Your Hosts: Oliver and James Phelps

Actors Oliver and James Phelps are best known for portraying twins Fred and George Weasley in the original Harry Potter films, and have served as hosts and mischief-makers for both seasons of the baking competition.

"When we step back into that world, [into the] Great Hall, for example, it doesn't feel like 25 seconds have passed, let alone years," remarked Oliver, "It is such like a little time capsule when you're inside."

Guest Judge: Warwick Davis

Warwick Davis has been a wizard longer than many of us might remember. He's also been a powerful presence in fantasy and sci-fi films: Star Wars fans know him as Wicket the Ewok, fans of 1980s fantasy know him as the sorcerer Willow Ufgood. But it's his role as Charms Professor Filius Flitwick in all eight Harry Potter films that we're obsessed with!

Mr. Davis appeared as a guest judge in Season 1 of Wizards of Baking and will return to Hogwarts again for Season 2.
