LONDON -- When it comes to puns, UK weather presenter Sian Welby is a total machine.

The Channel 5 forecaster has previously filmed weather updates with Star Wars puns and Batman v Superman puns, and now she's turned her attention to everyone's favourite wizard.

During an appearance on Capital Breakfast, Welby was challenged to give a weather update packed with as many Harry Potter puns as she could manage.
