Wizards of Baking: Potter-Themed Bake-Off

0:00It's April 14th. You're listening to Sydney News today, AI-powered local news. James and Oliver Phelps, the twins who brought Fred and George Weasley to life in Harry Potter, are now hosting Wizards of Baking. This new show drops them back into the Wizarding World at Warner Bros. Studios, where they guide teams of bakers through Potter theme challenges. Contestants kick off by earning spots on the Hogwarts Express from Platform 9 and 3-quarters. Even hit iconic sets like Greengots Bank and The Great Hall for Desert Showdowns, everything's inspired by the films from cauldrons to dragons all made edible. These bakers aren't just skilled, they're diehard fans turning flower, sugar, and chocolate into mind-blowing replicas. Think of full goblin deaths from Greengots or a stallion patronus you could slice and eat without spotting the trick. Judges, Carla Hall, and Joseph Yusuf, knit pick the details, but even their critiques can't dim the magic of these creations. Guest stars from the Potter cast, like Warwick Davis, pop in to keep the nostalgia flowing.
