Starbucks Is Getting a Harry Potter-Themed Menu… But You’ll Need Floo Powder to Get There

Everyone be aware of the two big trigger words in this article: Starbucks and Harry Potter. That’s a combo that will make most young Americans roll their eyes. Well, lucky for the youth of America, this new Harry Potter-themed menu is hitting Starbucks in a galaxy far, far away. (Is Star Wars still okay to talk about? Are we mad at them, too? I can’t keep up!!)

Harry Potter-themed bevvies are coming to Starbucks in Southeast Asia next week… and potentially other countries later this year, if some rumors are to be believed. 

Those countries will, potentially, include the US. But that’s just a rumor right now. All we know for certain, courtesy of this IG post from Snackolater, are the names of the three new Starbucks drinks coming to some Southeast Asian countries soon:

• Honeydukes Bursting Bonbons Coffee Frappuccino
• Honeydukes Bursting Bonbons Latte
• Honeydukes Bursting Bonbons Frozen Tea

I have to assume that “Bursting Bonbons” are some kind of sweet popping boba. Not the typical tapioca pearls of your average boba, but those smaller, thin-skinned spheres usually filled with some kind of fruit juice. Honestly, these sound pretty unique and delicious. 

And this isn’t the first time Starbucks has introduced popping boba, btw. They put fruity popping boba in a few of their limited edition summer drinks menu back in 2024. But it’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen them. 

Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, why the heck hasn’t Starbucks introduced regular boba to their menu yet? 

This is a big tangent, okay, I’m sorry. But really… how have they not hopped on the boba train yet? Starbucks reps, email me. Let’s chat. As someone who has to visit the boondocks of Florida at least once a year, I’m telling you right now, I would buy your boba tea. This is a business opportunity that you are missing out on. I mean, I won’t buy yours over the many, many boba tea shops in LA, but there’s no competition in the Florida swamp. Just sayin’. 

Can we go back? For a second there, it kinda sounded like you support Starbucks and Harry Potter, Ariana…

*Sips my venti iced matcha latte*  Support? No. I’ll yell at Starbucks to let their workers unionize all day. I have JKR blocked on every social media account. But that doesn’t mean I’m not a loud-and-proud hypocrite. What am I supposed to do? Pretend like I never roll through the Starbucks drive-thru in my pajamas when I need caffeine but don’t want to put on a bra? Lie about still occasionally taking a Hogwarts house quiz when I get bored? I’m a millennial, my dude. Everything I’ve come to love in life has inevitably been stained with controversy. It’s exhausting. I’m exhausted. That’s why I need to drink so much caffeine. See? The cycle is endless…
