Also new this season, hosts James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) are joined by two new Ministers of Baking, cake royalty Duff Goldman and celebrated pastry chef Sarah Mountain who will judge the teams’ showpieces and determine which House will earn the trophy and a once-in-a-lifetime VIP trip to Warner Bros.

THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH
Premieres 25 November

The Slightest Touch is an intimate HBO Original documentary film about the power of friendship, featuring Emma Fogarty and Colin Farrell. Emma Fogarty has spent her life defying expectations. Born with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), an extremely rare and devastating condition that causes her skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch, Emma refuses to be defined by her disease. Instead, she has built a life marked by resilience, purpose, and an unwavering determination to live on her own terms. As she turns 40, an age doctors once believed she would never reach, Emma and her longtime friend Colin Farrell embark on the challenge of completing the Dublin Marathon together. After running the full marathon himself, Colin joins Emma for the final four kilometers, pushing her wheelchair one kilometer for each decade that she has lived with EB. Behind this remarkable feat lies the story of an enduring friendship. Anchored by Emma’s courage and vibrant spirit, the film is a moving celebration of friendship, community, and the extraordinary strength found in human connection.

She defrauded hundreds of art investors and was wanted by Interpol for years. Now, she is standing trial.
