Tim Hortons has launched a Harry Potter-inspired menu across Canada with themed donuts, drinks, Timbits, collectable merchandise and limited-edition packaging. The collaboration is available now at participating Tim Hortons restaurants as part of this year’s Back to Hogwarts celebration and the 25th anniversary of the Harry Potter film franchise.
The new Tim Hortons Harry Potter menu includes four Hogwarts House donuts, each inspired by Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.
The Gryffindor Strawberry Cheesecake Donut features a strawberry cheesecake theme, while the Slytherin Chocolate Pistachio Donut combines chocolate and pistachio flavours. The Ravenclaw Blueberry Donut is centred around blueberry, and the Hufflepuff Lemon Meringue Donut brings lemon meringue flavours to the collection.
Tim Hortons has also introduced Golden Snitch Caramel Timbits, which can be ordered alongside a limited-edition Golden Snitch Timbits holder.
Cold beverages are part of the collaboration too. The Patronus Sparkling Quenchers are served in limited-edition temperature-activated cups that reveal a trail of Patronuses when filled with a cold beverage.
Customers can customize the Patronus Sparkling Quenchers with lemonade or a protein dairy beverage, or order them frozen.
The Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quencher is another themed drink available at participating Tim Hortons locations that serve fountain beverages. It is served in the same colour-changing Harry Potter cup.
Harry Potter merchandise is available at participating locations while quantities last. Items include a colour-changing Stir Wand that turns blue when exposed to a cold beverage, referencing the Patronus Charm.
Participating restaurants are also carrying limited-edition Harry Potter gift cards featuring a 25 Years of Magic design.
The collaboration extends to Tim Hortons packaging. Select donuts, Timbits and cold beverages are being served in Harry Potter-themed single donut boxes, multi-pack donut boxes, 10-pack and 20-pack Timbits boxes and cold beverage cups while supplies last. The designs include references and details from the Harry Potter series for fans to look for.
More Harry Potter activities are planned later this month.
Participating Tim Hortons restaurants will host Harry Potter Trivia Night on August 28 as part of the Back to Hogwarts celebration.
Tims Rewards members will also have an opportunity to enter a Harry Potter-themed contest beginning August 17. Through September 6, eligible guests who make a purchase and scan their Tims Rewards account at a restaurant, order through the Tim Hortons app or make an eligible purchase through TimShop.ca can be entered for a chance to win one of two grand prizes.
Each grand prize includes a Harry Potter VIP experience for two people in London, England. Full contest details and participating restaurant information are available through the Tim Hortons Harry Potter website.
The Tim Hortons Harry Potter menu, merchandise and themed packaging are available now at participating restaurants across Canada, with individual product availability varying by location and while supplies last.
