Our favorite books and movies create worlds so real that we often feel as if we’re living amongst our favorite characters. And when Harry Potter talks about butterbeer, or Sam and Frodo chow down on Elven Lembas bread, we instinctually want to join in the fun. The internet has revealed that many others feel the same way, resulting in a cornucopia of recipes and DIY hacks for making your own fictional foods and drinks from scratch. And while we’re content to just scroll through the photos, we hope you enjoy this roundup of 19 of the most famous examples of fictional foods and drinks we’d love to enjoy with our favorite characters.
#1: Butterbeer (Harry Potter Series)
Butterbeer has captured the imaginations of fans and readers for more than two decades. Described as a sweet, warm beverage with a hint of butterscotch flavoring, the Gryffindor gang had to wait until they were of age to enjoy its frothy delights. And while Harry Potter theme parks have developed a version of butterbeer that you can try for yourself the next time you’re in Orlando, FL, we’d love to sit across from Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the Three Broomsticks enjoying a mug of authentic butterbeer as only the Wizarding World could make it!
