1. Make Butterbeer
This is the delicious, warming drink that Harry and his friends drink during their trips to Hogsmeade. It’s described as tasting like butterscotch. The recipe we’re sharing has only four ingredients, and it’s also exactly as we imagined butterbeer tasting when we read the books and watched the movies!
2. Skele-Gro
In the Harry Potter universe, Skele-Gro is a magical potion that can mend or regrow bones, which apparently tastes absolutely dreadful. However, our suggestion is simply to make any (tasty!) beverage of your choice and label it with a convincing tag like the one in this image.
3. “Happee Birthdae Harry” cake
In Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone, the first book in the series, Hagrid makes Harry a big chocolate cake with the words “Happee Birthdae Harry” written on it in green icing. So one of our favorite Harry Potter food ideas is to reproduce this cake for a birthday party. You can leave it as is, or replace the name “Harry” with the name of the person whose birthday it is.
4. Hogwarts houses pizza
Make a pizza in the shape of the Hogwarts shield, with a quadrant for each of the four houses. The example we’re sharing here uses red pepper, sun dried tomato, and chili for Gryffindor, spinach, pesto, and green pepper for Slytherin, cauliflower and cheese for Hufflepuff, and olives and mushrooms for Ravenclaw.
