Hide AdToday, a spokesperson for Peak District National Park said in a Facebook post: “There's no magic spell that can stop a wildfire.
“This huge fire bowl, along with the leftovers of a mighty feast, was left by some witches or wizards on our Stanage North Lees estate recently, just metres from dry vegetation that hasn't seen rain for several weeks.
“The risk is clear: flames, blown hot embers or the heat retained from fire pits, BBQs or other heat sources can remain long after you've cooked up your best potion (or sausages).
“Don't be a Muggle, and leave the BBQ at home.”
