Original subtitles

[narrator] This is Warner Brothers Studios, England.

Currently home to a baking contest, all playing out

amongst the original sets featured in

eight unforgettable movies.

Last time, the teams were challenged to bring

the Hogwarts houses to life.

Better be...Gryffindor!

[laughing, cheering]

Six teams dazzled the judges and moved on

in the competition. -Oh.

Coming up, they'll travel to another

iconic "Harry Potter" location...

Bakers, welcome to Platform 9 3/4!

-[cheering] -Wow.

...and meet a very special guest.

-This show has been eye-opening. -Hey.

But with these conductors in charge, it's going to be

a bumpy ride.

What are you doing down there? Come on, hop on board.

Next stop, "Wizards of Baking," Chapter Two.

["Hedwig's Theme" by John Williams plays]

[whimsical music plays]

[amazed murmuring]

Greetings, bakers.

[overlapping greetings]

-[laughing] -Oh.

Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport

for stranded baker.

My name is Oliver Phelps and this is my brother James,

and we will be your conductors for the evening.

Well, we're here to get things moving.

Moving being the operative word, because this fine-looking,

triple-decker Knight Bus is just one of the many magical ways

to navigate through the world of "Harry Potter."

-[maniacal laughter] -[whooshing]

[Harry] What about the Muggles? Can't they see us?

[driver] Muggles? They don't see nothing, do they?

So, if you want to get your sticky mitts

on the Wizards of Baking Trophy,

for your next challenge, you'll need to bake a showpiece

inspired by that theme. Transport.

You'll have just six hours to conjure up a creation... -Oof.

...that traverses the amazing world of "Harry Potter."

-All right. -So, let's get a riddle on.

Follow us. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

-[laughing] -Let the baking begin.

[clapping]

-A little suitcase. -Where are we going?

-[Kate] Do you want to do the honors? -[Heather] Yeah.

-Ooh. -Hagrid's motorbike.

[Katie] A magical motorbike that way-back-when delivered

baby Harry Potter to the Dursleys.

Start your engines.

Ooh, that's gonna be a fun one.

-[Kate] Yes. -We go the Knight Bus.

-[Kate] Amazing. -The Vanishing Cabinet.

-Yes. -[Priya & Molly] The Red Telephone Box.

[Molly] A gateway to let visitors

into the Ministry of Magic.

-Amazing. -That's really good.

-The Weasley's flying car. -[gasps] -- ah!

[Jenny & Alex] The Whitehall Underground public toilet.

[gurgling]

[whoosh]

-And don't forget to flush. -OK.

I haven't made a toilet.

You know, funnily enough, no, I haven't either.

-OK. -It's a funny one.

I mean, we gotta go big with this bus, right?

-[Kate] We really do. -Oh, look!

We have some inspiration here at the kitchen.

That's the scene, actually, yeah.

-[Angel] All right. -[Rui] I think we should do, like, the little bridge...

-[Angel] OK. -[Rui]...and the car together.

[ethereal sound]

-[gasping] -[whimsical music plays]

-Whoo. -[Andy] Whoa.

-[overlapping] Oh! -Whoo!

-Hello, bakers. -[all] Hello.

No, you're not seeing things, there are usually two of us.

But as my mum will tell you, I've got

the more punctual genes.

-[laughing] -For some added enchantment,

we want your creations to give the illusion of movement.

[whispering] Ooh.

-OK. -[James] And this time,

you're serving your showpieces on the set

of Platform 9 3/4.

-Wow. -Oh, it's gonna be fun.

It's gonna be awesome.

It is the gateway to glorious Great Britain.

We want your creations to contain

a traditional, British flavor. -Oh.

Pudding. Get your puddings

right here! Don't be shy!

Come and try some classic, British desserts.

Heather and Kate, my little treacle, have some treacle tart

right here. -[Heather] Oh, I would love to.

-Thank you. -[Heather] I've never had it before.

Thank god I have this pastry genius here to lean on

to help develop those flavors, because I have no idea

where to start. None.

Heather, I hate to break it to you, but I also have never had

a treacle tart before. -[whispering] Don't tell me that.

-I'm so sorry. -[Oliver] Andy and Stefan.

-[Andy] Yes. -Eton mess, sirs.

-Thank you. -[Oliver] Molly and Priya.

Battenberg. Don't be square.

-Thank you. -Amazing.

It's the kind of thing that reminds me of my gran.

-She would have it at her house. -Santa's favorites, mince pies.

[Katie] I've lived in England, so I know a lot of these

English desserts that are coming out.

Mince pie, I love eating them at Christmas time

because I love all of the flavors.

Angel and Rui, feast your eyes on this

rhubarb crumble. -[Angel] Ooh.

-[Angel] Yum. -[Oliver] And Jenny and Alex,

Victoria sponge,

fit for a queen. -Oh, thank you very much.

[Alex] That's amazing.

So teams, use this classic dessert as the inspiration

for your flavors.

Don't worry, I've saved the spotted dick for myself.

[laughing]

-All right, dig in. -[Heather] Let's do it.

Oh, this is gonna be good.

So you've got a little bit of cake,

you've got that vanilla sponge.

-Mm! -It's very light.

-Mm-hmm. -I don't understand it at all,

but I think I like it. -It's interesting.

I think some of these bakers have never even heard of

some of these puddings, let alone tried them.

-[Oliver] Some very confused looks. -[Andy] Brandy.

[Katie] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[Jujhar] Some dried fruits. Where's the mince?

No actual chunks of beef. It's not a burger pie.

It's not a pot pie. It's a mince pie.

[Jujhar] Whatever it is, it tastes good.

Is this your first time trying this?

My first time trying rhubarb.

[whimsical music plays]

If you're making a toilet, Alex...

-Yeah. -...it has to flush.

-OK. -[Jenny] Otherwise, what's the point?

[Alex] Do you know what would be amazing?

-Maybe to put the... -Oh, the flushing chain.

-Yeah. -Flushing chain off here.

And that way the judges can pull it out?

-Yes, yes. -And then the hand.

So what's gonna get flushed down the loo, Alex?

-The hand. -A hand.

[Alex] There you go.

[Jenny] We're gonna be making a toilet sat on a fireplace.

To hide our tasting element, I'm gonna make some wafer paper

flames and a flushing chain and toilet roll.

This is one of the weirdest days of my life.

[Alex] It is my first time making a chocolate toilet,

but I'm gonna make it look so real.

I'm gonna make this a marble finish.

I'm hugging the toilet bowl.

It's been a few years since I've done that, but...

-[laughing] -Hey, Rui, what did you get?

Weasley car.

Are you sure you don't want to swap it for a toilet?

-The toilet. -Does anybody want to swap for a toilet?

If anyone should have gotten the toilet, I'm glad it's you.

[Stefan] So we have Eton mess.

We wanted to elevate that and to take it somewhere

different that maybe the judges have never tried before.

Of course, the cream, I'm actually using

clotted cream for another sort of British twist.

We're gonna have layers of meringue.

We're gonna have some tarragon cremeux.

We're gonna have a strawberry compote.

And I've got a lot to do. I've not made life simple for myself.

So we're gonna just push through and get all these

different layers made, prepared, ready to go.

Andy, Stefan -- Stefan, you're bobbing around

like a madman. What's going on there?

Yeah, we've got a lot on this challenge, for sure.

And a very complex tasting element as well.

-What's complex about Eton mess? -when you present Eton mess

as an eyeball, it becomes a different game.

So that's what we're planning to do today.

-A what? -[James] An eyeball?

-Yeah. -So we're talking the eyeballs being actual life-size?

[Stefan] Probably a bit larger.

Maybe like an eyeball of a donkey.

-[laughing] -Right, OK.

The famous "Harry Potter" creature.

The Harry Potter donkey, yeah.

What was your mode of transport that you got?

[Andy] The Vanishing Cabinet.

So what we'll do is kind of start it at

the Room of Requirement, where we saw the Vanishing Cabinet

from the scene where Draco is, like, practicing on

the Vanishing Cabinet, and he, like, takes the tarp

off of it.

So our showpiece will spin around to reveal

the sister location of Borgin & Burke.

There's a lot of different items, all the keys

and the gems. We want to bring it to life,

and to do that, we have to

really load it up, just like the store is.

-[Oliver] Sure. -And so it's gonna take a lot of work to kind of create

all those different elements, but I think that if we can

pull it off, it's gonna be really cool to see.

Excellent, well, we'll keep an eye on what

you guys are up to -- good luck, we'll see you later. -Ah!

-See you soon. -[Stefan] Cheers, guys.

[Stefan] So this Eton mess eyeball, we take some cocoa butter,

black, for the little center of the eye, some blue,

which you spray on.

The most delicious eyeball known to man.

[Andy] Are you sure? Have you tried eyeball?

[Stefan] I actually have not tried many eyeballs to be fair, so...

That's done. Eyeballs molded.

[Andy] Nice.

Teams, you have five hours to finish your buses,

your bikes... -I'm scared.

...your toilets...

Kate, if you're OK, I'm gonna take over

the treacle filling for you. -That sounds great.

[Kate] We were assigned the treacle tart, so I'm still using

the classic short crust, but reimagining it

as a mille-feuille style.

Mille-feuille means many layers.

It's very french.

I went to the French pastry school in Chicago,

and I fell in love with it immediately.

It's great to be paired with a classically trained baker

because I wouldn't have a clue on how to properly make

that crust. -[Kate] I want to make my short crust thin,

trying to stay true to the inspiration

while still trying to make it my own.

I'm gonna get started on the lemon custard.

The Knight Bus is a giant piece.

For our illusion of movement, we're going to have

the Knight Bus drive down the bridge, just like it does

in the movies, with a hill that is made out of cake

atop the lit up bridge.

We're planning on walking a really fine line between

going real big and going just over that line

to making it too big.

Come on. I'm, like, losing my mind.

I'm worried that I wrote my recipe wrong when I scaled it.

I'm realizing that my quantities are way off,

and there is just way too much sugar, and it makes my custard

just really, really, really thin.

What am I doing? Oh, my god.

We don't have room or time for any mistakes like this.

-[Heather] How can I help? -[Kate] I don't know.

I'm determined to try and salvage this cream, so hope

and a prayer, I'm adding some extra egg yolk to try

and thicken it up.

The risk here is that if we go too far, then we'll have to

start it over.

I can really see this custard coming together.

I'm feeling pretty confident about it.

I think this might be OK. You want a taste?

Sorry, I just came at you real hard with that.

-[Heather] That's delicious. -[Kate] Thanks.

Oh, my god. No more mistakes.

That's it.

[Priya] Molly, how are you so fast?

That thing was naked a minute ago.

-[Molly] I know. -[Priya] I am spraying

green and black on acetate.

I want to create that green-black gradient tile that

you see in the Ministry of Magic and then spread

my chocolate really thin.

The transfer of color is really gonna come through.

-[Priya] It is Ministry of Magic glory. -Molly, Priya.

-Hi. -I see a phone box coming together.

-Yes. -So let's go back 15 years.

How did you start making cakes?

So I was a special-effects artist, and I used to

do makeup, prosthetics, airbrushing for

weddings or for special effects or for body painting.

And then I started using it just messing about on cakes

with food coloring. And for some reason, here I am.

Are the cakes a bit less temperamental, then, than brides

on their wedding day or anything like that?

The cakes aren't looking at you.

There's not as much pressure.

Priya, how did you get into chocolate?

[Priya] I was previously a hairstylist.

My family was part of a wildfire evacuation,

and we moved quickly, suddenly to a new environment

and decided to take a fresh start.

Chocolate wasn't like anything else that I've done before,

and so it was exciting and new, and so I really leaned

into that, and I'm glad. Never looked back.

-[James] Yeah. -So where's the tasting element going to go?

How are you going to build it up?

[Priya] Instead of your classic Battenberg, we're gonna do

chocolate and mint.

With the chocolate and mint flavors, we're really pulling

inspiration from the tiles inside the Ministry of Magic,

which are black and green. -[Oliver] Yes.

[Molly] So we're gonna make the tasting element

into a desk.

We are making the main focal point inside,

which is the statue.

We've made the iconic, green tiles from

the Ministry of Magic. -So I think it's all really

gonna come together nicely.

I think that it's really honoring the classics,

but maybe taking our own little spin on it.

I mean, after all, Harry is awaiting judge-mint.

-Right, OK. -That was her joke, by the way.

-[Oliver] I was gonna say, that's... -[laughing]

-[Jenny] Hey, Jujahar. -[Jujhar] Yeah?

[Jenny] How do you spell gentlemen?

-G-E-N-T-L-E-M-E-N. -Thank you.

Teams, you have four hours to finish your buses, your bikes,

your toilets... -[Jenny] Yay.

[Katie] So, we made this armature of handlebars and just coating it

in chocolate. Then we're gonna do

modeling chocolate over the top to

really make all of the details. -I have a lot of work to do.

For a showpiece, it's inspired by

Hagrid's legendary motorbike and sidecar...

[Katie] We want to make the motorbike to look like it's soaring

through the night sky. I'm a chocolatier.

This is my time to shine. I'm excited to be on here,

and I get to make, with Jujhar, a motorcycle out of chocolate.

My stepmom was a chef, and once I was old enough,

like eight, she'd be like, "OK, you have two hands,

you can roll a truffle."

And that is still what I'm doing 25 years later.

That's incredible.

Ooh, that's really shiny, though.

Congrats.

This is a puzzle.

Tubes, headlight back, isomalt front.

You know, I really am a lot like Hermione.

All I care about is, like, doing the job,

doing it correctly.

It's gonna be a very heavy piece.

[Jujhar] There's no room for error, you know?

There's things we gotta cut, things we gotta layer,

things can snap, and there's no time to fix this.

This is gonna be a really big challenge, because,

you know, these fat fingers, you know,

it's sometimes tricky.

Yeah, it's looking cool.

Try to make this as detailed as possible.

-[Jujhar] Katie, you like it? -[Katie] I absolutely love it.

We are presenting the Weasley car.

It's magical. It flies.

Rui is doing the chocolate bridge, and then I'm doing

the car on top.

So first I need to cover all the car in fondant

before putting the lights and all the little details.

So cool.

So I just got xanthan gum, calcium gluconate...

I don't know any of those things.

[Rui] For the tasting element...

So I always try to go with a different molecular technique

in every challenge.

All my family, friends, are for sure fingers crossing for me,

especially my cat, Bougie Cat. -Bougie Cat.

-He has a Prada necklace. -Oh, please.

What's the menthol going into?

[Rui] You know it's not mint, it's a cooling agent.

[Molly] Ooh.

So it's just the cold sensation coming up.

Be my guest.

[laughing]

-[Rui] Is it enough? -Yes.

Oh, it's so good.

[Rui] So I'm adding this ginger streusel, the cooling agent,

using the mousse. It looks like a book of spells.

And then on top, the rhubarb and the hibiscus,

explosive sphere.

So when they cut it, kind of like...[mimics explosion]

-[Rui] Yeah. -That's cool.

Jujhar, how's everything coming along for you?

I've done my cloud base, and Katie's working

on the bike. It's all about the details.

Oh, yeah.

So right now, I'm just molding some isomalt gems to kind of go

throughout the cake, just another one of

the elements that is in the shop.

I wanted to create some elements you would see

in the actual shops.

Then I make a bunch of skulls using chocolate.

-[Andy] Just like by... -[Stefan] Oh, that's sick.

[Stefan] That is perfect, because it's antique.

Age some of them, dust some of them, just to kind of

give us some variety throughout the piece.

[Stefan] I think we're both optimists, really.

I think we've got a positive outlook.

Yeah, I think we're both, like, glass-half-full people.

[Stefan] Yes.

It just kind of keeps us in the right headspace.

Victory.

[Alex] Right now, I'm unmolding my chocolate toilet seat.

I wanted to make it look like marble.

At the moment, it doesn't look marbleized.

-It just looks dirty. -Hey, Jenny, Alex.

I thought it was looking like marble.

Jenny told me, like, it is...

It may look a bit like an unfortunate toilet.

-Yeah, yeah... -It's an unfortunate color choice, I thought.

Yeah, I mean, I have been in a few like that over the years.

Jenny, you're making toilet paper over there.

Yes, yes, I am. Do you want to smell?

It's just edible wafer.

And it's got a little bit of rose.

Don't blow it, though. Don't blow your nose.

This is...

this is the weirdest thing I've ever done.

[Oliver] So you've obviously got a mischievous side to you.

-[Jenny] Yeah. -Tell us some stories.

So did you know I was a vicar's wife?

Did you know I was a vicar's wife?

-[James] I did know. -[Jenny] Did you know?

[Jenny] When I met my vicar husband, I was living next door to him.

He's my next-door neighbor.

Now, I could not resist yelling over the garden fence.

And I was like, "Oi, vicar, fancy a drink?"

And he went, I went, "Oh, yes, OK, then."

-[Jenny] And that was how we met. -[James] Alex.

[Alex] Yeah?

Jenny's sense of humor, is it rubbing off on you?

We are competing for the Wizards of Baking Cup,

so I think too much. No, no, I do love Jenny.

-No, no. -[laughing]

I love Jenny.

We have a lot of violently purple bus to cover.

It's time to hammer down the bus.

Get the purple fondant on it. Get those windows cut out.

Really want side panel to just be heavily detailed.

I know that's gonna eat up a lot of time.

I am a little worried that we've gone too big,

but at the same time, it's the triple-decker bus.

I love me some pressure.

I feel like we've got to do it big.

I think it's worth the risk.

I didn't leave my business for three weeks to not win.

To be able to bring home the trophy, the sense of pride

that I would bring to my team members.

Right now, I have a team of near 35 at my bakery,

and to bring that joy to the community of Rochester.

I can't wait to make everybody emotional,

make everybody proud.

Keep it moving. Only three hours to go.

-Three hours. -Oh, my god.

Only three hours.

[distant rumbling]

-Oh. -What's that?

-[whooshing] -[music plays]

Oh my god.

Something's happening.

-[whooshing] -[whimsical music plays]

[Oliver] Well, wouldn't you know it?

It's Seamus Finnegan himself, Devon Murray.

-[Devon] Hey, guys. -[all] Hi.

-Oh my gosh! -Hi, hi!

-Oh my God! -Devon, great to see you again.

Good to see you, too.

How does it feel to be our guest judge tonight?

Do you know what? I'm absolutely over the moon.

I'm so excited.

Devon here starred in all eight of

the "Harry Potter" movies.

Wingard leviosa.

-Well done, dear. -Wingard -- [explosion blasts]

Oh.

I think we're going to need another feather

over here, Professor.

When you got the role in the film, were you aware of

the films itself or the books? -No, I had absolutely no idea.

So they flew me over for a screen test.

I had no idea what "Harry Potter" was.

I'd never read the books, never heard of it.

So I walked over to the director, Chris Columbus,

and I said, "Hiya, Harry Potter.

I'm Devon Murray. Nice to meet you."

So they were looking for a silly Irish kid,

and they kind of found a silly Irish kid that day.

It's crazy to see Devon Murray.

He's definitely always getting into trouble.

I would be his character.

My arches come out perfectly. Angel, look at them.

[Angel] We're working together on assembling the bridge.

We're very nervous because this is a lot of chocolate.

[Rui] Let's see. Moment of truth.

There we go. We have to pass the heat gun

in order to melt the chocolate that we're gluing with.

Take approximately 40 to 50 kilos of chocolate in total

to make that bridge. -[Angel] That's a lot of chocolate.

-Happy? -[Angel] Very happy.

I'm building our mille-feuille now.

So I have our short crust filled with a treacle filling,

lemon zest custard.

It's really crucial that I get this tasting element

into the back of the bus.

The bus is going to be driving down the bridge.

We're a little bit worried about once that movement

happens, it's going to be so top heavy that it's going to

topple over.

Just disastrous if it falls off.

I hope that what we're doing is gonna get us to the head of

the class like Hermione and not blow up in our faces.

like Seamus.

-Heather, Kate. -How are you guys?

Hey, guys. So we have the Knight Bus here,

and look at this all coming together.

Do I sense a little bit of stress?

Um, a tiny bit, but it's not...

I don't think we're at full panic yet.

What's left to do?

The landscape, some fine detailing, airbrushing,

getting some dimension.

I think that's a really important step.

Anybody have a time turner in their pocket?

-No, fortunately not. -Not in these trousers, I'm afraid.

[Jujhar] So I have my tarts here. I'm gonna be making the base.

Katie's gonna make this delicious mince filling,

you know, with some raisins, some brandy.

[Katie] All right, I'm pouring my brandy in.

[Jujhar] Ooh. Flambé.

[Katie] Et voila!

So, we have to incorporate our tasting element

in our showpiece, and we don't want to cover it with,

you know, silver luster dust.

So we will be placing our mince tart on the top of our gas tank

to display this dessert.

And we're gonna top it off with a beautiful chocolate feather.

Time is flying like the Weasleys' rusty, old banger.

-Only one hour to go. -[Angel] Oh.

Oh, my God.

This is absolutely incredible.

Yeah, so now we'll do the blue.

Be, like, the blue of your eyes.

-[Devon] Yeah. -[Katie] Like, that's the color.

[Alex] Victorian sponge cake.

Always have a genoa, so I'm making a whipped

white chocolate ganache.

And you're also making a raspberry gel.

I think it is going to be a really nice surprise

for the judges.

[Priya] This part is important for precision.

I really want to capture that perfect checkerboard effect.

I think this is an important one to keep us in the running.

Hey, Molly.

I think we really need that tasting element.

[Priya] The foam box door will magically open to reveal a desk

made out of our tasting element Battenberg cake.

[Molly] The fondant's got the color, a wood effect.

Hopefully, the judges will be able to see that.

So, priorities now, I'm going to do the wizard.

Otherwise, there's nothing to see.

So much modeling chocolate and stuffed it all together.

It's what we call speed modeling.

[Priya] How are you holding up there, Molly?

[Molly] Not great, but at least we can go out with a bang.

[Stefan] This is the front door of the Vanishing Cabinet,

which is fun.

So now I've switched to chocolatier mode, really going

into chocolate carpentry now.

We've obviously got to build a cabinet, we've got shelves

to do, cutting in to create wooden planks.

From there, what I need to do is actually airbrush it,

so I have to get that beautiful, old, wooden effect.

I have to hope that all the dimensions, we've done

our calculations correctly, I've got a lot to do, I need to

get this cabinet I finished.

Can you help me with this cabinet?

-[Andy] One... -[Stefan] I need some help if it's possible.

[Andy]...second.

Just attaching the last shelf.

Please, emergency help.

[Andy] We have so much more to do in just our small amount of time.

Oh, my god.

If we don't get this Vanishing Cabinet done,

we're vanishing from this competition.

OK.

It's like, ah, this is, you know, pressure's on.

We haven't got a cabinet, we haven't got a showpiece.

To kind of hold its shape, I just hit it with

a little bit of cold spray. That way it kind of holds.

Fingers crossed that we're making it through

to the next round. -OK, yeah, that's it.

-[Stefan] Nice, OK. -[Andy] Something, something.

Good. Single focus now.

Time is running out very quickly.

Am I OK just to focus on the cabinet?

[Andy] Please do. I've got everything else.

[Oliver] You've got to move faster than a Firebolt.

Only 10 minutes to go.

[Heather] That time clock is not our friend right now.

Oh, my god, we have so much to paint still.

The hand's just gonna go on. That's looking really good.

-[Jenny] I love it. -We're in crunch time.

[Angel] Have to make it perfect.

-[Jujhar] I need a little bit of...

gold. It's gonna be so cool.

[Angel] I like it.

[Kate] Building up the Knight Bus has taken up so much time that

in the last few minutes, we are frantically covering

the hills, we're making the water, we're putting

our edible rocks in there.

I would love a little bit more time, but hey ho.

-60 seconds. -[Stefan] Oh, my god.

[groaning]

[Molly] Put the gold guy in. I love it.

[Priya] OK, we want to test the magic.

Any minute now.

-[pop] -[Molly] Oh.

[Katie] There we go.

So this is my first chocolate showpiece of the competition.

If I don't win, it's gonna be an embarrassment, but also

I want our team to be the one to watch.

Oh, my gosh. This is adorable.

[Jenny] So it's gonna go... Let me just...

Let me get... Will you put it in the right place?

-Go, go, go. -[Jenny] No, lift it up a bit.

[Oliver & James] Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three,

two, one. -[Andy] Oh, my god.

[James] Arresto Momentum, your time is up!

-Well done. -laughing.

-Oh, my god. -High-five, my messy friend.

-Oh, you are gross. -[Andy] Gross.

[whimsical music plays]

[train horn blows]

[Jenny] Don't drip it on your loo seat.

[Kate] Do you want to hit these with the steam?

-[Rui] It's shiny, shiny. -[Stefan] Yes, I love the little gems.

It just adds that little detail.

[Priya] Yeah. Beautiful.

[Katie] I feel like we're restoring a piece of artwork.

[train whistle blows]

Judging our bakers are expert chefs, Carla Hall

and Jozef Youssef.

Joining them is a beloved "Harry Potter" star, Devon Murray.

[Carla] Hello, bakers.

Welcome to Platform 9 3/4.

We can't wait to see the showpieces you've created

and the classic, British desserts that you've reimagined.

As always, we're judging on story, execution, and taste.

It's time to dig in. You ready, Devon?

I'm always ready to eat.

-[Carla] You brought that with you? -That's a big fork.

All right, let's go try our first dessert.

Look at this.

[Jozef] Ooh, the phone box that visitors entrance to

the Ministry of Magic. -[Carla] I love the colors.

We get the story.

You get the first part of the story.

-[gasping] -[pop]

So we have the Ministry of Magic inside.

See, those are the interdepartmental memos.

Yeah.

Interdepartmental memos. We used to use owls.

The mess was unbelievable.

In terms of execution, I love the door opening.

I love the tiles. Loved how they're lined up.

[Jozef] Inside, you've got the statue, great detailing on it.

I love the fabric, the way that kind of falls.

I don't know if you're getting a little waft of mint there,

because I believe that Harry was awaiting judge-mint.

-[laughing] -[Jozef] The mint smells great.

[Jozef] I mean, it's very appetizing, isn't it?

-Bring out your fork, Devon. -He's ready.

I'm ready. I'm locked and loaded.

-Get it out. -[Molly] We got Battenberg.

-[Carla] Battenberg. -[Devon] Classic.

-[Molly] Yes. -[Priya] So, we decided to take a little bit of creative license

and go with a chocolate mint Battenberg with a mint

vanilla-bean ganache and a chocolate marzipan as well

with mint.

[Carla] Let me just say, beautiful Battenberg.

I think it is even. You have the classic checkerbox.

[Jozef] The texture of the sponge is great.

The marzipan, even the thickness of that,

you've got it kind of spot on, so great job.

[Devon] It's amazing.

I don't get as much mint as I was expecting.

I get more mint from the aromatherapy

than from the cake.

Even though the Ministry of Magic was formed in 1707,

this is a great, fresh take on a Battenberg.

-Oh, thank you. -That's really sweet. Thank you.

[orchestral music plays]

-The Weasley car. -[Jozef] Yes.

Look at this. The color of it is absolutely perfect.

I love the lights on the back of it.

You can tell that the car is taking flight, but also all of

this beautiful work of the tunnels and the rocks

and the grass.

[Jozef] Your execution on it is great, but I think as we go higher up

to the car, the finishing on certain things isn't as clean

as what I see with the bottom half of the piece.

But we know exactly by looking at this what part of the story

you're trying to tell us.

-[gasps] -[Jozef] Hey.

-Wait, what? -Oh!

[gasp] -- oh!

[Jozef] So, your tasting element was rhubarb crumble.

[Rui] The tasting element is a book.

It's rounded with custard, and then it has a streusel

underneath and an inverse verification of rhubarb

and hibiscus on top. -Hang on, what?

This is all going over my head here, but I just hope

it tastes good.

[Rui] So the sphere is liquid inside, so whenever you

break it with a fork, it will flow. -[Jozef] Like so.

-Oh. -Yes, there you go.

-That is amazing. -[Jozef] What's the cooling?

Something menthol-y in there?

There is a cooling agent on it.

-Oh, yes. -I can feel it on the top of my palate.

-Can you not feel a coolness? -Ha-ha!

Really cool. I love the crumble.

Once again, you've given us a lot of things to experience.

All right, thank you.

-Oh, this looks amazing. -Look at this.

-This looks incredible. -[Carla] I'm loving the chrome.

[Carla] I'm loving the leather work.

It definitely gives that magical aura that

Hagrid's bike has.

The clouds and the plumes of smoke.

Very nice.

-[Carla] Oh. -[Devon] That is really cool.

-[Carla] Oh. -[Jozef] Wow.

I think you've put so much time and effort into this incredible motorbike.

What's with the gas tank cap?

right now, it just looks like Hagrid is riding around

with a mince pie on his bike.

So I'm not gonna lie, it's probably one of my least

favorite things to try. My father loves it -- me, no.

Actually, he told us he's terrified of this tasting.

Let's put me out of my misery.

[Carla] All right, Katie, let's taste it.

[Jujhar] We have our classic mino pate sucree.

We have a brandy cremeux topped with the classic mince filling.

-Look at that... -Ugh.

-...it's so good. -[laughing].

[Jozef] All eyes are on you.

[anticipatory music plays]

That is banging.

-[cheering] -[laughing]

Generally, the ones I've tasted have been terrible.

-Sorry, Grandma. -I'm sorry, my auntie.

-No, my auntie. -Your auntie?

My auntie makes them for everybody.

Everybody says she's amazing, but this is...

Well, she's gonna find out she's not.

[Carla] First of all, the pastry, the short crust

is delicious. It's not overly brandied.

You guys have managed to pack in a very authentic flavor

of mince pie.

I think you've done an amazing job.

You've definitely nailed the story here.

We get that it's Hagrid's bike, which was owned

by Sirius Black, I have to point out.

You know more about "Harry Potter" than I know.

-Well, there you go. -You're putting me to shame.

[Jozef] In terms of your execution, you bring

your concepts to life.

And in terms of taste, it was really, really well done.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

[Carla] Oh, the Underground White Hall public toilet.

[Devon] So if anyone had told me that I was going to be coming here

and eating a cake that looked like a toilet, I do not think

I would have been here. -He wouldn't have brought such a big fork.

[laughing]

That toilet needs a little bit of a cleanup.

But I really like it.

I mean, it's an underground toilet.

I mean, in terms of execution, now, there are some joints that

aren't really lined up properly.

I just want to point that out.

[Jozef] I love the way you've incorporated those

Ministry of Magic colors.

-You've told that story really nicely. -[exhales]

I'm gonna ask you now about the illusion of movement.

I'm kind of scared to see what it does.

We have a flushing toilet.

-[gurgling] -[Jozef] Ooh!

-Toilet's flushing. -[laughing]

[Jozef] Victoria sponge come down the floo.

[Devon] I'm extremely excited to try this.

[Jozef] Thank you.

[Alex] It is the classic Victoria sponge cake, but we wanted

to give it a twist.

We decided to make it almond with brown butter.

Also, whipped white chocolate ganache and raspberry gel.

-[splat] -[gasps]

[laughing]

Um, there is vanilla on the inside.

The floor's really enjoying it.

[Carla] But look at this.

-It looks incredible. -[Carla] Isn't that beautiful?

What say you, Devon-with-your-own-fork?

[Jozef] I can't tell from your face, but how are we feeling

about this one?

I'm really, really enjoying this.

The tartness of it is incredible.

As nice as it is, I do not think I would ever be able

to finish that.

Well, you can put yours down, half of it down there

with mine. -[laughing]

I love that it's -- one -- it's not too sweet.

Also, every layer has all of the bits.

You can have any part of this. This is a perfect bite.

Can I just ask, is Devon going to get to try

that toilet paper? -[Jenny] You've got to give it a pull.

[Jenny] Yeah, just give it a tug.

-[laughing] -[Jozef] Go on, go on.

[Devon] It's different. I'm having a lot of firsts today.

[laughing]

-[Jenny] Thank you. -[Carla] Clean up on aisle two.

The Knight Bus.

-[Jozef] I see moving wheels. -Oh, yes.

Oh, oh, yes. Magic.

-[Carla] Yes. -[Devon] Wow.

Illusion of movement, top marks.

I love that the lights create this movement.

[Jozef] Great detailing on the side of the bus as well.

-[Carla] Yes. -Very clean, very nice

and sharp, and that's where it contrasts,

then, you see with me, other parts of it.

The kind of mossy grass and everything that

we have here.

[Carla] I think, like, a little more color in there, like,

lights and darks and highlights.

And now it's time. Well, Devon has his fork.

-You ready for this? -I'm ready and waiting.

[Carla] Treacle tart is one of my favorites.

And just in case you don't like it, it's one of

Harry's favorite. -All right.

-Well, I've never tried this. -I can't wait to try it.

[Kate] The treacle tart, it's reimagined in the style

of a mille-feuille.

The shortbread crust layered with the treacle filling,

a thin layer of custard.

[tapping]

[Jozef] I would say, the mille-feuille layers

could have been thinner.

There's quite a bit you've got to get in in one scoop.

I'm getting, obviously, a lot of lemon.

-Very, very sweet. -OK.

It's so strong and sweet, but...

Now, wouldn't you love this with a cup of tea?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Story-wise, you guys have transported us to that scene

in "The Prisoner of Azkaban."

On the execution, some detailing is really,

really wonderful, I think there's other little bits

that need to be elevated to come to the same level

of what you guys clearly are capable of.

In terms of taste, I did like the idea of taking

a treacle tart and turning it into a mille-feuille format,

but would I spend my 11 sickles for my Knight ride

on this piece?

I'm not quite so sure. -Mm.

-[Andy] Hey, guys. -[Devon] Hey, how are you doing?

So, I know this is the Vanishing Cabinet.

[Stefan] The Vanishing Cabinet was hidden under the cloth

in the Room of Requirement.

[Carla] Oh, oh, oh.

-[Carla] Oh, oh. -[Jozef] Wow.

-Oh, my god. -[Jozef] We've been transported.

[Jozef] Well, it's all the kind of little knickknacks that

you'd expect to see in Borgin & Burkes.

-[Devon] Exactly. -And what I really liked was a little bit of kind of

showmanship, the theatre of removing the veil from over

the Vanishing Cabinet. -You love a bit of show.

I do, yeah, I love a bit of show.

-I do, I do, I love it. -Me too, me too.

And it actually does kind of add to the story,

-Yeah, and this does. -[Carla] You have executed this beautifully.

So, for the tasting element, we decided to take the classic

British dessert of Eton mess and turn it into an eyeball,

which is fitting for the kind of thing you'd find

in Borgin & Burke. -[Jozef] Exactly.

OK, Devon, I'm afraid to ask, do you like Eton mess?

-I absolutely adore Eton mess. -Oh, my gosh, thank you.

Ah, there we go. We got a win.

So, how have you gotten an Eton mess into an eyeball?

[Stefan] So, actually, we've done a clotted cream ganache,

strawberry compote in the center of the eyeball.

We've also done a strawberry consommé, and then what we also

have is a tarragon cremeux.

Well, I've eaten a lot of weird things today,

and now I'm gonna have an eyeball.

So, uh, this has been eye-opening.

-[laughing] -Very good.

[anticipatory music plays]

[Devon] Mm.

[Carla] You don't need any words. This is the story right here.

-I'm loving this. -[Carla] I know you are.

My mouth is currently exploding.

[Jozef] The tarragon cream, don't know if it's needed.

See, I like herbs with my fruit, which makes it

interesting and new and fresh.

In terms of execution, there are so many things

to appreciate.

The taste in itself transported us to a moment

in time and season.

If I had to change one thing, I would make it easier

to cut into. -It's an Eton mess.

It needs to be messy.

No, I actually, yeah, and you think I play

Slytherin's advocate. And it's an Eton mess.

It needs to be more tidy.

All I know is we have seen six incredible showpieces

and we've eaten a lot of incredibly tasty elements.

Thank you. And then, dude,

take that plate and lick it, come on.

-Come on. -[train whistle blows]

[James] What an incredible challenge, well done.

The standard is just getting higher and higher.

But there can only be one winning team.

Devon's fork has spoken.

The bakers who impressed the judges the most...

and have earned an advantage they can use next time

are...

Andy and Stefan.

-No way. -[clapping]

[indistinct]

[Andy] I am really shocked

seeing it and knowing, like, they actually do like it.

[Stefan] But not just only did they like it, but compared to

all the other pieces, amongst that level of talent,

is just, yeah, incredible. Can't believe it.

Yeah. We're one step closer to

the Wizards of Baking trophy.

Congratulations, Andy and Stefan.

You're gonna find out what your advantage is soon enough,

and we promise it'll be worth the wait.

-Mm-hmm. -OK.

Unfortunately, the adventure will come to an end for one of

our two bottom teams.

[Jozef] Rui and Angel, you really did impress us

with your creativity.

The finishing on certain things wasn't as clean as what I see

with the rest of your work.

Heather and Kate, the illusion of movement

was great -- unfortunately, that lemon curd

was a little overpowering,

and the finishing wasn't quite on point.

You have all been amazing contestants.

Sadly, for one of you teams, this will be the end

of the run.

[exhales]

The team leaving the competition is...

[suspenseful music builds]

[music ceases]

Heather and Kate.

[overlapping sighs of group]

We are truly sorry that your time on "Wizards of Baking"

ends here. -Thank you.

-[Kate] Bye, guys. -Bye, guys.

[clapping]

This is how the cards have fallen, and I'm OK with that.

I walked in here a nervous first-timer.

Walking out, I am just really,

really grateful for the experience.

The only way to know if you can do something is to try it,

and I'm proud of myself for doing that.

[Oliver] Bakers, come on down to potions class.

[Rui] Wow. Amazing, isn't it?

[James] Your challenge -- pick any two objects, then recreate them

exactly as edible show pieces.

-[Andy] Oh. -[Stefan] OK, no handles.

[heavy breathing]

You have to guess which two are edible.

A game of Draco or Faco.

-Oh. -Ah.

I've done skeletons, but nothing like this before.

[Angel] If I don't have the sharp edges, it will not

fool the judges.

I think I've spotted the edible items.

[thwack, thwack]

-[Carla] You fooled me. -[Jozef] I'm super impressed.

You better shut your face.
