So. Much. Fanfic.
You obsessively reread every book, combing for information you might have missed on the previous read through.

We Tried The Food At The New Wizarding World Of Harry Potter And OMG
Posted by Unknown on Tuesday, March 15, 2016
Someone perform the “Engorgio” charm on our stomachs immediately.
ICYMI, Universal Hollywood is set to open its own Wizarding World of Harry Potter this spring — which means West Coasters will finally be able to experience the magic of J.K. Rowling's universe IRL.
Warner Bros.
One of the best parts of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is you can taste some of the delicious foods mentioned in the books and films. That's where we come in.
Like most of you out there, we're hardcore Potterheads™, so we decided to put the tasty treats at the Three Broomsticks to the gastronomical test.

The good news: THERE'S SO MUCH GOOD FOOD. The bad news: Unless you can perform the "Engorgio" charm on your stomach...you won't be able to try all of it.
So, aspiring prefects that we are, we hand-picked the best food items at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (and also the ones we DIDN'T love) so you make dining choices like a wizard, not a Muggle.
Warner Bros.
First up: THE DRINKS.
If all the magic is leaving you a wee bit parched, you're in luck. The Three Broomsticks has a variety of beverage choices, but our favorite wizarding refreshment is, no surprise, BUTTERBEER. It comes in a classic style and a frozen version. Either way, you can't go wrong — it is DELICIOUS and tastes kind of butterscotchy, but also like cream soda. Our only complaint is they're a TAD sweet, but we also had two each so like, maybe it's our own fault. We also tried the Pumpkin Fizz, pictured above — it kind of tastes like apple pie soda. It's a little bit on the sweeter side. You can also order beer, and there will be Firewhiskey, which we weren't able to try.
