When the season of summer arrives, along comes cold, sweet scoops of ice cream as a tasty treat. While enjoying a cone, I thought about how lovely and delicious they are, and my train of thought shifted to what ice creams the Harry Potter characters might be – whether vanilla or some other flavor. Let’s appoint ice cream flavors to our beloved characters in the wizarding world.
Harry Potter: Mint Chocolate Chip
The protagonist of the series, Harry, is as fresh and refreshing as mint. Made from spearmint and peppermint, the ice cream is sweet and slightly bitter, creating an impeccable taste. The tinge of the mint chocolate chip is as green as Harry’s eyes – and the ice cream’s color palette also resembles the colors of Harry’s favorite T-shirt.
Ron Weasley: Butterscotch
A rich, smooth, buttery cream loaded with caramelized crunch certainly screams a person who could be called somebody’s home. Being Harry’s best friend from their first day at Hogwarts, Ron has always looked out for Harry like a brother.
Hermione Granger: Coconut
Described as pure, gentle, and precious in taste, coconut ice cream has no better fit than Hermione Granger. Coconut may not be everybody’s taste, but those who love coconut do not negotiate. If you think about it, Hermione was a bit like that.
Luna Lovegood: Bubblegum
The scene of Luna wearing the pink and blue Spectrespecs and her pink blazer gives off immaculate bubblegum vibes. Similarly, bubblegum ice cream is colorful, creamy, and a bit different. This flavor reminds me of innocence and childlike wonder, qualities that beautifully align with Luna’s character.
Draco Malfoy: Walnut
For Draco Malfoy, the ice cream flavor must be rich and strong, containing features that can be quite expensive. Combining all this, I think the walnut-flavored ice cream takes the scoop for Draco. Walnuts also add a tinge of bitterness, creating a unique flavor for any tasters with a more conventional palate.
Neville Longbottom: Malai Kulfi
Made with milk, sugar, and nuts, malai kulfi ice creams on sticks are simple, supple, and soft. Like Neville, these ice creams have a sense of naivety, tenderness, and distinctiveness. Moreover, these kulfis are my favorite, and Neville is one of my favorites! Therefore, it’s a no-brainer why I associate him with it.
Hagrid: Mango
These mellow, yellow ice creams taste like a cool hug in the scorching summer. Hagrid’s hugs must also feel sweet and fresh like mangoes. Hagrid’s bubbly and chirpy personality sits right with mango – and like a chilled mango is an escape in the scorching sun, Hagrid was always a getaway shelter for Harry.
Fred and George Weasley: Orange PopsiclesWeasley Twins
Speaking of bubbly and chirpy, the Weasley twins are also very playful and comical. And orange popsicles are tangy and unique, just like the twins. Made with just orange and ice, these popsicles give off vibes of spontaneity and curiosity, which are highlights of Fred and George’s characters.
Albus Dumbledore: Sherbet LemonAlbus Dumbledore
What could be a better choice for Dumbledore than the flavor of his favorite muggle sweet, sherbet lemon? This lovely, refreshing, citrusy ice cream represents Dumbledore quite well. He may have appeared somber, but he was often jolly and sparkling like a sherbet.
Severus Snape: BlackcurrantSeverus Snape
Made from the pulp of blackcurrant berries, blackcurrant ice cream tastes vivid and rare. It has a layered texture with an aftertaste that lingers. Like Severus, this flavor may not be everybody’s favorite scoop due to its sour, tangy, and sweet combination.
