True, the tasty Butterbeer you've always adored will be available, but there will other offerings, including a Butterbeer soft serve ice cream at the new Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream counter, which debuts inside Honeyduke's on March 29.
An ice lolly will also pop up at the wizard-wondrous land, an on-a-stick sweet that possesses that irresistible combination of shortbread and butterscotch flavors in every chilly nibble.
Butterbeer potted cream is still a popular choice among Wizarding World fans, and the Butterbeer fudge, too.
