Planning Harry Potter movie night? Grab the best wizarding cupcakes, treats, and drinks for an incredible movie night menu! You’ll love the butterbeer cupcakes, savory snacks, and edible wands!
We started reading Harry Potter over 20 years ago, and we fell in love with Hogwarts and the whole wizarding world! Full confession — we saw the 7th movie in theaters 5 times before saying goodbye. In our defense, the last time was only $2 at an IMAX theater, but still – we’re pretty obsessed.
We also love the amusement park, and we’ve been twice. We drank up every butterbeer, snack, and treat that they had!
Now, you can create your own magical world with a Harry Potter movie night with these desserts and snacks!
Here are just a few of our favorite Harry Potter Snacks:
- Butterbeer cupcakes
- Sorting hat cupcakes
