James and Oliver Phelps Revisit Harry Potter Set For Food Network’s Wizards Of Baking

According to People, the new competition series is set to release on Food Network in November. Exclusive photos from the show have been shared, showcasing that it was filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Watford, England, the same location where the Harry Potter franchise was created.

James And Oliver Phelps Will Be Hosting The Show

The film locations aren’t the only familiar aspect for Potterheads. James and Oliver Phelps, who portrayed Fred and George Weasley, will host the show. They are joined by real-life chefs Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef, who serve as judges.

Fans will also recognize other Harry Potter stars, including Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley, Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood, and Warwick Davis as Professor Filius Flitwick.

The actors make guest appearances on the show at iconic filming locations such as the Great Hall at Hogwarts, Platform 9 ¾, and Gringotts Wizarding Bank, all within Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter.

Bakers and pastry chefs create edible versions of memorable Harry Potter scenes, such as Ron and Harry crashing the Weasley’s flying car into a tree, and iconic magical items like the golden snitch.

Food Network hopes that “viewers and legions of Potter fans are going to have an extra special holiday season as this new series blends legendary storytelling and fantastical edible creations in a never-before-seen competition that will have audiences at the edge of their seats,” according to show description. 

New Harry Potter Series Confirmed for 2025 or 2026

The popular eight-movie Harry Potter franchise, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, ended in 2011. However, new Potter content continues to emerge, with Warner Bros. Discovery recently confirmed plans for a brand-new series based on the best-selling novels.

The upcoming drama, set to premiere in 2025 or 2026 according to Deadline, will be a “faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter book series,” as stated in an official press release from Warner Bros. Discovery.

In the meantime, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking will premiere on Food Network in November.
