TELEVISION viewers were bewitched by Blue Peter's Hallowe'en special broadcast, which came live from Herefordshire.
A spell was cast over Eastnor Castle yesterday by the show's presenters Matt Baker, Liz Barker and Simon Thomas.
The courtyard of the castle was decked-out with pumpkins and spiders' webs. Armour added to the spooky atmosphere.
Highlight of the show were three special guests from the new Harry Potter movie.
"Three boys who bully Harry in the film talked about the movie," said Francesca Chick, a castle spokeswoman. "It was really brilliant for the castle and very exciting having the BBC down here."
The presenters used one of the rooms at Eastnor, near Ledbury, for the broadcast.
Children were also shown how to make icy wizards out of oranges and ice-cream.
