Cue the dramatic Harry Potter music…and action! Harry’s birthday is coming up so we better get to celebrating! We’ve all dreamed of the magic and insisted that we will just read one more page. I know we all wish and maybe even checked our mailboxes on the day we turned 11 to see if we received a letter to Hogwarts! So why not bring a little bit of magic into your own home for Harry’s birthday by making these Butterbeer Shakes and Pumpkin Pasties.

PLUS we have a Harry Potter giveaway also!  Make sure you stay with us and scroll to the very bottom of the post.

Add a bit of magic to your home by celebrating Harry Potter's birthday with a Butterbeer Shake and two types of Pumpkin Pasties!

Pumpkin Pasties Savory and Sweet

Preparing these pasties is super easy. You’ll be able to whip these up in no time, but we’d highly recommend involving the little ones. Create a Harry Potter memory together! We still can’t get over how tasty these two versions are. Be sure to try both!

Ready to blend! Taste test after blending and adjust as needed. Too thick? Add more cream soda. Not thick enough? Add more ice cream. Can’t taste the rum? You get the picture…
