Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking is hosted by Potter alum James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), who will be joined by judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youseff — as well as a few “iconic” actors from the films (more on that below)! The show kicks off on the Food Network on Nov. 14 and will run for six episodes.
Each week contestants will have the opportunity to create Harry Potter-themed desserts and show off what they’ve come up with in iconic locations from the films and books, including Platform 9 3/4, The Great Hall, Gringrotts Wizarding Bank, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest, and more. This isn’t what anyone asked for, but fans are excited and curious:
Others have called the inclusion of the Phelps twins as “incredible marketing.”
A third fan noted that the show is “so niche” and “so me.”
