Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, a new Food Network series, will be hosted by Oliver and James Phelps, the stars of the Harry Potter series. A magical new baking show is bringing James Phelps and Oliver Phelps, stars of Harry Potter, back to the Wizarding World that made them famous.
Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, a new Food Network program, will be cohosted by the twin brothers who portrayed Fred and George Weasley, the elder brothers of Harry's closest friend Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) in the film series. The eight Potter films were all shot at Watford, England's Leavesden Studios, which also serves as the location for the television series.
Chefs Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef, who will judge the competition, which will feature baked goods with a Potter theme, will be joining the Weasley twins. Along with the Phelps brothers, the show will also include guest appearances from well-known franchise faces like Ginny Weasley, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, and Warwick Davis. Bonnie Wright played the youngest Weasley family member, Ginny Weasley, while Warwick Davis played a number of roles in the series, including the goblin Griphook and Hogwarts Professor Flitwick.
The same filming locations from the Warner Bros. films, such as Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Platform 9¾, and Hogwarts Great Hall, will be available for contestants to craft their creations in.
The Potter films will undoubtedly qualify as holiday films when the series premieres in November.
The Wizarding World has expanded even though the last Potter book was published in 2007 and the last movie was released in 2011. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a two-part play performed on Broadway and in the West End, has been added to the Universal theme park and a plethora of merchandise.
Additionally, a TV series based on the best-selling novels, Potter, has been given the go-ahead. The eight-film series starred Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Grint as Ron, and Emma Watson as Hermoine Granger.
