Daniel Radcliffe Will Reportedly Do Another Harry Potter Film, If J.K. Stays The Fk Out Of It Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince NO RAGRETS My personal favourite tables were the Butterbeer barrel booths which were so cosy. But, they also had one that looked like a copper brewing tank with some bubbling Butterbeer tubes in the middle which was pretty epic. There are occasional references to rebellious teens like the Weasley twins or Seamus Finnigan smuggling Firewhisky into Hogwarts, but in general, the Potter books have a healthier attitude to alcohol than your average binge-drinking party scene in a teen movie. You can sit in Butterbeer Barrels, gorge on Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts Beans, and see your favourite actors from the movies with Butterbeer moustaches. No, they actually serve up a whole range of drinks and food in the Butterbeer Bar which is great if you don’t have a sweet tooth. They have lots of other soft drinks, coffee, tea and bottled water on offer.

But, my favourite part was getting a Ministry of Magic photo ID card. This is an exclusive feature of the Harry Potter Photographic Exhibition that you cannot get anywhere else. So, I would say grab the opportunity with both hands. House elves are much smaller than humans, so you can imagine one getting drunk on six bottles. Meanwhile, a tankard or two would have minimal impact on a human teenager. Here’s our simple potion lesson recipe for how to make your own butterbeeer. It’s a deliciously similar magical beverage. You will need:This magically themed pub is a fun take on the Wizards drink of choice with plenty of treats and tankards of Butterbeer to be had. So, what is it like visiting the only Harry Potter Butterbeer Bar in London?! Well, it’s just as magical as you would expect for an official Warner Brothers Studios attraction. In the sixth movie, we see Hermione acting a little tipsy after drinking a few Butterbeers in Hogsmeade. That makes things pretty clear within the movie franchise, but for book purists, we must turn to Winky the house elf. Wizarding World/YouTube

There’s a real historical drink called buttered beer, with a few recipes surviving from Tudor England. It’s a kind of spiced eggnog/beer combo with melted butter, but that’s probably not what J.K. Rowling envisioned. She personally imagined Butterbeer as having a butterscotch flavor, and that’s a prevailing theme in real-world recipes. If you go to the Harry Potter theme park in Florida, you can get hot and cold Butterbeer drinks that taste of butterscotch and shortbread.

This all adds up to Butterbeer being something like shandy, maybe 1-2% alcohol compared to the 4-6% of a typical British beer. I had one of their Chocolate Frog cupcakes and it came with a mountain of purple icing and a load of gold glitter on top which was so pretty. After getting fired by the Crouch family and joining the Hogwarts domestic staff, Winky gets depressed and develops a Butterbeer habit. She’s intoxicated throughout Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and while it’s possible that Butterbeer only has this effect on house elves, there’s one scene that strongly implies Butterbeer just has a low alcohol content. Specifically, Harry points out that it’s “not that strong.”

This vaguely historical atmosphere makes it feel more natural for kids to be drinking “underage.” Up until the 19th century, it was normal for everyone—including young children—to drink “small beer” all day, because water was unsafe. And while Butterbeer is obviously about being drunk for pleasure instead of practicality, it falls into a similar category. It’s weak enough that many readers don’t even consider that it might be alcoholic. Gryffindor is one of the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with students possessing courage, chivalry, and determination, usually being sorted into this house. The emblematic animal is a lion, which can be seen within the crest on the sides of this beautifully crafted piece, along with the house colours of red and gold. Thoughts and feelings about the transphobic creator of Harry Potter aka She Who Must Not Be Named aside, you can’t deny that these movies are good for the soul. The sweet nostalgia of the theme music just fills me with warmth, not unlike a tankard of butterbeer (I’ll stop with the Harry Potter references soon. Maybe.) There are also SO many photo opportunities here like a giant Hogwarts Acceptance Letter, The Ministry of Magic tunnel, and the famous red telephone box. Plus, you can snap one of the blue Ford Anglia’s that featured in the movies.The bar also has a range of savoury food options like breakfast muffins and hot panini’s if you wanted something extra with your Butterbeer. Plus, they have cold sandwiches and salads.
