The twins are mentioned in passing a few times, also, in the context of Quidditch practice and Quidditch games.

Fred and George appear early in the story, with Ron, driving [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Arthur Weasley]]'s flying Ford Anglia and coming to rescue Harry from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|the Dursleys']]. They have a plan to get everyone back to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/The Burrow|The Burrow]], which is rather foiled when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Molly Weasley|Mrs. Weasley]] is awake and waiting for them upon their return. As punishment, after breakfast, the Twins and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] are sent to de-[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Gnome|Gnome]] the garden; Harry volunteers to assist them. Mrs. Weasley pulls out [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gilderoy Lockhart|Gilderoy Lockhart]]'s book on pest removal; Fred suggests that Mrs. Weasley is sweet on Gilderoy. George says they know how to de-Gnome a garden, and they go out and proceed to do that. As they finish, Mr. Weasley returns home; Mrs. Weasley tells him about the twins borrowing the car, in the apparent expectation that he will punish them for it; he simply asks how it went, then weakly says it was very bad in response to the anger of his wife.
When booklists arrive, it is apparent that whoever is teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts is fond of Gilderoy Lockhart, because the textbook for that course seems to be his entire works. Fred suggests that the new Defence teacher is likely a middle-aged witch; George says that the lot of them won't come cheap, to which Mrs. Weasley replies, "We'll manage." After making plans to visit [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Diagon Alley|Diagon Alley]] the next day, the twins, Harry, and Ron go up to a paddock that the Weasleys own to practice Quidditch. Fred remarks, disgustedly, that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy]] had refused to play; if he keeps up as he has been, he is likely to become [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Head Boy|Head Boy]].
Once they are all in Diagon Alley, the Weasleys and Harry split up on their separate errands. Mrs. Weasley feels that she needs to tell the Twins to stay out of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Knockturn Alley|Knockturn Alley]]. Harry does meet up with them and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lee Jordan|Lee Jordan]], in Gambol and Japes Joke Shop. Fred and George are back with the family in Flourish and Blotts, and are present when the fight between Mr. Weasley and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]] breaks out. When Mrs. Weasley comments, "''What'' Gilderoy Lockhart must have thought..." Fred points out that he was trying to figure out how to add it to the publicity for his book-signing.
In the Quidditch match against Slytherin, a Bludger seems to have decided that it is going to concentrate on Harry. Despite Fred and George's best efforts, it seems to have chosen to attack Harry repeatedly. Harry tells Fred and George that he'll have to deal with it himself, he can't ask them to stay up there and let the rest of the team take a beating from the remaining Bludger. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Oliver Wood|Oliver Wood]] agrees, and so reluctantly, Fred and George leave Harry on his own and rejoin the game.
Later, the entire school seems to be convinced that Harry is the Heir of Slytherin. Harry is extremely cheered that Fred and George can keep making jokes about the situation.
Finally, on the Hogwarts Express homewards, Fred and George learn from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] that Percy has a girlfriend, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Penelope Clearwater|Penelope Clearwater]]. It seems that the Twins are going to have some fun with him about that.
