It might be May, but Food Network's news for the holiday season has some wishing for the cold to return. On Wednesday, Food Network announced a new baking competition show. The new competition baking show has a fantastical twist based on the Harry Potter series. “Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking” will air on Food Network and be available to stream on Max. Production of Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking is set to begin in the U.K. shortly with the series set to premiere during the holiday season.
Here's what to expect in the Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking competition show.
The competition baking show will be filled with sweet creations inspired by the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Hosted by James and Oliver Phelps, aka Fred and George Weasley, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking will be shot at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, where the Harry Potter movies were filmed. The competition baking show will also be set against Warner Bros. Studio Tour London — The Making of Harry Potter. The bakers and pastry chefs will fully be immersed in Harry Potter.
“Viewers will see beloved locations, including inside The Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Platform 9¾, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, The Burrow as well as props, costumes, and clips from the blockbuster films,” the competition show’s description states.
With the Phelps twins hosting, it does leave room to speculate if the show will have any potential guest stars from the Harry Potter franchise — a family Weasley or Golden Trio reunion to be exact.
If this made you want to rewatch Harry Potter, make sure to have the perfect snacks for your binge session.
