Aside from casting a few spells and riding around on a Nimbus 2000, the delicious food is a big part of what makes the Wizarding World of Harry Potter a place you wish you could visit IRL at any given time. You’ve probably dreamt about buying a dozen chocolate frogs from the Hogwarts Express food trolley or feasting in the Great Hall with all your friends at the start of the term.
