Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, England.

Home of the iconic "Harry Potter" movies,

and now the home of the world's most

magical baking competition.

Oh my God.

So far, our baking wizards have proven their cauldrons are

bubbling over with creativity.

- Oh. - That's cool.

Last time, Jujhar and Katie emerged top of

the potions class and won a big advantage.

And Angel and Rui bid us farewell.

Coming up, the bakers explore another corner of

the "Harry Potter" universe, the legendary Diagon Alley.

Critiquing our bakers, are best-selling food writer

and chef Carla Hall, and molecular gastronomer

Chef Jozef Youssef.

- Ah. - And how will our bakers react to a shocking twist

in the story?

No.

Hello, bakers.

- Hello. - Hi.

The grand final is now in sight.

And Oliver and I have a little confession to make.

We solemnly swear we've been up to no good.

Uh-oh.

The "Harry Potter" series is steeped in triumphant returns.

Hagrid's release from Azkaban.

Harry's resurgence after the Battle of Hogwarts.

Even the return of you-know-who was celebrated by some.

- Mm. - Hm...

So we wonder how you would all feel if some beloved characters

were to... re-emerge?

Oh...

Oh, my god.

Please welcome back the reigning "Wizards of Baking"

champions, Zoe and Jordan. - Hey, everybody.

So, I'm genuinely shocked that Zoe and Jordan have just walked

through the Floo Network, and obviously, we've got a lot

of admiration for them. They're season one champions.

They're the people we want to emulate.

An amazing surprise, a really cool surprise.

- Long time no see. - Hello.

- Yeah. - My first thought is, "They're here to judge us.

They're the guest judges."

How's life been, though, since being crowned

"Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking" champions?

- Great. - Well, thank you.

Doesn't feel that long, honestly.

Feels like we were just here.

And it looks like you may know some of the people out here.

Yes. Hi, Jen.

Jenny and I go back quite a few years.

We've hung out together. We've actually competed together

on shows, and she very kindly took my cat for me

when I moved from the UK to New York.

So you're good, you're very good friends, I think?

She trusted me with her fur-baby,

for goodness sake. - I did.

But, bakers, Zoe and Jordan are not here to simply

wish you well.

This season, to be the best...

...you're going to have to beat the best.

- No. - Oh, no.

No way.

Wow.

From here on in, they are in the competition to try to

defend their title. - Wow.

- What? - Thanks for the addition.

Jenny, why are you wiping away tears?

Because I'm furious with her.

Are you kidding me?

We are against them?

I know what Zoe and Jordan can do.

- They won last year-- . - They are so talented.

Please go and join your fellow competitors.

We are not gonna be loved.

I know how I would feel if I were them.

Looking around at our competitors,

that's a little intimidating. The skill has gone up.

I want to rise to that challenge.

And to win again would be unreal.

This is colossal news for you all.

What we need now is a super-sized challenge.

We want you to blow up a famous "Harry Potter" object

to truly preposterous proportions.

And because they probably won't fit in a regular room,

you'll be presenting them on the famous cobbles

of Diagon Alley. - Ahh.

At each of your stations, you'll find

a wizarding artifact you must supersize.

Just like when Hagrid first showed Harry the delights

of Diagon Alley, your showpieces must reveal

something from within.

You have six hours to complete this super-sized challenge.

- Let the baking begin. - It's my turn.

This is the wizard's chess queen piece.

One of the trials of "The Philosopher's Stone."

- Wow. - And the first trial of Zoe's.

I'm gonna need to build her.

- Maybe not quite as big as me?. - Yeah, that's big.

Lucius Malfoy's Death Eater mask.

Super-sized? This is big already.

It's gonna take a lot of cake. A lot of cake.

And it's gonna be really heavy.

You win the quidditch match.

Everybody who has seen "Harry Potter" knows the symbol

of the snitch.

It definitely adds a little bit of pressure.

You catch this, Potter,

and we win.

Whoa.

We're gonna need some structure inside, I think.

- Yeah, definitely. - To hold the wings,

because there's gonna be white everywhere.

We are making a Golden Snitch with a five-foot wingspan

and the main sphere cast in chocolate.

Priya will cast the main part of the sphere,

and I will work on the decorative elements

of the sphere in modeling chocolate and cake.

And gold, gold, gold, everything.

- Everything's gonna be gold. - OK.

We're gonna be covered in gold.

- Yeah, we are. - That is actually beautiful.

- Look at the detail. - It is so pretty.

Yes, there's a lot of writing on this.

We have the Slytherin locket.

It was owned by Salazar Slytherin,

and it was turned into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

- It's probably one of my strong suits that I can bring to this. - Yeah, awesome.

I can really get all that detail in there.

Chocolate frog made of 70% real "Croakoa."

- Nice, a lot of chocolate. - "Watch out, they hop!"

Watch it.

- Whoa, there it is. - OK, it didn't jump.

It is chocolate.

You're gonna be making this from solid chocolate.

- Exactly. - I'm gonna be carving the frog

out of cake. - And removable panels...

So they can see the frog inside.

So, I think we've got our reveal sorted now, right?

- Attention bakers! - Oh, my gosh.

We solemnly swear this is the final surprise.

- No. - Oh, no.

If you all look underneath your museum boxes,

you will find that we have secretly and randomly placed

a small surprise for you. - Ooh.

Some of the most famous wizarding sweets around--

Bertie Bott's Every-Flavored Beans.

Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor Beans?

They mean every flavor.

There's chocolate and peppermint,

and there's also spinach, liver, and tripe.

George sweared he got a bogey-flavored one once.

OK.

Once you've identified your flavor, you need to

incorporate it into your delicious tasting elements.

The judges will be marking your showpieces

on execution and taste.

Let's hope you don't get vomit, earthworm,

or earwax. - Quite like that one.

- It's my favorite. - I know exactly what that is.

Yeah, that's definitely curry.

Your Bertie Bott's bean flavor is...

Marshmallow. OK, that's good.

- Ew. - Oh, my gosh.

Your Bertie Bott's bean flavor is baked beans.

It smells buttery.

Your Bertie Bott's flavor is toast.

This is a great flavor for baking.

It reminds me of being in the garden.

Yeah. It's, like, leafy.

Grass, Molly.

That's why it reminds me of being in the garden.

Sorry, the taste is still... .

So this is gonna be a yeast-infused cake.

It's gonna be all about toast.

For our tasting element, Katie and I are going to make

this toasted milk cake.

We're gonna actually toast the sponge layers.

We're gonna add a yeast simple syrup, an apple chutney,

sourdough crunch, we have a buttercream which has

a toasted meringue and a little bit of malt added as well.

I'm thinking, because it's a face, it'll be really funny

to cut it out of the nose.

I have never worked with wheatgrass before, but I know

that sometimes you can get a shot of it in a smoothie.

What can you do with grass, apart from blend up

a lot of grass and put it in a cake?

When I think of a grassy, earthy flavor profile,

my mind goes straight to matcha.

Our tasting element is gonna be the resurrection stone,

which will be hidden inside the snitch for the stone.

I'll be making a matcha mousse and a raspberry gelée

with a pistachio matcha, feuilleton crunch,

and wheatgrass simple syrup to soak my sponge.

It'll be great for anyone who likes matcha very much-a.

Our flavor bean is grass, and I'm gonna make sure

the judges taste it. - That looks great.

I'm getting as much cake stacked on here as quickly

as I can, because then the fun stuff can happen.

We're gonna make a four-foot-wide chocolate frog

box, and we're gonna have a massive chocolate frog inside.

What I want to do is just get as much on here as possible,

cover the whole thing in ganache.

Just making an enormous, big-ass chocolate frog.

Jenny and Alex.

Jenny, I've got to start with your face when Zoe

walked through that Floo Network.

Did you ask Zoe for advice or anything before you came on?

She was really cagey.

She said to me, "Oh, no, don't make me run through it

all again, you know, it was so tiring." - Wow.

So now I know why. The mini minx.

So what did you used to do before you started baking?

I did a degree in fine art and textiles, and ended up

teaching art and design to kids at high school.

You have to be quite bossy to teach high schoolers,

and if the situation is really tense,

the bossy teacher in me comes out.

The chocolate frog is probably top of anyone's list who's ever

seen or read anything to do with "Harry Potter."

If someone was gonna make me a four-foot chocolate frog...

I'd be scared to death.

No, I think I'd be thrilled. Happy Christmas.

- Here's a chocolate frog. - Wow.

Mum, if you're watching, that's what I'd like

for Christmas. - A four-foot chocolate frog.

Interesting. That might be that.

I think the tomatoes are in the fridge.

Ever since our win, Zoe did promise that she'd come visit

where I work. - I had the most amazing

50th birthday weekend there--

super memorable, and we had such a great time

just seeing you operate in your world.

We have a great friendship.

How does it feel to be back in the kitchen?

It feels like yesterday we were in here,

but the kitchen does not feel like that.

Zoe, you know I love you, but I'm gonna do everything

to stop you. You know that, don't you?

- Wow, OK. - I wasn't expecting that.

Because I know what she can do.

Can I have a little stepladder?

Is that possible, please?

Since the last season of "Wizards of Baking,"

I have actually immersed myself in the world

of traditional art and sculpture.

It feels like they've upped the ante this year,

don't you think? - Yeah, I think so.

The queen is essentially going to be cake.

It just is a beast. It's tall, it's complicated.

It's beginning to feel like me versus the queen.

That is not right. Something's not right.

The waist wasn't in the right place, I've just realized.

I am not in my groove, and I am making rookie errors.

Zoe's cake's falling off her showpiece.

Jordan, I am behind.

Suddenly, I feel very rusty.

- I'm obviously not up to speed. - Keep pushing.

- It's twisting so much. - We got it.

Can I have the medic, please? Ooh, that hurts.

2 I just need medic. Don't want to get blood everywhere.

Yeah, do it tight, because I'm gonna be getting it wet.

Yeah.

I'm starting to worry that we may not have a queen piece.

- Thank you. - You and me both.

The stress is mounting.

I don't want to be going home on the first challenge.

That's embarrassing. I don't want to do that.

I don't want to put Jordan in that position.

Oh, my god, I'm out of practice.

Can you tell?

Almost like first episode all over again.

But worse.

So I took all the rice cereal stuff off because it kept

falling, went back in with cake and a whole load of ganache.

Come on, Zoe.

I mean, I've literally got my hands in it at this point.

- Yeah, you do. - This is a whole new ball game.

We have more to prove.

I just don't understand how I'm gonna get this finished.

- It's a genuine concern. - You got it.

- Keep going. - OK.

Only four hours to wring some flavor out of

your Bertie Bott's Every-Flavored Beans.

Oh, yeah, I got a little whiskey, nice.

- . - Awesome.

I'm really glad that we got marshmallow, because we could

have ended up with some weird Bertie Bott's flavor,

like rotten egg or, I don't know, grass.

For our tasting element, we're gonna make

an emerald bonbon.

Now, we're taking inspiration from the central piece

of the locket, where it has these beautiful

green gemstones, and we think that that could be

a really great place to put

our tasting element. - Nice.

Beautiful.

These green gemstones have a beautiful shine of green

cocoa butter, a passion fruit shell, a Thai basil

and passion fruit gel, a Thai basil marshmallow.

Andy, what do you think?

It's a bit sweet, so don't eat all of that, but...

- Delicious. - That's herbaceous,

and then obviously the gelatin will give it that...

That marshmallow we're looking for.

And then a coconut crunchy, and that will be

our finished bonbon.

Oh, these are beautiful.

Oh, yes, those are perfect.

All right, guys, how's it been going?

It's been good. We've been doing well.

- Do we all like each other? - We all love each other.

- Do we? - Oh, Jenny, we all love each other.

Who's won a challenge?

We're the only ones who haven't won anything yet.

Well, you know what? Me and Zoe didn't win

until the semifinal. - Really?

- So you're in good company, Molly. - Yeah.

So now what I want to do is get that lovely

chocolate frog texture.

So I'm now covering him with some really nice

dark chocolate modeling chocolate.

With creatures, I use my art background.

To bring that character to life, you're gonna have to

think about skin texture.

Whether it has a leathery skin or shiny skin, it's a lot

of pressure. But this is my thing.

This is massive. I can't even reach the top.

But I'll get a ladder. Or I'll use Jujhar.

It's gonna be very ambitious, because his mask is

deep on the side. It's really large.

So that's gonna be a lot of cake.

Our showpiece has to reveal something from within.

So we've got these two levers that are gonna pull out,

and it will reveal the snake tail and the snake face.

We are trying to fill this with cake and cake and cake

and layers of cake, and it has to be amazing.

Oh, Jujhar, Jujhar, while you're up there, can you change

some bulbs for us, please? - Ahh.

This is taking a lot of time, but there's so much

to do still. - I don't know if you feel the same,

but I'm starting to get a little stressed out.

We don't know if we're gonna finish this challenge.

- He's so big. - Bakers!

We are approaching the halfway mark in your challenge.

And I did say that there were no more surprises.

- Oh, come on. - Little liar.

- You fibber. - But I didn't.

- Oh, smokey, smokey, smokey. - Oh.

- Uh-oh. - Oh, oh, no.

Look who's joining us as our guest judge tonight.

One half of Hogwarts' other famous twins,

Padma Patil herself, Afshan Azad.

She's so beautiful.

She's so glamorous. She is gorgeous.

I'm relieved she's not a competitor as well.

Oh, my goodness, yeah.

Well, you had some great moments in

the "Harry Potter" movies.

- You survived joining Dumbledore's Army. - Yep.

You survived the Battle of Hogwarts.

And most impressively of all, you survived going to

the Yule Ball with Ron.

Are you going to ask me to dance or not?

No.

- That didn't end well. - You were genuinely upset?

Yeah, I actually want to dance.

I went through the dancing lessons with you guys,

but Ron didn't ask me to dance in the end, so it was

all wasted. - Well, maybe...

Is there a baker here who could perhaps

dance right now with Afshan?

Stefan, come on, come on, you come down there.

Come down with Afshan, she'll have to do it.

- Come on. - Er...

Er... What do we do?

Here we go, here we go, here we go.

Wow.

Look at that.

So, I'm there, I'm dancing with one of the Patil sisters,

and who am I to pass up this opportunity?

I'm just gonna do what I used to do at school dances,

just stand on the end.

That's what I've waited 20 years for.

- Yeah, good job, Stefan. - That's my partner right there.

That's my partner. Cries.

Afshan, did you happen to bring any surprises with you?

Well, it's funny that you say that, Ol, because I have this.

Come on.

- I believe this is for you. - For winning the last challenge.

Give it a read.

The "Harry Potter" stories emphasize

the importance of helping those in need.

Friends like Ron and Hermione,

family like the Weasleys,

and even Dobby and Fawkes helped others to overcome

the obstacles they faced. - Of course.

Phoenix tears have healing powers.

Your advantage is chefs Carla and Jozef.

They're gonna help your team for 15 minutes.

We get to work with Carla and Jozef?

- Yes. - But nobody else does?

So just shout "helping hands," and then help will be

on its way. - OK.

- Awesome. - That's amazing.

- Thank you so much. - I'm making wings.

The wings of the Snitch are weird because they look like

very fine metal.

I'm thinking, what if I put great big sheets of wafer paper

and then wet them and then set them so they've got like a base

to stick to? - And now you can just fly.

So I've got these giant domes that I'm gonna put together

to make a very, very large Snitch.

So the Golden Snitch is a complete perfect sphere.

They're huge.

You could make like an igloo with them.

- Right? - You can live in it.

Normally, I work with tiny little bonbons.

The process is the same, but I've really not got a lot

of experience with working in such large structures.

- OK. - Our magical element will be

the snitch opening to reveal

the Resurrection Stone tasting element.

The armature would just open with a hinge like this.

- Tricky. - Look how much.

Oh, my gosh.

We place the armature inside and... it doesn't fit.

- It was too big. - A chocolate sphere is not gonna work.

We've moved on, so we're using cake now instead.

A sphere is always the hardest thing to make out of cake.

The gravity of the bottom half and also the symmetry,

there's no real way of measuring it, so you're

doing it by eye.

This is a losing battle, I'm afraid.

I mean, we gotta put something out there, right?

We're at a bit of a loss, to be honest.

I don't know what else to do. It's just collapsing now.

It's not gonna work. I don't know what else to do.

2 Molly, come talk with me.

The thing I don't want to do is not present anything.

- No, no. - What do we want to present?

We don't want to tap out, it just sucks.

And we are thinking of just anything and everything.

- If you can stick them together... - Mm-hmm.

is there a way of blending the seams

and then we can go straight on

with modeling chocolate? - Absolutely.

- And then gold it all. - Yeah.

So all we have is essentially a chocolate dome,

which is better than nothing.

If we can lop this off and set it in the middle, we can use

this structure to attach the wings.

Just drill holes in, the wings go in.

Competitions get tough, and you always have to pivot.

I'm a bit of a good problem-solver, I think.

We're only using this armature for the wings.

- Just like that. - Now we have a snitch with wings.

- OK. - Take it back off.

- Better than nothing. - Yes.

Can we make the point face...

forward? - Oh, no, no, no.

You're right. Square.

Nice, nice, nice.

We still need to have the revealing element,

and now it's one solid sphere.

How are we gonna get the dessert out?

You know what?

That's future Molly and Priya's problem.

At least we can go out with a bang.

Yeah.

Even darker. Seriously.

- Really? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Oh, yeah. - Because we want them to not realize

that's the tasting element. - For the tasting element,

the frog eyeballs are a curry bonbon

with curry caramel ganache, also a roasted peanut nougat,

and it's gonna be covered in chocolate.

Two hours remaining.

Look at me. Look at me for a second.

I need you to talk to me about what we're doing,

because you're doing things without consulting,

and that's so good, but I don't know what we're doing, OK?

We are behind, and I am really stressed, and honestly, I think

that this is the time that we need...

our advantage. - Yes.

- Helping hands? - Helping hands.

- I don't have a wand. - Fear not, bakers.

For the next 15 minutes, Jujhar and Katie will be

assisted by two talented chefs you will all recognize.

- Who is it? - Wow.

It's culinary superstar Jozef Youssef

and world-renowned chef Carla Hall.

You're kidding me, man.

I'm so happy to see you in chef coats.

You've got us for 15 minutes. We're coming over.

Thank you.

The timing is absolutely spot-on.

We have four hands.

We need eight hands to smooth this huge mess.

- Yes. - OK.

- We're shaving off chocolate. - So, like here?

- Yes. - Oh, I see.

That's a Hagrid-sized mask, isn't it?

I've never actually worked on something this big.

- This is a first. - That's unfair.

- I've never scraped chocolate... - Off of a face?

Yeah, I'm actually breaking a sweat.

- Wow, that is some advantage. - Am I doing a good job?

- I think I am. - You're doing a fantastic job.

As judges, we do like constant reaffirmation.

When you judge us, just remember what parts of

this that we do. - That we contributed to.

They're really putting them to work, aren't they?

They really are. Jozef's getting his arm workout in for the day.

- He is, isn't he? - He doesn't need to go to the gym now.

He's gonna be flexing a lot later.

This is a lot of work for just two people.

30 seconds left, Jujhar and Katie,

and help. - But we're having a play date-- no!

I know.

I could really do with four extra hands

and 15 extra minutes. - Yeah, I get that.

That's really bad manners in my house.

Your feet off the table is what they always said.

- Oh, yes, Jozef. - Right?

If you guys win, I mean, it really is because of what it

looks like up here. - Oh, yeah.

This is the gold.

Jujhar and Katie, your 15 minutes are up.

The next time you see them, we'll be down on Diagon Alley

for judging. - Thank you.

- I love that. - This is big.

I'm starting to work on the top part of the locket.

It's gonna be really difficult to get all of those

intricate details that are within this small item

and kind of enlarge them.

Now that I shaped the top of the locket,

I can now ganache it, so I can then fondant it.

The top half is created using puff rice cereal,

fondant, and chocolate.

All good? On there.

I think to go far all the way in this competition,

it will take both of our skill sets working together.

- Teamwork makes the dream work. - Dream work.

We finish each other's...

Sentences.

Stefan and Andy, we've got the Slytherin locket.

- Oh, yeah. - What bean flavor have you got?

- Oh, can we try and guess? - Yes, please guess.

Guess and tell us.

- One, two, three, strawberry. - One, two, three, glue.

- Strawberry? - Strawberry.

- Tastes like glue. - It's marshmallow.

- Mm, of course it is, yeah. - So you get the little bit of glue

in the back of your throat, yeah.

So have you played with these flavors before?

Oh, yeah, so Thai basil is one of my favorite ingredients.

I'm actually pairing that with some passion fruit as well.

We actually use it at the Pan-Asian restaurant

at the hotel that I work. We have seven restaurants,

and I oversee six of those.

Is that why you're always doing this?

- He actually can't sit still. - I really do.

Just think about all the menu changes.

Yeah, it's intense, but I love it.

So, Jordan, this is where the collar's gonna go.

Does that give you enough space here for the head?

- Oh, my god, that looks so cool. - I have to mold a lot.

I have to mold the head, things for the staff,

the hands, the shield.

The list is very, very long, but chocolate excites me,

so I...

I feel like I'm in my own little world now.

We're doing such a big piece, but she's also so fragile.

- She's a chess piece. - This is there.

- It's there. - I think I need to move on to the cake.

- OK. - I'm going to make a baked bean inspired layered cake.

I want to do, like, a baked bean crumble.

I'm gonna dehydrate some beans, toss them in a little bit of

maple syrup and cinnamon so they're nice and crunchy.

It's gonna form a layer.

Once they're in, I'm gonna start on a tomato and honey

cake, and then I'm going to make a white bean buttercream.

My cake is going in the plinth the queen is standing on.

- Zoe. - Hi.

I'm doing the can. I'm doing the beans.

Well done. OK, cool.

It's a tough, tough flavor.

Savory baked beans in tomato sauce in a tin, not designed

to be in a cake.

To accompany the cake, I'm actually gonna make

a can of baked beans.

The beans are going to be a bean praline that we take

some dehydrated beans that are dipped in a white chocolate

dip, and then they're gonna be tossed in the tomato sauce.

And then we're gonna put that in a can.

And it looks just like baked beans, but a sweetened version

that's gonna be sitting in the piece that's gonna reveal

for the judges.

I'm making the chocolate box, and it's a bit tricky.

I have to make a lot of things.

All of the details, the huge panels.

So I need to make... like,

50 chocolate transfers so that I can cover all the box.

I will be making five of the big ones, and I have to

make ten semicircles.

This is really important work because we need it to look

as real as possible.

I made the Christmas village-- a ton of chocolate,

but it took me three months. To do a piece in six hours--

that's difficult.

I'm running around making all the chocolate work

and start assembling them.

Running, running, and more running.

I'm just getting exhausted.

I'm getting little bits of gold on, but I can dust it off.

- Have you got a spare? - No.

Have you got one that's complete?

No, no, no.

2 We don't have the time to make more chocolate.

The one that's most important is this one

round here, remember?

Because remember, the front of the box will be here.

This is the front. So that side.

This one here, Alex, this side's the most important.

The judges are gonna be viewing it from the front,

so I then make the decision to prioritize the front.

That's it, that side.

Katie, can you spin the piece, please?

Hey, Katie, can you spin the 400-pound piece?

That's what Jujhar just asked me.

For our reveal from within, we're gonna have two snakes

come from the eyes.

In the middle of the snake, we want to put three

chocolate eggs attached and put them in there

like a little nest. - Cool.

Just ten minutes to go.

That's not enough time.

I need at least another five to get this lattice painted.

It's been really fun working with you.

Oh, you.

If I put this on, will that help you out?

Yeah, I need it for visual.

It's like painting your portrait.

It's weird, you don't have snakes coming

out of your eyes, though.

- Whoa. - Got it, got it, got it.

This is a crazy challenge.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,

three, two, one.

Arresto momentum, your time is up!

- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm all right.

It is just a lot.

Wow.

Oh, this is an incredible scale, guys.

- The detail. - And it's really nice and smoothed out.

Yeah, you must have had some real good help.

We did.

The best this side of the Atlantic.

Thank you.

So we asked you to reveal something from within.

Take a look.

- Ooh. - Oh, wow.

Whoa.

We have a snake holding some eggs.

- What? - Oh, my goodness.

This is super impressive.

That's a real showstopper of a piece that you've got.

I mean, I've never seen anything like this.

For our Bertie Botts bean flavor, we had toast.

We can't wait to try this, guys.

Bring it on.

So, we have a toasted cake.

We added a little bit of yeast in our simple syrup.

We paired it with an apple chutney to add

a little bit of tang.

We added a little bit of sourdough crunch.

And then we did a torched Swiss meringue buttercream.

- Ooh. - I do get that toasted smell.

- It smells of buttered toast. - It smells of buttered toast.

The apple doesn't overpower.

I like the sourdough, but I do think that the sourdough could

have been toasted a little more so that it actually gets

a little crunchier. - I 100% agree with that.

- But does this taste of toast? - Yes.

- Nailed it on that. - Guys.

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm talking with my mouth full, because this is so good.

Thank you.

Overall, I think you've done a wonderful job with this.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hi there. - Hello.

We're whispering because it can hurt us.

I love the detailing that you have with these

lovely green, Slytherin-like emeralds.

Revealing something from within.

The note inside is saying that this is not

the real Slytherin locket.

- Wow. - Wow, oh.

In terms of your execution, I think everything was

really neat. The painting details are great.

But the reveal, I think it's a little simple.

Do I feel this is at the standard of some of

the finishes I know you're capable of?

I'm not quite as sure.

And what Bertie Bott flavor did you guys get assigned?

Marshmallow. So what we have is

a Thai basil marshmallow, we have a Thai basil

passion fruit gel, and finally, a little

coconut crunch inside there as well. - Oh, that's pretty.

I would wear that.

Yeah, that would be a beautiful pendant, yeah.

- Let's go. - Mm.

Wow!

That Thai basil hits you straight away.

There's so much flavor in there.

But do I get marshmallow? Not necessarily.

- Agreed. - Had they been

a couple of bite-sizes rather than one

little bite, yes, you would have been able to get

more marshmallow.

- Thank you. - Thank you, guys.

Right, this is my favorite of all "Harry Potter" artifacts,

the golden snitch. Right, let's see.

Yeah, that's what it should be.

Right, now, the scale and size is great.

I have to say, these wings are looking a little featherless.

Well, let's talk about the body.

The orb, in itself, looks really good.

I think there are some issues where you've joined it

and where you've embellished, but really good finish,

and the color is good.

I just want to say, congratulations,

first and foremost, for even getting this out here.

I saw your struggle in the kitchen.

Well done to you girls.

And where have you hidden this tasting element?

Because we've asked for something to be revealed

from within.

So the Resurrection Stone entremet is inside.

- Wow. - Ooh.

We are gonna have a little bit of a way to get it out.

- OK. - You may need these.

- Oh, my goodness. - What?

Because I'm gonna need this.

- What? - One way or the other, it's gonna...

Oh!

Yeah, I'm definitely putting these on.

- - . - OK, stand back! - I've got you.

Stand back.

2 This might take me a few seconds.

OK, you have a beater's bat. You are really in the game here.

- You get out all your anger. - OK, here we go.

Oh!

- Ah! - Are you in?

- I'm in. - You're in.

I didn't think I'd need safety goggles.

- Oh! - Wow!

How fitting. A Resurrection Stone.

A Resurrection Stone.

What were the Bertie Bott beans that you got?

We got grass.

Grass.

At the very bottom, you've got a crunchy,

pistachio matcha praline.

And then on top of that, a pistachio matcha dacquoise.

I've soaked that with a wheatgrass simple syrup.

You know what I love about this is that you actually

do get grass. - Yeah.

It's that wheatgrass and the matcha coming together

that pairs beautifully with the other flavors

that you've chosen.

All of the textures are really nice.

I personally am not a matcha fan.

And funnily enough, I'm not a grass fan, either.

- However, this is really good. - Thank you.

Execution, it's a little rough-and-ready, but I think

the overall finish of the orb is really nice.

In terms of taste, I think you really handled the grass

very well and balanced it.

Well, I think we should buzz off.

- Thank you. - He gets no points for that.

- None. - Sometimes, the true challenge

is how you kind of persevere.

I think we're indestructible, yeah.

- Like a cockroach. - Woo.

This looks amazing. This is a Croakoa lover's dream.

It looks just like a scaled-up model of the original.

It's incredible. And the smell of chocolate

that you get off of it, I mean, it already smells appetizing.

The box is made out of chocolate.

- Wow. - Wow.

The colors are exactly spot on.

- Thank you. - The attention to detail.

- Is there a word missing here? - Yes.

Unfortunately, because of time, we had to leave off

just a couple of words. - OK.

Well, the challenge is to reveal something from within.

- Yes. - Can you help me, Jozef?

- Yes. - I'm so excited.

Whoa.

- Wow. - Oh my god.

Wow! That frog is massive.

And those lips!

I love those kissable, juicy lips.

Yeah, the color tones and shading that you've used

really do bring the piece to life.

- It's really, really nice. - It's beautiful.

Thank you so much.

What Bertie Botts flavor bean did you get?

- Curry. - Ooh.

I'm a curry expert here, so I am looking forward to this.

You're gonna eat a frog-eye.

- I hope you don't mind. - Oh, wow.

It's made out of 61% chocolate, yellow Thai curry

ganache, and roasted peanut nougat.

Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.

Oh, wow!

That's a good face. That's a good face.

- That's a good face. - I'm so shocked that this works.

I mean, I love a curry, and I love chocolate.

And I don't know, but the nougat, I think,

was a very, very clever thing to do.

I think that just kind of lightens the flavor.

You get the sweet on the top of your tongue,

and then as you swallow, you get the spice

back here. - Yes, yes.

- Are you gonna eat that? - Please.

- Thank you. - That's a way to make a point.

Well, we should hop on out of here.

- Yes. - Well done.

- Welcome back to Diagon Alley. - Right, yeah.

We just couldn't keep you away, huh?

Something like that.

I love all the coloring and detail that you guys

have on here.

For me, the fingers and the way that they're interlocking

and stuff, I think that's... - That was the hardest part.

But you can see a few little imperfections.

The bottom half here, the robe, I mean, there's a lot

of detailing that could have been improved.

- Yeah. - OK, what are you gonna reveal from within?

Our flavor that we got was baked beans.

A very difficult flavor to work with.

- Yeah. - But we thought we would give you a can of baked beans.

- Yum. - OK, all right.

- I can't wait for this. - Oh.

Oh.

- Oh. - Oh, wow.

- Oh wow. - Oh, ohhh.

- There's the beans! - There's our baked beans.

Oh, oh.

- Oh! - There's actually baked beans in here, guys.

So it's a bean praline. Those are the beans themselves.

And then a tomato gel, so there's a little bit of

thyme and spices. - I love that.

- That's super creative. - Right?

That's a great take on being given baked beans.

To come up with that is genius.

So we'll show you the other part, the tasting element.

This is an art in itself.

So it's a spiced tomato cake.

Then I've made a tomato and honey jam with a little bit

of candied ginger.

I've made a bean meringue buttercream.

And then the baked beans, so we give you the texture

of a bean when you bite into it.

It does have a nice, little shell.

It's dipped into some white chocolate.

It is a little weird, but I think it really tastes

like baked beans.

My goodness, you guys have done a wonderful job with

figuring out how to bring these flavors together.

I think the cake is super moist, lovely flavors.

I think the sauce is a little tomatoey, but I think

when you have it all together, it's delicious.

- Thank you. - Guys...

I feel as if the spice in the cake,

it overpowers anything from the beans flavor.

I mean, the texture is really nice with the praline.

The spice in the cake is amazing.

The buttercream,

delicious.

Let's see if it's checkmate for the others.

Bakers,

in the immortal words of Ron Weasley,

that was bloody brilliant.

Afshan, have you enjoyed our little trip

down memory lane?

I've enjoyed it so much, I never thought I'd be here

eating cakes made of grass, toast, baked beans,

but you guys are incredible.

We asked you to deliver showpieces big enough to fill

Diagon Alley, and you all did exactly that.

But there can be only one winning team.

The winning team in this challenge is...

Jenny and Alex.

Good job!

Congratulations.

This gives you a crucial advantage

in the next challenge. - It feels pretty good.

- Yes, it does. - Semi-final's next.

Yay.

That leaves us with Zoe and Jordan,

Molly and Priya,

Andy and Stefan,

Jujhar and Katie.

The "Wizards of Baking" journey is about to end for one of you.

I don't want to be going home on the first challenge.

That's embarrassing. I don't want to do that.

The team leaving the competition tonight is...

...Andy and Stefan.

Stefan and Andy, I just want to say, you all have made this

really hard.

You have been fierce and incredible competitors.

The decision was made because the taste was too small

and we didn't get enough marshmallow.

Thank you for everything that you have given us.

- Truly. - Appreciate it.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you.

I'm walking away with new friends.

So now we are all stuck together as a big, happy family.

And they can't get rid of me.

I think we've both put our heart and soul into this.

We've left everything out.

We couldn't have given anything more, and it just wasn't to be

on the day. So, no regrets.

It's been an amazing experience.

We thought we were going home on that one,

but we made it work.

Now, only four teams remain.

So, we'll see you next time for the semi-finals.

Welcome to Gringotts Wizarding Bank!

For you final four teams, the trophy is in sight.

A special occasion like this requires an extra-special

guest judge-- Mr. Warren Davis!

We want your showpieces to be a beast!

- Ah! - Are you OK? Oh, my god.

- The teeth are perfect. - The teeth are funny.

Ah!

It's pumpkin mousse with a candied bacon.

That's nasty. Whose idea was that?

- Mine. - Are you all right?

Sorry, Dobby.
