It ranked as the number one non-news or sport cable show on Thursday nights for audiences aged 25-54.

The series, which is hosted by James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the movies, comes from Warner Horizon and Next In Fashion producer theoldschool.

Viewers and Potter fans everywhere tuned in to see what these talented artists created each week, and we cannot wait to bring the audience an even more magical second season.”
