You don’t need powers to bake something magical – that much is clear Harry Potter: Baking Wizards.
A new competition series is coming to the Food Network in November, PEOPLE reveals. The network also shared exclusive photos from the show, which was filmed at Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios in Watford, England, on the same set where it is Harry Potter the franchise has come to life.
The filming locations aren’t the only thing about the series that will look familiar to Potterheads.
James and Oliver Phelps, who played twins Fred and George Weasley, serve as hosts. The on-screen wizards are joined by real-life chefs Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef who serve as judges.

The actors make guest appearances on the show at actual filming locations, such as the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Wizardry, Platform 9 ¾, and Gringotts Wizarding Bank inside the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter.

Bakers and pastry chefs are working to create edible versions to remember Harry Potter scenes, like when Ron and Harry drive Weasley’s flying car into a tree, and iconic magic, like the golden snitch.
Food Network hopes that “viewers and legions of Potter fans will have an extra special holiday season as this new series brings together legendary stories and fantastic edible creations in a never-before-seen competition that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats,” according to the show’s description. (While Harry Potter movies are not inherently Christmassy, fans often watch them during the holidays.)
