Harry Potter fans are set to have Christmas come early this year thanks to a brand new magical baking show themed around the hit franchise.
The series, titled Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, will see contestants dream up 'spellbinding sweet creations inspired by the wizarding world' we all know and love from the books and film adaptations.
“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," the show’s description teases.

While the series itself was confirmed earlier this year, PEOPLE has now confirmed that the series will hit screens in November, meaning you’ll have a cosy watch to curl up with this autumn.
Food Network, where viewers will be able to watch it, also shared exclusive photos from the show, which was filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Watford, England – yep, the very same set where the films were shot.
Fans will also recognise two very famous faces, with none other than the Weasley twins – aka James and Oliver Phelps – on board as hosts alongside judges Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef.
Other stars are also set to make a cameo appearance as guests, including James and Oliver’s on-screen sister Bonnie Wright, Luna Lovegood actor Evanna Lynch and Warwick Davis, who played Professor Flitwick.
Fans are already excited for things to kick off, with one tweeting: “Can't wait for the baking show.”
Someone else said: “Sounds amazing,” while a third wrote: “IM SO EXCITED YA’LL.”
A fourth added: “So lovely to see the actors participating in the show!”
When the trailer dropped a while back, YouTubers were equally thrilled, with one commenting: "It’s being presented by JAMES AND OLIVER PHELPS!!?!!!??!!!!!! Ahhhahahahahahaaaaaa."
"Expecto Fabuloso Bake-o!" another joked, while one other fan gushed: "SHUT. Your. MOUTH! I’m watching this as soon as it comes out. Yep. In my robe and all, replicating what I can."
They're an exciteable bunch, these Potter fans, aren't they? Fingers crossed these pastry chefs don't disappoint, although judging from the trailer, we're in for a magical ride.
Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking lands on Food Network this November.
