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.
