Feast Your Eyes Upon This Sweet Challenge–Only at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter

As part of their current Sweets and Treats exhibit, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter is offering a challenge to visitors. From now until September 6th, fans can take part in a guessing game to decide whether or not the goodies on display are real.

Snitchseeker, via an unspecified source, reports:

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter has recreated real and replica versions of recognisable treats from the Harry Potter film series; challenging fans to see if they can tell the difference between prop fakes and real bakes.

In celebration of Sweets and Treats opening at the Studio Tour for the first time this summer, expert cake maker Mary Luther, who worked behind the scenes on the Harry Potter film series, has remade edible versions of the prop sweets which were used during production.

Set against the backdrop of the iconic Great Hall, memorable for its mountainous feasts enjoyed by the students of Hogwarts, the sweets include dainty meringue swans, a mouth-watering strawberry and chocolate fudge cake, a sumptuous apple pie, miniature fruit tartlets and even some shiny red apples.

While all of the food items used during production looked delicious, they weren’t all as edible as they may have seemed! The Prop Department were often asked to recreate replica versions of some of the food which Mary’s team had baked, as the edible versions melted or spoiled under the hot studio lights (the real versions were saved for scenes where actors were shown eating).

Until Sunday 6th September, film fans are invited to spot the difference between real bakes and prop fakes at the Studio Tour as they get up close to original artefacts and see edible delights being created during Sweets and Treats.

Those who are unable to visit the Studio Tour may also take part in another “sweet” challenge Warner Bros. is offering. Design your own “sweet treat packaging” and tweet the picture to @wbtourlondon for a change to have your packaging reimagined by MinaLima, the graphic designers of the Harry Potter films. The competition runs until August 24, 2015, but is only open to UK residents. For full details, please visit the Warner Bros. Studio Tour website.
