Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking is a brand new baking competition series premiering Thursday, November 14 at 8 pm ET/PT on Food Network and streaming globally on Max. James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) co-host and provide behind-the-scenes anecdotes, joined by judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef.

The competition kicks off with a super-sized episode in which nine teams of pastry chefs and cake artists are tasked with baking massive, spellbinding edible showpieces inspired by moments and themes from the Harry Potter saga. Each week, the culinary artists will design eye-popping creations that tantalize the taste buds and offer surprising and enchanting visual elements.

The contestants will present their creations on sets such as Platform 9-3/4, The Great Hall, Gringotts, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest, and more.
