Enthusiastic Harry Potter fans love the ideas behind the culinary specialities of the world of Hogwarts, everything from Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans to Chocolate Frogs to Butterbeer. Reading the books left some people salivating to try to recreate these magical treats in their Muggle world kitchens and for Butterbeer at least, they can now give it a try.
