Halloween is fast approaching, though it's fair to say that this year the spookiest time of the year is probably going to feel a little different.
As vital social distancing measures persist in order to try to slow the spread of COVID-19, many of our previous hobbies and interests have been rendered impractical or otherwise impossible. Thus, we've all been seeking out new ways of keeping ourselves entertained.
And brands have been jockeying for position in the busy staycation marketplace this year, looking to provide us with products that give a little respite from the endless sourdough loaves and big cat docs.
These grandparents built an incredible Harry Potter-themed fortress:Indeed, the good folk over at the Harry Potter merchandising department appear to have been particularly busy of late. Just recently, we brought you the news that Potter fans in the United Kingdom can now purchase the delicious beverage Butterbeer from the comfort of their own homes.
What's more, the butterscotch-flavor drink is entirely vegan and comes in beautifully designed bottles with different collectible labels.
A product description for the Butterbeer reads:
"Experience one of the Wizarding-World's most loved drinks with bottled Butterbeer. Serve the delicious drink chilled and poured from the bottle. The beverage features the familiar butterscotch flavour fans will recognise among other secret ingredients, making it the perfect gift for aspiring wizards and witches. Brewed in the UK, Butterbeer is available to buy in souvenir glass bottles with a collectable label designed by MinaLima."
Thirsty shoppers are also now able to order online at shop.wbstudiotour.co.uk or harrypotterplatform934.com, though delivery is currently only available within the United Kingdom.
And if you're looking for the perfect vessel from which to quaff your brand new Butterbeer, then I have some even better news to share with you.
That's right, Target is now selling glow-in-the-dark Harry Potter cups, according to one eagle-eyed Instagrammer.
