[@Crimsonfangg]

Warwick Davis was a legend long before Harry Potter was even an idea.

[@Ottawajames]

'Willow' just doesn't have the same draw as it used to.

[@78625amginE]

@@Ottawajames It’s such a bad movie but I still love it. “Aaaaaaanahnahnahnah!”

[@MyrnaandRita]

@@Ottawajames Which is amazing since it's considered a fantasy classic alongside The Princess Bride.

[@MyrnaandRita]

@@78625amginE I'm not sure what you watched, but I still consider Willow a very excellent film.

[@jo-vf8jx]

@@MyrnaandRita Willow is coming back as a TV series on Disney+ in 2202. And Davis is playing Willow once again.

[@scone1025]

That cake flip was one of the bravest things I've seen on this show. I bet the camera people were all gathered around awaiting potential disaster.

[@karasaunty9823]

Warwick Davis: National treasure, global icon and all round great guy. And he can bake!

[@gaymaddox136]

I've thought for a long time that Mr. Davis was a good looking man, but I only just now noticed how nice his hands are.

[@DeeesLife]

right?! I'm sitting here like, damn this man's hands are beautiful! lol

[@ImbibingChina]

I second that! Absolutely. I had the exact same thoughts.

[@AuntK68]

Yes, sitting here thinking how elegant his hands are!

[@MelissaThompson432]

He does have lovely hands.

[@dustinryan1336]

I thought the same. Uncommon to see people of his stature without much smaller hands and fingers

[@newlo879]

0:48 “hello Mary look at these lovely wire racks I’ve made “ 😂🤣

[@panicatthegasstation]

The Head of Ravenclaw House with some sublime baking skills right there.

[@lukebaxter1136]

He should replace shape as potions master.

[@iluvdissheet]

This.....absolutely spot on!

[@AnyCitrusTree]

Props to mr davis, nouveau cuisine is for idiots, a proper cake needs a strong table to bear it's weight, and some good strong builder's brew to wash it down. Hell yeah.

[@ciderfan823]

Ravenclaw is about the books, including recipe books.

[@portaccio]

I love Warwick. He's an absolute national treasure and the sooner he gets a knighthood the better.

[@purrgundy]

You're telling me he DOESN'T have a knighthood?!

[@akycha100]

Warwick Davis has gorgeous hands, expressive, elegant, pianist's hands.

[@Lorenzo-be1nm]

Yeeeees!!!! and one of the most beautiful faces in British acting world!

[@alicedoors4826]

Elegant but very manly

[@AnyCitrusTree]

Love me some Warwick, but pianist's hands, that's an insult.. when anyone mentions pianist's hands and I see spiderlegs.. 😵‍💫

[@petedraper5185]

Warwick always comes across as a thoroughly decent bloke with a great sense of humour. Ricky Gervais tells a great story about Warwick, Johnny Depp and himself on set.

[@beatnikmary]

I had no doubt Warwick would do just fine. He's such a family man on the one hand (so I imagine he can already bake at least somewhat), but such a consummate professional on the other hand, that I have no doubt he'd been practising at home beforehand!

[@scarlettbat]

Adore Warwick! His autobiography is one of the best things ever, so many great stories from having worked in sci fi and fantasy movies since he was 11! and he's just so funny and charming.

[@ciderfan823]

His gran found out about the Star Wars casting call if I recall correctly.

[@flyboy970]

You can’t but help to absolutely love Warwick.

[@truefanforum3273]

I don't care how many other roles Mr. Davis has had, he will always be Willow to me. I love that movie!

[@pennyforyourthoughts1]

Anyone else see Warwick and instantly think of Willow and not Harry potter??

[@tracybabe]

Yes!

[@victoriaatha7292]

100%

[@theafarmer8531]

Nowadays I just think of him in the picture with Carrie Fisher as a young lad - he is amazing!

[@truefanforum3273]

Oh I most definitely thought of Willow.

[@fmcm7715]

Yes. Cause I’m over 50 and never got the whole Harry Potter thing!

[@alicev5496]

It's always surprising when the celebrities actually know how to bake well

[@Maerahn]

You sly old devil, Warwick - making us all think you were winging it on a prayer all the way through, when secretly you're a baking genius! 😎

[@lydiakies9053]

"Harry Potter Legend" please. That's Wicket the Ewok. And Willow. And Reepacheep the Mouse. And Glimfeather the Owl.

[@donlapham1265]

And The Leprechaun

[@blackmarketyardsale]

it seems he doesn't value his time as willow....

[@LegoStudios1821]

Warwick was not Reepicheep. Warwick played Nikabrik in Prince Caspian.

[@gaymaddox136]

Lydiia, I don't understand and I'm truly not just trying to be dense. Why in the world do you take issue with his being called HP Legend? He's a legend in every role he tackles.

[@tracehorrocks2473]

@@LegoStudios1821 in the Disney adaptation, but he was also in the bbc made for tv movie

[@margarethmichelina5146]

He's a very talented man indeed.

[@amandainsa1048]

Mostly I watch for the interactions and to become more familiar with the contestants, but all 3 of his creations made me salivate!! Wow! He is very talented!

[@nina1522]

When his tart slipped off the rack, my heart skipped a beat. Warwick Davis, a film legend AND a legend in the kitchen.

[@lisathomas1622]

Warwick rocks. I always enjoy seeing him.

[@blqeddie2946]

Blimey Warwick.... You could open a cake shop if the acting jobs dry up 😂😎

[@dennis12dec]

Oh yes, he could start investing in this business.

[@sothathappened]

gbbo brings my blood pressure down and elevates my levels of happy

[@poppeta22]

Everyone is all "Willow!" And "Harry Potter!" But I'm the idiot that watches every single Leprechaun film every october 🤣

[@leannehetherington2164]

Im just imaging the leprechaun killing a bunch of people then going home to make himself a bakewell tart

[@willquinndeb]

he has been my hero since Willow.. I Love that movie the smallest and the bravest of the bunch and he saves the princess... Still watch that movie today

[@fraserkatie]

Ive met Warwick such a lovely kind person very lovely to talk to! He came to my friends event and even cancelled filming his latest film to come over to the event and surprise everyone!

[@user-zx5js1xc1l]

he is one of my favourites, literally brightened up my childhood with harry potter

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

Got to be honest, looking at Warwick's biscuits and cakes...I'm off to the pantry for a midnight snack. His baking looks so good!

[@buyenho]

Lol his baking results actually look so much better than most of the celebrities in this show

[@alexisbk9576]

Harry Potter legend? He’s WILLOW!

[@pennyforyourthoughts1]

YES! PREACH IT

[@pamelamurdock8389]

Exactly!

[@ewasliwowska516]

Exactly 👍

[@razsaddiq4]

The part where she hands her hair plait to him 😭😭

[@ciderfan823]

And going back further, he was an Ewok. I think he was the one that woke up Leia.

[@thekickingmule]

It's funny, whenever someone mentions Warwick Davies to me, I think "Ah, the bloke who played Willow?" I never think of Harry Potter!

[@grahamstrouse1165]

He was Wicket in Jedi to me before he was Willow.

[@CarollFord2019]

What a man. Great actor lovely smile and can bake.❤️🌹

[@Kristen242008]

I grew up watching him in Willow! That was, and still is, one of my favorite movies!

[@SaraBanartist]

I couldn't ve normal if I was in the tent with him. I've been a fan of this guy since I was a kid. Odds are I'd keep calling him "sir" and then he'd say I didn't have to, and then as soon as I'd talk to him again I'd be back to "sir" out of nerves.

[@beatnikmary]

OMG same. I would turn into Jonathan Ross when they were teammates on Big Fat Quiz...just ignoring everything else and fangirling over Warwick's entire filmography.

[@Dr.Spatula]

Of course you would call him sir. He deserves the respect even if he doesn't want the formality of it

[@Ruthless9o7]

"There you go, hope you have a strong table" lmao

[@sharonkaufmann3992]

I am utterly impressed! He's not some actor who's in it just for laughs (As us Americans are) but a real talented baker! Cheers! 🤗 ❤

[@outerglow]

Warwick is a treasure and he should have more attention than he does

[@elizabethwhitehouse7752]

And a thoroughly nice guy.

[@krismanwaring402]

Warwick Davis is much more than Harry Potter

[@emryspendragon2710]

Omg,I I love him in everything he does. Adored him in Merlin, but his early work is astounding. He is a great actor. And he looks so young , and very handsome!!!

[@tysonducrot1917]

Warwick Davis = Legend! Fell in love with him in Willow and always love seeing him just be himself, killer wit ♥

[@briannarodriguez9719]

You took the words right out of my mouth

[@kaylinsmith6921]

I like him so much. Seems very sweet. And he can bake! He did quite well, kept it together. Made me smile the whole way through.

[@leilaan9344]

His smile and his voice and charisma are so attractive!

[@geniusonyeo]

He's an amazing baker! 😭 Blimey!

[@TheresaGreen-oq4xe]

I love Warwick he's a good baker.

[@kizzy2874]

I love Warwick, the man's a legend.

[@fondasarff9701]

I've been a Warwick fan since Willow. Just finished his book. Out here, in the American west we'd call him "a hell of a guy". Willing to take on anything.

[@Rubbafingaz1]

Warwick just keeps on impressing me, the more I see of him...

[@shellysanders2]

He has very elegant hands

[@recipesandsongs8050]

He's a sweetheart

[@wifeofagrumpyoldmarine428]

Mr. Davis is one of my favorite actors! Good on you, Mr. Davis!

[@susanbishop9525]

His voice is fantastic.

[@mariomiguelito5579]

Loved him In the movie roll "Willow".

[@Demolitiondude]

Damn man! Dude can bake.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

I mostly know him as the guy who talks to Karl Pilkington while Ricky Gervais cackles in the background.

[@jakz]

No way he doesnt bake everyday. Every bake i do ends with a kitchen fire

[@MelissaThompson432]

Same. And chunks of concrete masquerading as baked goods....

[@jenlaw5897]

He’s so charming and funny 🤣 I love this show we can see celebs in these situations

[@Mars_architects_bali]

great wit

[@smoothsheep]

I absolutely love Warwick! I especially loved him with Karl Pilkington on An Idiot Abroad. A must watch series!

[@razsaddiq4]

Agreed. What a cracking bloke. I've loved him since watching Willow , as a child.

[@evadedenbach1226]

Warwick Davis has a cameo in the Star Wars films from the prequels. He must have a that written in his contract.

[@ead9726]

Wow Warwick’s baking looks so good there,

[@jessicabuchanan1905]

We can all agree that Mr. Davis is a VERY handsome man... Right? *Like a fine wine*

[@lukaspaulus6408]

Now that`s a man who knows his baking.

[@theamorris7959]

He’s always been one of my favorite actors!! I’ve watched him long before Harry Potter 💜

[@valeria_sue777]

Warwick so talented, he should open his own bakery cuz look at those magnificent creations and he knows so much about this sort of stuff! His works looked AND tasted good which is rare on this show!😅

[@kristiancroft245]

I've loved him ever since I saw him in Willow when I was little

[@grahamstrouse1165]

My introduction to Warwick was in Star Wars. I do love Willow, however.

[@sofiacamposyanez2716]

The best representation of a Ravenclaw, I’m so proud 😂👏🏻💙

[@noraaa7462]
