There is always that one reason to make an extra Starbucks run. This time, it comes with a bit of Harry Potter.
Starbucks has rolled out a collaboration with the wizarding world, bringing in a set of themed drinks and a lineup of collectible drinkware now making the rounds in stores.
The drinks fall under the Honeydukes Bursting Bonbons series, three in total: a latte, a frappuccino, and a frozen tea. All three share the same idea, something sweet, slightly playful, with small citrusy bursts that pop as you drink.

The latte keeps things familiar, espresso, milk, a bit of vanilla, finished with candy sprinkles. The frappuccino goes heavier, coffee blended with milk and vanilla, topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. The frozen tea is the lighter option, citrus black tea with the same bright notes running through it. The bubble bursts, flavored with honey bergamot, give each drink a small twist that sets them apart from the usual menu.
Then there is the merch, which, for most people, is probably the main event. More than 16 items are in the collection, from tumblers to cold cups, each one picking up details from the Harry Potter universe. Think wands, owls, and house colors worked into designs that still fit into everyday use.
