I’ve been in love with Harry Potter since I was a teenager when it came out. Now that my kids are getting older, they’re getting super into it too.
Harry Potter Parties are about creating magical fun with food. There were many great elements of food in the Harry Potter series from pumpkin juice, Butterbeer to memories of big dinners in the great hall.

My dream is to one day go to the Harry Potter theme park. Until then I’ll enjoy the great photos like yummy Butterbeer that Salty Canary took.
Here are two recipes for Butterbeer. One is an ADULT drink, the other is for kids.
