Food Network’s Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking will feature bakers and pastry chefs who will prepare Harry Potter-themed baked goods. James Phelps and Oliver Phelps will co-host the series, with chefs Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef judging the competition. The series was filmed at the Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Watford, England, where all eight Potter films were shot as well, so get ready for a heavy dose of nostalgia.
Audiences will be able to spot some memorable locations in the show, including Platform 9 ¾, the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. To further add to the excitement, some other Harry Potter alums will make guest appearances on the show, including Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley; Evanna Lynch who starred as Luna Lovegood; and Warwick Davis, who played various characters such as goblin Griphook and Professor Flitwick.
Some of the iconic wizarding scenes will be recreated as edible dishes in the competition, like Harry and Ron’s flying car sequence and the magical Phoenix. Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking will debut on Food Network in November this year. Check out a sneak peek of the show below:
