It's
all very well being able to turn your brother into a frog when nobody's
watching, but can you do it live on the radio?

This
was the challenge BBC Radio Cambridgeshire presenter Tony James
set local witches and wizards in the Peterborough area, and dozens
rose to it.
But only the very best, the very bravest and strongest were chosen
to perform live on air in front of Professor Flitwick, the Master
of Charms...

Joshua, Robert, Brett, Jake and Amy - all local schoolchildren -
were chosen as our region's top apprentices and each cast their
spells live on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire's Breakfast Show on Friday
20th June.

Magic
was in the air outside Waterstone's Bridge Street window - decorated
in preparation for the next day's launch of the brand new Harry
Potter book. Warwick Davies, who plays Professor Flitwick, the Master
of Charms, was there to give the young witches and wizards some
top tips.
 Listen
to the wizards and witches...
Listen as reporter Jane Smith discusses the new book with Warwick
Davies and the children cast their magic spells live on air! Professor
Flitwick will then choose a winner - but we think there's a big
clue in our picture!

To make sure the whole event went with a bang (and a fizz), the
AVCE Hospitality & Catering students at Peterborough Regional College
designed the perfect potion
to be drunk by a practising apprentice. It's a fantastically bubbly
taste of wizardry, so why not whip up a batch yourself?
Peterborough's
Potty Potter Potion
|
Potion ingredients
One
slosh of blackcurrant juice
Three
sloshes of orange juice
Three
sloshes of bubbling lemonade
Sliced
apples and oranges
To
add colour, decorate the goblet. Gently dip the rim of the goblet
in blackcurrant juice and then dip in to sugar, so that the
rim of the glass is coated.
Making the magic...
In the wizards goblet, stir together some of the apples and
oranges with the blackcurrant juice. Pour in the orange juice
and stir, to mix the potion together. Slowly mix in the bubbling
lemonade.
Complete the potion by adding a straw or 'wizard's wand'.
NOTE: 'One slosh' equals approximately 2 fl oz. So if you
make up the batch above, you should have enough potion to keep
two young apprentice wizards very happy! |
