Rowling’s beloved series directly to your screens, combining the art of baking with the magic of one of the most iconic film and book franchises.
Set against the mystical backdrop of Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Watford, England—where the actual Harry Potter movies were filmed—this competition is unlike any other. Participants, donned in their wizarding best, will whip up confections in locations such as The Great Hall at Hogwarts and the cobblestoned streets of Diagon Alley.
