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, there's a couple.
00:18I mean, we, we still keep in contact with,
00:21with them to be honest with you, so it was nice,
00:23but it was nice seeing them in the Potter world as well.
00:26And there was one part like when, when Bonnie came in
00:29and the, none of the bakers knew that she was coming out,
00:33that they, that we had, we had her there.
00:35And that was nice seeing their reaction to it.
00:37But you know, we see Bonnie and we call her sis
00:40and they're like, oh wow, oh wow, they really did it.
00:42And it's, so it's 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, it's nice to see that, that regard to it
00:52as opposed to sometimes when we're just like, you know
00:54we'll go out for dinner or something like that with them.
00:57So to do it on the, on the, on the sets again
00:59was always cool.
