Recommended Menu for a Hogwarts Feast

First up, Butterbeer!

The feast would not be considered Harry Potter-themed without it. The deliciously creamy drink will make you feel like you took a day trip to The Three Broomsticks! Check out this super simple recipe to make your own!

Main Dish: Roast Beef with Mashed Potatoes

Forget the steak and kidney pie, and go for the classic roast beef with mashed potatoes. This is the perfect addition to the evening because you can just throw it in the crockpot and it will magically be ready for you when you get home! Check out this recipe here!
