One of the most magical parts of the beloved Harry Potter story is the food. It conjures up a mood every time!

A cozy Butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks. Hagrid’s tooth-chipping Rock Cakes. One of Mrs. Weasley’s famous family dinners, ending with Harry’s favorite Treacle Tart. Disgustingly Maggoty Haggis served at Nearly Headless Nick’s Deathday party. A full English breakfast at Hogwarts, including foods like sausages and fried eggs. And of course tons of sweets from Honeydukes and off the tea trolley on the Hogwarts Express, such as Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, and Pumpkin Pasties.

Thanks to the brilliance of J.K. Rowling, some of the Harry Potter foods are unique and quirky while others are classic and homey. They truly enhanced the fantastical story. And they’re a great way to bring the magical world of Harry Potter right into your own home!
