Having a Harry Potter party? You’ll need plenty of food and I’ve got tons of awesome Harry Potter recipes to share!  Originally I thought I might find a few tasty Butterbeer recipes or a fun Harry Potter cake but I found enough Harry Potter food for a gazillion parties.

Here are just a few…

• Butterbeer
• Polyjuice Potion Punch
• Pumpkin Juice
• Golden Snitch Cake
• Cauldron Cake

• Treacle Tart
• Elves Curry Puffs
• Howler Pastries
• Cockroach Clusters

 Harry Potter Recipes

From Butterbeer Ice Cream to Sorting Hat Cookies, there’s no shortage of ideas to choose from. Some are easy, like the chocolate frogs made from a mold. Others, like the Golden Snitch Cake will take a little more work. I did this on a smaller scale recently with these Golden Snitch Peanut Butter Balls…SO delish!

The good part is that any of these will be perfect for your party! (If you want even more recipes, you might also like this Harry Potter Recipes Book)

Harry Potter Cakes And Cupcakes

You can’t have a party without cake, right?

This is actually the Harry Potter Cake that I made for my daughter’s birthday. She’d actually found a similar one that she loved on Pinterest and asked me to recreate it. Though it wasn’t quite as extravagant as the original (clearly made by a professional), my daughter loved it and that’s all that matters!

I’m a huge fan of everything Ashlee Marie does and cakes like this Harry Potter Golden Snitch Cake are the reason why.

I love all the color in this Hogwarts House Cake from Bakingdom.

These Harry Potter Cauldron Cakes from Pastry Affair are adorable and may even be easier to make than they look!

 Harry Potter Owl Cupcakes from Sweetest Kitchen definitely fit the theme!

 Harry Potter Pasties And Pies

If you want Harry Potter savory recipes, you’ve got to try these yummy looking Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties from PopSugar.

If they’re good enough for the elves, these Elves Curry Puffs from Raegun Ramblings are good enough for us.

This Harry Potter Treacle Tart from Feast Of Starlight looks like it would be just as tasty for a Thanksgiving dessert as for a Harry Potter birthday party.

If you want to try another version, this Treacle Tart recipe from The Sugar Hit includes ingredients like brown butter, rosemary and lemon.

These Harry Potter Howlers from Food And Wine may just win the creativity prize.

Harry Potter Food

How cute are these Cheese And Pretzel Broomsticks from One Little Project? I love that they give the kids a healthier alternative too!

Think you could eat a cockroach? How about if it were made with chocolate and pecans? The kids will love being grossed out by these Cockroach Clusters from Whip & Wander.

If you want Cockroach Clusters that don’t look quite so buggy, give this Cockroach Cluster recipe from Bakingdom a try.

 Get one of these before they fly away. These Golden Snitch Truffles from The Dinner Mom will disappear fast.

If you’re looking for easy Harry Potter cookies, try these Deathly Hallows Sugar Cookies from The Kitchen Magpie. You can never go wrong with cookies!

Acid Pops from Pastry Affair will be a big hit at any Harry Potter themed party.

My favorite thing about these Golden Snitches from Party Delights is just how easy they are to make.

This Butterbeer Fudge from Totally The Bomb would be perfect for Harry Potter treat bags.

I’m a huge fan of giving treat bags with food instead of trinkets and these Harry Potter Pretzel Wands from Clementine County are perfect.

Butterbeer Popcorn from An Edible Mosaic makes a great party treat but also a yummy snack for movie night.

Dumbledore loved lemon drops so why not serve these Lemon Drop Candies from Southern Fatty.

For something a little more unusual, Dumbledore’s Pensieve Recipe from Raegun Ramblings is pretty cool looking.

You may not hear them but these Sorting Hat Cookies from Housewife Eclectic are calling my name.

We made these Chocolate Frogs from Ezra Pound Cake for our own Harry Potter party and the kids loved them.

Okay, so they probably don’t REALLY explode but kids will love these Exploding Bon Bons from Three Baking Sheets To The Wind anyway.

How cute are these Monster Book Snacks from Hello Wild Things?

This colorful Harry Potter Candy Bark from Mom Does Reviews is almost too pretty to eat (but that won’t stop us)!

Which of these Harry Potter recipes do you want to try first? I think the Harry Potter Howlers would be fun to make and of course I’d have to try the Butterbeer! What Harry Potter inspired food should I add to the list?
