You don’t need powers to bake something magical — that much is clear onHarry Potter: Wizards of Baking.

The new competition series is coming to Food Network on November 14, PEOPLE can reveal. The network also shared exclusive photos from the show, which was shot at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Watford, England, the same set where theHarry Potterfranchise came to life.

The film locations aren’t the only thing about the show that will look familiar to Potterheads.

The actors pop in as guests on the show in the real shooting locations, like the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Platform 9 ¾ and Gringotts Wizarding Bank insideWarner Bros. Studio Tour London– The Making ofHarry Potter.

Bakers and pastry chefs work to create edible versions of memorableHarry Potterscenes, like when Ron and Harry ride the Weasley’s flying car into a tree, and iconic magic, like the golden snitch.

Food Network hopes that “viewers and legions of Potter fans are going to have an extra special holiday season as this new series blends legendary storytelling and fantastical edible creations in a never-before-seen competition that will have audiences at the edge of their seats," according to show description. (While theHarry Pottermovies are not innately Christmas-themed, fans often watch them around the holidays.)
