Starting August 12, Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada are rolling out a full Harry Potter-themed lineup timed to the Back to Hogwarts season and the franchise's 25th anniversary. It's Tim Hortons' first officially licensed Harry Potter collaboration in Canada.
Four new seasonal donuts represent each Hogwarts house: a Strawberry Cheesecake Donut for Gryffindor, a Chocolate Pistachio Donut for Slytherin, a Blueberry Donut for Ravenclaw, and a Lemon Meringue Donut for Hufflepuff. A Golden Snitch Caramel Timbit comes in its own limited-edition Golden Snitch Timbits holder.
The real magic is in the drinks. Ordering a Patronus Sparkling Quencher or a Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quencher gets you a limited-edition cup that reveals a trail of Patronuses once filled with cold drink. The Patronus Sparkling Quencher can be customized with lemonade, a protein dairy beverage, or served frozen, while the Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quencher is available anywhere Tims serves fountain beverages.
Beyond food and drink, there's a colour-changing Stir Wand that turns blue when it touches a cold drink, meant to mimic a Patronus Charm. Participating locations will carry gift cards in a limited-edition "25 Years of Magic" design, and select items will come in limited-edition packaging including donut boxes and cold cup designs.
On August 28, participating Tims locations will host a Harry Potter Trivia Night marking both the 25th anniversary of the first Harry Potter film and the start of the Back to Hogwarts season. There's also a contest running from August 17 to September 6: anyone who places an order and scans for Tims Rewards gets entered for a chance to win one of two grand prizes—a Harry Potter VIP experience for two in London, England. Everything is available while supplies last at participating locations.
