4 new Tim Hortons Harry Potter donuts to be available in Canada

Harry Potter fans gearing up for “Back to Hogwarts” day will want to check out new donuts at Tim Hortons.

Tim Hortons is launching the donuts and other special items on Aug. 12 to celebrate Back to Hogwarts day and the 25th anniversary of the first Harry Potter film, the company said in a press release.

Back to Hogwarts is an annual global fan celebration day held on Sept. 1. It is a fictional return to Hogwarts marked on the official Harry Potter site and celebrated by fans of the books and films. The first J.K. Rowling book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in June 1997. The first film was released in 2001.

Four special donuts — the Gryffindor Strawberry Cheesecake donut, the Slytherin Chocolate Pistachio donut, the Ravenclaw Blueberry donut and the Hufflepuff Lemon Meringue donut will be available at Tim Hortons starting on Aug. 12, the company said.

Golden Snitch Caramel timbits and a limited-edition Golden Snitch timbit holder will also be available.

Patronus Sparkling Quenchers or Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quenchers will be served in a limited-edition cup that reveals a trail of Patronuses when it’s filled with its cold Quenchers. Patronus Sparkling Quenchers can also be customized with lemonade, protein dairy beverage, or frozen. Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quenchers will be available at participating Tims restaurants where fountain beverages are served.

In addition to the Golden Snitch timbit holder, Harry Potter fans can pick up a colour-changing Stir Wand, which is activated by cold beverages and turns blue to resemble the Patronus Charm.

“Harry Potter has been a beloved part of so many of our guests’ lives for decades and we couldn’t be more excited for Canadians to discover the wizarding world at Tims restaurants,” said Hope Bagozzi, chief marketing officer for Tim Hortons.

On Aug. 28, participating Tim Hortons restaurants will host a Harry Potter trivia night.
