Going to Hogwarts is a dream come true for so many – including some of the cast of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The actors and J.K. Rowling herself appear in a new film featurette about the excitement of returning to Hogwarts.

The new Wizarding World film catches up with a young Dumbledore (Jude Law) while teaching at Hogwarts, and his students Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and Leta Lestrange (Zoe Kravitz). All three actors express how surreal it is to film scenes at the famed magical institution (shot on-location in the same place as the original Harry Potter films) when they've seen those sets on screen a million times.

"It's like the ultimate childhood fantasy to play witches and wizards," Kravitz says in the video clip.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald hits theaters Nov. 16.
