‘Harry Potter’ Competition Series ‘Wizards of Baking’ Ordered at Food Network, Will Feature Original Film Sets
Food Network has ordered a baking competition inspired by the beloved "Harry Potter" franchise.
Per the competition’s description, “Viewers will see beloved locations, including inside The Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Platform 9¾, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, The Burrow as well as props, costumes, and clips from the blockbuster films. The baking competition has been picked up just as Food Network sibling Max is ramping up development on its “Harry Potter” TV show — a new adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s seven-book series that was first ordered by the streamer in April 2023 and is described as a more complete and detailed retelling of the novels. Both projects are in line with WBD CEO David Zaslav’s huge push to mine as much existing high-profile Warner Bros. IP as possible, including more “Game of Thrones” series, a rebooted DC Universe franchise and the new “The Lord of the Rings” films.
