One of the highlights of the holiday season for me is re-watching Harry Potter movies. This year, I’ll be able to finally watch all of them (one after another?). If winter-time makes you think of Harry Potter and Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you’re probably also thinking about Hogsmeade and perhaps candy from Honeydukes?!
On a recent trip to Orlando, Florida, Greg and I went to Universal Studios specifically to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We visited all the shops, and especially enjoyed popping in to Honeydukes Sweetshop.
I wish that more sweetshops were full decorated like this one (although I did see some amazing candy stores on my USA trip, like the one ITSUGAR shop in Atlantic City).
It was extremely hot and muggy outside, even in mid-September (I guess we shouldn’t have been surprised—we were in Florida after all!), and these chilled pumpkin juice bottles with pumpkin toppers looked really appealing!
It’s too bad that the Pumpkin Juice was $6! A lot of the other food and drinks in the theme park were not overpriced, so we had to pass on the Pumpkin Juice.
I like how the Bertie Botts Every Flavour Jelly Beans
I really like the selection at Honeydukes, but wish that there were more vegan options available!
We had a hard time finding anything that we could buy/eat.

What candy would you buy from Honeydukes? Would you splurge and buy the Pumpkin Juice?

I didn't even know this existed. Now I HAVE to take a trip to Florida! This place looks like so much fun!
Yep, you have to get in to Universal Studios (Islands of Adventure) first, but there are so many fun stores, rides etc
That's so neat! Great photos. I love the pink spiral staircase – wish I had something like that in my house!

I agree, that spiral staircase would be so great in a home
I'd love to try those exploding bonbons. Yummy! How fun!
My recent post Cheerios Sends Cheer to Military Families this Holiday Season!
They do seem intriguing, for sure. I wonder what's inside…fizz?
that looks like so much fun! I don't know if I could buy something called pumpkin juice, though!
the juice was mostly pumpkin flavoured iced tea!
There are so many great treats—a child's dream for sure.
soooo awesome! thanks for the post, and the look inside honeydukes! we are huge harry potter fans and would love to get there some day. I think the everyflavour beans might be a good souvenier
