Hosts James and Oliver Phelps welcome eight pairs of talented pastry wizards to the Great Hall, and with the help of the Sorting Hat, assign the teams into the four Hogwarts Houses. The bakers are challenged to create a massive showpiece that is inspired by their assigned house, and the teammates must collaborate to make one tasting element. Expert culinary judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef decide which bakers will move on to the next challenge.
