‘Harry Potter’ Twins James and Oliver Phelps on ‘Wizards of Baking,’ New HBO Series: ‘People Will Always See Us as Fred and George’


James and Oliver Phelps, who played the Weasley twins in the 'Harry Potter' films, host a new competition show 'Wizards of Baking.'

James and Oliver Phelps may not be sporting the trademark red Weasley hair, but the twins are still instantly recognizable to fans of the “ Harry Potter ” franchise having played cheeky brothers Fred and George for almost a quarter of their lives. Now, a decade on, they’re back at Leavesden Studios just outside London, where the movies were shot, for a new competition show, “Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking,” which launches today on The Food Network, HBO and Max (it will be available from December on Prime Video in the U.K.). The Phelps twins host the show, which sees them reunite with former castmembers including Warwick Davis and Bonnie Wright, who return to the franchise as guest judges alongside foodies Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef, as they decide which bakers go through to the next round and which must apparate home.
