Krispy Kreme launches five Harry Potter-inspired donuts, pairing Hogwarts house flavors with a magical Sorting Hat design
Krispy Kreme is rolling out five limited-time donuts inspired by the world of Harry Potter, starting Monday, Aug. 18. The lineup includes four donuts representing the four Hogwarts houses and a Sorting Hat-inspired treat that hides a surprise inside.
House-inspired donuts
– Gryffindor: An unglazed shell filled with cookie butter-flavored cream, dipped in red icing, finished with Biscoff cookie crumble and gold icing drizzles, topped with the Gryffindor crest.
– Slytherin: An original glazed doughnut topped with chocolate and green buttercream, a chocolate cookie sugar blend, and the Slytherin crest.
– Hufflepuff: An unglazed doughnut filled with brown butter toffee-flavored custard, dipped in yellow icing, drizzled with chocolate, and sprinkled with cookie crunch, featuring the badger emblem.
– Ravenclaw: An original glazed doughnut dipped in blueberry icing, finished with sprinkles and the Ravenclaw emblem.
Sorting Hat donut
The Sorting Hat donuts share a chocolaty exterior—chocolate frosting with gold stars and a gold Sorting Hat—but each one hides a random filling in one of the house colors inside, so you might discover your “assigned” house with a bite. These are sold separately from the four house-themed donuts, which are available individually or in a dozen box with original glazed doughnuts.
Promotions and availability
Fans who dress up in Hogwarts-inspired attire on Saturday, Aug. 23 can score one free original glazed doughnut, with no purchase necessary. The five new donuts will be available starting Aug. 18, giving Potter fans a week to plan their taste-test and costume plans.
