Krispy Kreme is tapping into the wizarding world of Harry Potter for its latest doughnut collection.

The new Harry Potter: Houses of Hogwarts x Krispy Kreme Collection arrives Monday, Aug. 18, for a limited time at participating Krispy Kreme shops nationwide, according to the Charlotte-based chain.

The lineup features five doughnuts inspired by the fantastical school for young witches and wizards, first brought to life in the acclaimed “Harry Potter” book series by author J.K. Rowling. The novels were later adapted into eight feature films.

“We’re channeling the beloved magic of Harry Potter™ and the Houses of Hogwarts™ for a collection that is truly bewitching,” Alison Holder, chief brand and product officer for Krispy Kreme, said in a news release.

What are the Krispy Kreme Harry Potter donuts?

Each treat is a nod to Hogwarts’ four houses:

  • Gryffindor doughnut: Unglazed shell doughnut filled with a cookie butter filling. It’s then dipped in red icing and topped with Biscoff cookie crumbles, gold icing and the Gryffindor crest.
  • Slytherin doughnut: Original glazed doughnut topped with chocolate and green buttercream, chocolate sugar cookies and the Slytherin crest.
  • Hufflepuff doughnut: Unglazed shell doughnut filled with brown butter toffee custard. It’s then dipped in yellow icing and topped with a chocolate drizzle, cookie crunch and the Hufflepuff crest.
  • Ravenclaw doughnut: Original glazed doughnut dipped in blueberry icing and topped with sprinkles and the Ravenclaw crest.
A dozen Harry Potter-themed Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are displayed in an open box on top of a vintage-style trunk. The box contains plain glazed doughnuts and doughnuts decorated with the crests of the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.

The lineup also includes a specialty Sorting Hat doughnut, filled with a colorful filling to represent each of the houses, Krispy Kreme said. The specialty treat, sold separately, invites fans to “take a bite to see which house you will reveal.”

Where can I buy the Krispy Kreme Harry Potter donuts?
