"Trent" is going to want to vanish pretty quickly after seeing he's been caught out!

We understand it is getting trickier and trickier to get people to fall in love with you over the internet...so when this fella decided to pose as Fred Weasley on his Tinder profile, it was only ever going to end in disaster.

Hands up who is still a little devastated that James Phelps isn't actually on Tinder then?! Why would he crush our Harry Potter dreams so nonchalantly like this?!
