and it's 
probably the most detrimental action they can possibly take towards 
shaping that child's individual identity.  Fred and George play off 
each other constantly.  This is because they were raised together, 
know each other extremely well, and know each other's strengths.  
They are able to use this to their advantage to cause as much 
mischief as possible, a common hobby both twins share.  But they are 
still different people.  Give me some time to look through the books 
and I'll give canon for the two different personalities.
