Fans of Harry Potter will find many familiar sights, as the series was filmed at some of the original sets where the wizarding world was brought to life on screen, reports the Express.

The competition premieres on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland on December 17, with an initial run of six episodes.

All episodes should be available to stream simultaneously, but the grand finale won't air until December 24.

The competition gets underway with a feature-length episode where nine teams of pastry chefs and cake artists are challenged to create edible showpieces inspired by moments and themes from the Harry Potter saga.

Every week, the culinary artists will craft stunning creations that not only tantalise the taste buds but also provide visually captivating and unexpected elements.

The trailer kicks off with the contestants appearing awestruck as they step into Hogwarts, but they are quickly snapped back to reality as the frantic baking commences.
