Disappointing that all the bakers are the same I’ve seen on so many other baking shows.  It’s hard to root for someone you’ve seen so many times before.  They couldn’t find new bakers for this? It’s fun seeing the HP sets and actors though.

I'm actually enjoying this show because the bakes are all incredibly impressive.  Better than, for example, Holiday Wars.  Even though we've seen most of these bakers before, they're all incredibly talented and creative and it shows.

But man what is up with Carla on this show, it's like someone gave her a bottle of quaaludes.  She is popular because of her fun, lively personality; I assume she's trying to match the energy of her co-host but her weird, deliberate and super-serious delivery of every syllable feels so phony.

I am really enjoying this show because the bakers have shown such excellence, plus seeing all the Harry Potter stuff is cool.  Yes, most of these bakers have been on other shows but I suspect there are only a few truly elite bakers who love competition who are willing to invest their time in this competition - didn't one of the guys say he won School of Chocolate - another great competition show?

The Weasley twins are so cute.  I know they aren't really the Weasley twins (the Phelps twins) but that is what I think of when I see them.
