When Universal Studios decided to bring the world of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series to life, they scoured the books for foods with which to populate their new Wizarding World. In particular, many of the beverages and candies described in the books, which had captured the imaginations of millions of readers, also inspired the magical fare at the theme park. Here are a few of Harry Potter’s favorite treats that you can find at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

“A small gillywater-“

“You want to be careful with those,” Ron warned Harry. “When they say every flavor, they mean every flavor – you know, you get all the ordinary ones like chocolate and peppermint and marmalade, but then you can get spinach and liver and tripe. George reckons he got a booger-flavored one once.”
Ron picked up a green bean, looked at it carefully, and bit into a corner.
“Bleaaargh – see? Sprouts.” (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, p. 79)
7. Chocolate Frogs

“What are these?” Harry asked Ron, holding up a pack of Chocolate Frogs. “They’re not really frogs, are they?” He was starting to feel that nothing would surprise him.
“No,” said Ron. “But see what the card is. I’m missing Agrippa.” (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, p. 77)
8. Fudge Flies
