Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses, hosted by Helen Mirren, is a competition show where contestants are divided into teams and quizzed on trivia about the Wizarding World. Each team represents one of the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.

The first round, which aired Nov. 28, matched Gryffindor against Hufflepuff. Dec. 5 saw Ravenclaw go head-to-head with Slytherin. Then in the penultimate round, viewers watched Gryffindor and Slytherin face off in the Wildcard round to see which team would join Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw in the grand finale.

In the final installment of the limited series, viewers will watch the three remaining teams test their trivia knowledge on all things Wizarding World to see who will come out on top. Winners will walk away with the championship trophy and a grand prize package of special Harry Potter experiences.
