In the Harry Potter stories, Butterbeer is the comforting wizarding world beverage beloved by Hogwarts students. But brilliantly, the drink was brought to real life for fans to enjoy all across the world too! This spring, learn about Butterbeer Season: a new celebration of this frothy favourite. Learn about limited-edition products, events, and activations.

In the Harry Potter books, Harry's first experience of Butterbeer is famously exquisite.

Harry drank deeply. It was the most delicious thing he’d ever tasted and seemed to heat every bit of him from the inside.

And from the moment we read about it in the books, fans around the world were left curious about this comforting concoction.

The iconic drink, reminiscent of butterscotch with hints of shortbread, was brought to life in 2010 when The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened at Universal Orlando Resort, quickly followed by the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, introducing fans to that unique, comforting flavour now available to be tasted at official experience locations around the world. In fact, Butterbeer has become so beloved, fans can enjoy a whole season of it, starting now, through to the end of April.

Here's a little taster of what to expect.
