Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking

Hosts James and Oliver Phelps welcome nine pairs of gifted professional pastry chefs and cake artists to Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios, home to the iconic sets of the Harry Potter films. For their first challenge, the bakers must create an edible showpiece that is at least 2 feet tall, includes at least one magical effect, and tells the story of their shared love of Harry Potter. Plus, each team member must make a tasting element that showcases their individual specialty. Expert culinary judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef decide which bakers will earn a ticket to board the Hogwarts Express train to the next challenge!

The remaining teams enter the breathtaking world of Gringotts Wizarding Bank to face off in three head-to-head battles. Hosts James and Oliver Phelps ask the bakers to create 3-foot showpieces inspired by the resplendent main hall, the network of tunnels and carts, and the underground vaults. The creations must also include at least one enchanting effect and two tasting elements, plus a surprise hidden treasure! Judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef are joined by Harry Potter alumnus Warwick Davis to decide the winner, and one team will be sent home.

In a salute to the famed Diagon Alley, hosts James and Oliver Phelps ask each team to create fifty identical handheld desserts, inspired by one of the many different shops, and feed them to a crowd of eager Harry Potter fans on the actual set. The bakers must present their desserts in a way that highlights an interactive, magical effect. The Potter fans will vote for a winner, while judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef decide which team must leave the competition.

Hosts James and Oliver Phelps welcome eight pairs of talented pastry wizards to the Great Hall, and with the help of the Sorting Hat, assign the teams into the four Hogwarts Houses. The bakers are challenged to create a massive showpiece that is inspired by their assigned house, and the teammates must collaborate to make one tasting element. Expert culinary judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef decide which bakers will move on to the next challenge.

Hosts James and Oliver Phelps meet the remaining six teams in front of the Knight Bus and challenge them to create showpieces inspired by magical transportation from the Harry Potter world that give the illusion of movement. Plus, the bakers are assigned classic English desserts that must be incorporated into their tasting elements. Special guest Devon Murray, who played Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter films, surprises the competitors and joins Judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef in deciding which team will be sent home.

Baking meets the bubbling world of transfiguration as the five remaining teams find themselves in the Potions classroom. Inspired by Polyjuice Potion, hosts James and Oliver Phelps challenge the bakers to recreate two items from the Harry Potter world, such as a Nimbus 2001 broom or Beater's Bats, as hyperrealistic edible showpieces. The teams start to crack under the pressure as one pair uses the Devil's Snare penalty to tie up the competition. Judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef decide which team made the most convincing and delicious edible artifact.
