Harry Potter fans have a new reason to be excited as the beloved twin duo, James and Oliver Phelps, reveal more about their upcoming project, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking. The brothers, who famously portrayed Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter films, are set to host the new Food Network series, which promises to bring the magic of the Wizarding World into the world of baking.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the Phelps brothers shared insights into the concept behind the show and what led the producers to choose Harry Potter as the theme. James explained, “The majority of people have heard of Harry Potter in some way, whether through the books, the films, or simply through cultural references. Each episode of the show is centered around a theme drawn directly from the Harry Potter universe.”
The show was filmed at Leavesden Studios, the iconic location where the original Harry Potter films were shot, which made the experience all the more special. James elaborated, saying, “It’s incredible to see top bakers and chefs bringing the imaginative world of Harry Potter to life through food. The themes and elements from the movies come alive in edible forms, and it’s magical to witness.”
Fans of the series will also enjoy the set’s design, as it contains subtle nods to various aspects of the Wizarding World. When asked if there were any hidden references for Potter fans to spot, Oliver revealed, “There are so many little details that fans will recognize. If you look closely, you’ll notice references to things like the chocolate frog boxes or even a Quidditch pitch in the background.”
The twins expressed their excitement about the show’s potential to connect with both Harry Potter fans and food lovers alike. “No doubt, viewers will love the show and enjoy being transported back into the Wizarding World,” Oliver concluded.
As Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking prepares to air, fans can look forward to a delicious blend of magic, nostalgia, and culinary creativity. The Phelps brothers are bringing a new flavor to the Harry Potter universe, and it’s sure to be a treat for audiences of all ages.
