Competing On Harry Potter Wizards Of Baking

Date: 2/16/2025

I was at the Making Of Harry Potter in London, to compete in Harry Potter: Wizards Of Baking. I joined my baking partner and watched James and Oliver Phelps introduce the show. My baking partner had depression, and barely spoke. Our time to bake started, and we decided to make ours themed around the floating candles in the Great Hall. My partner suddenly walked off and left me alone. I panicked as I had no idea what I was doing, and had barely made any progress by the time that the time was supposed to be up. One of the judges came over to inspect and was disappointed. She said she would deliberately stall the director to give me more time. One of the other bakers came over to help me turn it into something salvageable. I said I understood it wasn't my baking partner's fault given his depression.
