In between our yearly holiday rewatch of the "Harry Potter" movies in order and the anticipation for the upcoming "Harry Potter" Max series, the Wizarding World has been expanded with its first baking competition series, "Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking." The Food Network show has James and Oliver Phelps (a.k.a. the Weasley twins) hosting as pairs of expert bakers turn ingredients into show-stopping desserts, and of course they brought some of their cast members on the journey.
When CinemaBlend interviewed the Phelps brothers, they spoke with us about their favorite fan geek-out moment while returning to the original sets from the films, and how the late Maggie Smith is connected to the production. Additionally, they discussed bringing a few of the cast members back to Hogwarts to take part in the series.

00:00So cool that you're getting to share this show with a lot
00:03of your co-stars as guest stars.
00:05Do each of you have, I know this is going to be hard for you
00:08to choose, but is there, each of you kind of have a favourite
00:13past co-star that you got to bring on that you can tease?
00:17Yeah, there are, there's a couple.
00:18I mean, we still keep in contact with them to be honest with you.
00:22So it was nice, but it was nice seeing them in the Potter
00:25world as well.
00:27And there was one part like when Bonnie came in and none of the
00:31bakers knew that she was coming out, that we had her there.
00:35And that was nice seeing their reaction to it.
00:37But you know, we see Bon and we call her sis and they're like,
00:40oh wow, oh wow, they really did it.
00:42And it's to us like, yeah, okay.
00:45And then you forget where you are.
00:46You forget what it means to people to see us doing that.
00:48So it's nice to see that regard to it as opposed to sometimes
00:53when we're just like, you know, we'll go out for dinner or
00:55something like that with them.
00:57So to do it on the sets again was always cool.
