This Thursday, “Good Morning America” offers a blend of the magical and the heartwarming. First up, celebrity chef Carla Hall joins the GMA crew to discuss the new Food Network competition, “Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking.” For fans of both elaborate desserts and the boy who lived, this segment looks to be a sweet treat. Hall is expected to offer insights into the show’s challenges, perhaps revealing which spells might help a soufflé rise or a cake avoid a soggy bottom.
“Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking,” hosted by James and Oliver Phelps (the Weasley twins themselves), sees aspiring bakers competing on some of the most recognizable sets from the film franchise. One can only hope the Great Hall is involved, though whether the house-elves will be assisting with the washing up is anyone’s guess.
Beyond the world of Hogwarts, “GMA” turns its attention to its own history with “GMA at 50: Baby oh Baby: Where Are They Now?” This segment revisits the stories of babies born live on the show over two decades ago. Viewers will get an update on these now-young adults, offering a touching look at how their lives have unfolded since their 15-second debut. It’s enough to make even the most cynical morning show viewer shed a tear.
“Good Morning America” airs weekdays from 7:00-9:00 a.m. EDT on ABC.
