The new Harry Potter store in New York opens June 3rd and they have just announced a Butterbeer Bar! This is big news for the Harry Potter community. There will now be a total of five locations around the world that you can purchase and enjoy an official Butterbeer and Butterbeer Ice cream. This includes Wizarding World Orlando, Wizarding World Hollywood, Wizarding World Osaka, The Warner Brothers Studio Tour London, and now The Harry Potter New York store!

The big reveal is the news that this will be the first location in the US that you can purchase the new Vegan and Gluten-Free bottled Butterbeer. So far, the New York location has only announced two versions of the classic cold Butterbeer and a Butterbeer Ice cream. No word yet if the Frozen Butterbeer, or the most popular Hot Butterbeer will make an appearance. For the first time in the United States, they are serving up the brand new gluten-free & 100% vegan bottled Butterbeer in two uniquely designed bottles. The first newly available souvenir glass bottled Butterbeer designed by MinaLima, matches the one exclusively released this passed September 2020 for UK residents through the official WB online UK shop, and for the Warner Brothers Studio Tour London. The second brand new glass bottled Butterbeer will be exclusive to the New York store. This version contains the same gluten-free & vegan recipe inside, but has a unique MACUSA collector label themed around the Fantastic Beasts film series.

New York Butterbeer

At the moment, the Universal Studios Wizarding World theme parks in the US, sell the standard cold Butterbeer in only one serving size for $7.99 (plus tax). The New York Harry Potter store has set the price slightly higher at $8.99 (plus tax) for a large size, and $5.99 (plus tax) for a small size. This is the first time we have seen the option to order two different sizes. Traditionally, each official location around the world that serves Butterbeer, offers a uniquely designed Butterbeer mug that fans love to collect. The New York store revealed that the plastic New York Butterbeer Mugs will show off the exclusive redesigned logo by MinaLima that matches the glass bottled Butterbeer label. The Butterbeer bar will also carry an exclusive larger glass mug that matches this same logo that will also be available for purchase. This bottled Butterbeer does not contain the classic foam topping. This helps it remain a vegan and gluten-free option. This version tastes a bit more like a ginger soda beverage, and a bit less sweet than traditional Butterbeer but still a delicious treat. Evanna Lynch, the actress who played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films, is a well known vegan advocate, and with the help from her, and a nonprofit organization called The Protego foundation, we now have this new vegan Butterbeer option so every Wizarding World fan finally has the opportunity to enjoy Butterbeer! Will you be visiting the New York Harry Potter store? Do you collect the various Butterbeer mugs from around the world? Are you excited to try the new bottled Butterbeer? Let us know!
