Universal theme parks are famous for their delicious desserts and mouth-watering meals in their Harry Potter lands, bringing the books and movies alike alive like never before.

One of my personal favorite Harry Potter delicacies are the tasty varieties of Butterbeer that can be bought at nearly every restaurant and cart. I love how refreshing the cool drink is on a warm day of fun with my family or how the hot version warms me up when it is chilly.

Recipes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

(Or Philosopher’s Stone, if you’re across the pond!)

Chocolate Frogs

Hop realistically in the stomach!

When Ron and Harry first meet each other on the Hogwarts Express, Harry buys a load of goodies from the trolley to share with his new friend. While Harry’s first chocolate frog gets away from him, he discovers a love of collecting the cards that come with each frog.

Pumpkin Pasties

Ever heard of the British favorite, the pasty?

Harry Potter impressed Ron by purchasing a taste of everything from the trolley while on the Hogwarts Express, including the savory pumpkin pasties.

Harry Potter Cakes

How does a Harry Potter fan celebrate a birthday?

Wave yer wand and take your pick from 101 different Harry Potter cake ideas.

Harry Potter Cake Pops

Maybe a full cake is too much, eh? No worries, mate. Fancy a cake pop instead.

Delightfully simple, deliciously satisfying, and downright fast to make. See our collection of 100+ cake pops.

Porridge

Want to eat breakfast like Harry Potter? Scottish porridge will do the trick.

Fans tend to forget that Harry Potter recipes can include everyday British staples such as this filling Scottish porridge. In Chapter 8, we see this listed as one of the breakfast options at the Gryffindor table. Throw your favorite fruit or some cream on top, and you’ll have a British breakfast of champions.

Apple Pies

Harry was a bit obsessed with dessert at age eleven…and who could blame him?

These traditional apple hand pies are just what we picture at the Hogwarts table! Personally sized, this is one of those recipes perfect for your next Harry Potter party. You could even make them as a group, with each person having their own little pocket of apple cinnamon heaven.

Chocolate Eclairs

Another classic dessert, we see Ron stuffing himself with chocolate eclairs on more than one occasion!

Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, chocolate eclairs are a rich way to end any meal. Another upside is their portable nature, so pile them all on a tray for your next Harry Potter party! We must warn you, it will look like someone used a Vanishing spell, they will disappear so fast.

Jam doughnuts

One of the treats at the Welcoming Feast, this classic British delight will tantalize your tastebuds.

In America, we tend to see the doughnut as a breakfast item, but in the UK, this is an anytime fried snack. It’s not surprising then to see a jam doughnut as part of the elaborate desserts of the welcoming feast!

Source: Baking Mad

Mint humbugs

Whether they came from Yorkshire or Liverpool, these tasty little candies have been the first after dinner sweet for Brits since the 1800s.

While they come in a packet, you can make your own mint humbugs at home with just a few simple ingredients. As Harry will tell you, homemade is always better!

Rice Pudding

A hearty dessert, rice pudding ticks all the comfort food boxes.

In this recipe, there’s a bit of lemon rind for brightness, which highlights the vanilla flavor while breaking up the fattiness of the cream. You’ll be coming back for seconds – guaranteed.

Treacle Tart

Truly one of the favorite desserts of the wizards at Hogwarts – we know for sure it’s Harry’s!

Treacle pie is an old English dish composed mostly of short crust pastry and golden syrup. Traditionally, the pie is served hot with a dab of clotted cream. It’s also good with regular cream, custard, or yogurt. Treacle tart can be served cold as well.

Homemade Ketchup

“Harry’s mouth fell open. The dishes in front of him were now piled with food. He had never seen so many things he like to eat on one table: roast beef, roast chicken…Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup…” – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

In America, we think of ketchup as something that comes exclusively from a bottle, and not a special part of a meal. While Brits certainly have bottled ketchup, the amount of homemade ketchups that exist, many not made from tomatoes, will blow you away!

Source: Galton Blackiston on Great British Chefs

British Trifle

A classic British celebration isn’t complete without a trifle!

British trifles only need four essential ingredients – custard, sponge cake, fruit, and spirits. However, we like to think that the recipes of Harry Potter’s Welcome Feast would have one like this, full of delicious strawberries or other fruits of the forest. The house elves put a lot of work into this!

Recipes from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Full English Breakfast

Nothing goes with an iced butterbeer like a Full English Breakfast!

For you non-Brits out there, you might be wondering about this one. However, the full English breakfast is a key part of British food culture, with variations by region throughout Britain. This version of the Full English includes canonical Hogwarts favorites, making it the perfect breakfast addition to our Harry Potter recipes.

Kippers

A Molly Weasley staple, kippers will be perfect for your Burrow-style meal.

While kippers can be part of the Full English, they are usually their own breakfast main. In this recipe, savory smoked kippers (herring) come served with scrambled eggs and buttered toast. If you’re going for a Harry Potter brunch, this is one of your must-have recipes!

Chicken and Ham Sandwiches

While we can’t make them self-replicate, you’ll enjoy these sandwiches as much as Harry and Ron!

After their harrowing flying car ride, subsequent Whomping Willow attack, and threat of expulsion by Snape, Harry and Ron get a plate of chicken and ham sandwiches from Professor McGonagall. Even though they had to miss the Welcoming Feast, these sandwiches are truly excellent!

Ogden’s Old Firewhisky

For grown-up witches and wizards only!

We see firewhisky for the first time in Chamber of Secrets, the perfect alternative to an alcoholic butterbeer. With hints of zesty cinnamon, you’ll love the warmth that accompanies the kick.

Shepherd’s Pie

Steak and Kidney Pie

American fans might cringe away from the idea of organs in a pie, but this British classic is a staple on the Hogwarts table.

Steak and kidney pie is one of the Harry Potter recipes for those looking to have an authentic Harry Potter experience. We know that Hermione loves a good steak and kidney pie…if we can’t trust the smartest witch of her year, than who can we trust?

Haggis

Without maggots, preferably.

Served at Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington’s (Nearly Headless Nick) Deathday party, a maggoty haggis provided a nod to his Scottish heritage. While it wasn’t fit for Harry, Ron, and Hermione to eat, we promise this version is approved by the living.

Whole Roasted Fish

Only ours isn’t rotten.

If you want to go for the full deathday experience, you’ll want to feature an entire cooked fish on a platter. This version is roasted with lemon and herbs, and incredible focal point for your Harry Potter party!

Sir Nick’s Deathday Cake

What would a deathday be without a tombstone cake?

While you can make your own version of Sir Nick’s deathday cake, we thought this one captured the essence of the book’s description. Don’t forget the black tar icing!

Hot Chocolate

“…A large, steaming mug of hot chocolate. I always find that cheers me up.” – Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

No matter the kind of day you’ve had, hot chocolate can warm the soul. Dumbledore recommends it for Ginny after her ordeal in the Chamber of Secrets, and we recommend it to you as one of those everyday Harry Potter recipes.

Recipes in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Florean Fortescue’s Choco-Nut Sundaes

“Harry didn’t have to do his homework by flashlight anymore; now he could sit in the bright sunshine outside Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, finishing his essays with the occasional help from Florean Fortescue himself, who, apart from knowing a great deal about medieval witch burnings, gave Harry free sundaes every half an hour.” – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Mulled Mead

Hagrid loves a good mulled mead, and you can make your own blend right at home!

Warm spices combine perfectly with flavors of orange and raisin, with a bit of sweetness from the honey base. This recipe actually teaches you to make your own mead – you can’t find a more authentic addition to your Harry Potter themed lunch than that!

Weasley Family Dinner – Chicken & Ham Pie

Bouillabaisse

‘Bouillabaisse,’ said Hermione.

‘Bless you,’ said Ron.” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

With arrival of the international students from Durmstrang and Beauxbaton, Hogwarts rolled out the red carpet with food items to make those students feel more at home. While not normal Harry Potter feast items, these foods are perfect if you’re specifically going Goblet of Fired themed!

Blancmange

“When the second course arrived they noticed a number of unfamiliar puddings, too. Ron examined an odd sort of pale blancmange closely, then moved it carefully a few inches to his right, so that it would be clearly visible from the Ravenclaw table. The girl who looked like a Veela appeared to have eaten enough, however, and did not come over to get it.” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Continuing your Goblet of Fire theme, a classic blancmange is a perfect addition to your Harry Potter desserts!

Recipes in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Canary Creams

“Just then Neville caused a slight diversion by turning into a large canary.” – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Once Fred and George Weasley have the funds from Harry’s Triwizard win, the increase of Wheezes is unbelievable! Canary creams, a take on the classic British custard creams, cause unsuspecting friends to burst into a canary before molting their feathers and returning to normal. While these Harry Potter recipes come without the magic, that doesn’t make them any less tasty.

Rhubarb Crumble

“Three helpings of rhubarb crumble and custard later and the waistband on Harry’s jeans was feeling uncomfortably tight (which was saying something, as the jeans had once been Dudley’s).” – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Gryffindor fans fell even more in love with Professor McGonagall in this moment!

Puking Pastille

Last but not least, the Puking Pastille.

Molly Weasley’s Easter Eggs

Pound Cake

Aptly named, this cake includes a pound of everything!

Apple Tart

A tart so good, it would even make Severus Snape smile!

Christmas in Harry Potter is always magical, whether it’s at Hogwarts, the Burrow, or even Grimmauld Place. Use these festive Harry Potter recipes to bring a bit of Christmas into your Harry Potter gathering, or to make your own Hogwarts Christmas food.

Chipolatas

If you’re looking for another Harry Potter crockpot recipe, these chipolatas are perfect!

“Chipolatas” just refer to a mild, thin type of sausage. You can choose to make your own or purchase them from your butcher before adding to this Harry Potter crockpot casserole. Serve the chipolatas over noodles, bread, or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.

Christmas Cake

Harry and his friends enjoy classic Christmas cake throughout the novels, as do many other British citizens around the holiday season.

Americans tend to think of fruit cake or Christmas cake as something heavy, dry, and disgusting, but it doesn’t have to be! Do you think Dobby and the other house elves would serve dry Christmas cake? No way! This cake is moist, full of delicious dried fruit, and topped with a sweet icing. It’s one of the perfect Harry Potter Christmas desserts!

Hogwarts Christmas Pudding

To Americans, a “pudding” is a custardy dessert. However, in Britain, pudding can mean several other types of dessert as well, including this delicious steamed Christmas pudding.

Made with treacle, orange zest, dried fruit, and spices, Christmas pudding is a warm and hearty dessert that contains all of your favorite Christmas flavors. Most often, these puddings are topped with a cream or custard, lightening up the pudding. Doesn’t matter if you’re a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin, you’ll love this cake!

Eggnog

Whether you like yours strong or just spicy, eggnog is the perfect thing set off your Harry Potter food table at Christmas.

Made with cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and sometimes clove, these warming spices scream Christmas louder than a shrieking Hedwig. For adults witches and wizards, a bit of brandy sets off the spices nicely, particularly if alcoholic butterbeer isn’t quite your thing.

Molly’s Mashed Parsnips

Whether Ron is shoveling them in his mouth, or they’re being flung at Percy across the room, mashed parsnips are a key part of a Weasley Christmas.

Most Americans think of mashed potatoes as a holiday food, but mashed parsnips are a nice way to bring in a veggie rather than a starch and achieve the same effect. Parsnips have a bit of a sweeter flavor, bringing out those notes in your meat dishes. It’s a sophisticated change to the normal Harry Potter food offerings.

Hogwarts Turkey Dinner

“Harry had never in all his life had such a Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce — and stacks of wizard crackers every few feet along the table.” – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Just as Harry was blown away at all the Hogwarts Christmas food, have your own Harry Potter themed Christmas lunch like a real Brit! There are several Christmas dinner recipes, as there are obviously multiple dishes and courses, but the main event is the turkey dinner. This incredible balsamic and honey glazed recipe will absolutely wow all your Harry Potter party guests.

Buttered Peas

Sometimes simple cooking is the best cooking!

Buttered peas add a bit of color to any Christmas or holiday table, as well as providing a vegetable to set off heavier dishes. A bit of butter and salt provide a sense of richness that peas inherently lack, bringing out their sweet flavor. With only three ingredients in this recipe, it’s impossible to get wrong.

Glazed carrots

Another delicious veggie option, glazed carrots bring sweet, spice, and everything nice.

A Harry Potter Christmas meal would be incomplete without glazed carrots, cooked with brown sugar and butter, then topped with black pepper for a bit of kick. Dobby and the other house elves want to make sure all their Hogwarts students get their vitamins, even on Christmas.

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Nothing out of the can for Hogwarts Christmas!

Cranberry sauce is a holiday staple whether you’re in the UK or the US, and there’s no denying it’s better when it’s homemade. This cranberry sauce has just three ingredients, and is easy to make ahead of your Harry Potter party or fresh for the day.

Christmas Fudge

With a few mix-ins, Mrs. Weasley’s fudge becomes her Christmas version in no time!

Miniature marshmallows and walnuts give the perfect festive fun to this rich, chocolatey fudge. A sure-fire way to cheer you up during Christmas or after a Voldemort dementor attack – Lupin always did advocate for the medicinal aspects of chocolate.

Mince Pies

A British traditional favorite, these pies can be made with or without meat for a sweet or savory Christmas delight.

Mince pies are somewhat divisive in the UK, but we’re hoping to win you over with this Hogwarts food favorite. Flaky pastry contains fruit, spices, and in this case, meat. They’re definitely good enough to suck in any unsuspecting Slytherin.

Yule Ball Pork Chops

“There was no food as yet on the glittering golden plates, but small menus were lying in front of each of them…Dumbledore, however, looked carefully down at his own menu, then said very clearly to his plate, ‘Pork chops!’ And pork chops appeared.” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

You might not think of pork chops as typical holiday fare, but if you’re looking for something different this Christmas you’ll love this recipe. Apples, rosemary, and onion give those warm and comforting flavors that we look for during the holiday season.

Turkey Sandwiches for Boxing Day

We may not know why it’s called Boxing Day, but we do know these sandwiches are delicious!

After Christmas, Harry and Ron often chow down on turkey sandwiches made from leftovers from the previous night’s dinner. This toasted version of a favorite Hogwarts Christmas food will have you thinking about leftovers in a new way.
