The internet is buzzing right now with the magical collab between Krispy Kreme and Warner Bros. – the brand-new Harry Potter Donuts: Houses of Hogwarts Collection. These limited-edition donuts celebrate all four Hogwarts houses with special colors and flavors:
- Gryffindor: bold red and gold with crunchy cookie crumbles.
- Slytherin: sleek green with chocolate cookie topping.
- Hufflepuff: golden yellow with buttery toffee custard.
- Ravenclaw: deep blue glaze with sparkling sprinkles.
There’s also a fun Sorting Hat Donut that hides a surprise filling (your Hogwarts house is revealed when you bite it!) plus a Golden Snitch Latte sparkling with caramel-toffee magic. Sounds amazing, right? The only problem: these donuts are only available in the U.S. until September 14, 2025. But don’t worry—you can make your own Harry Potter donuts at home!

✨ Harry Potter Donut Q&A ✨
1. Can I bake the donuts instead of frying?
Yes! Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 12–15 minutes until golden. They’ll be lighter and less oily, though frying gives the fluffiest texture.
2. What if I don’t have food coloring?
You can use natural alternatives! Try beet juice for red, matcha for green, turmeric for yellow, and butterfly pea flower for blue.
3. Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Absolutely. Let the dough rise once, then refrigerate overnight. The next day, shape, proof again, and fry/bake.
4. How do I make the Sorting Hat surprise filling?
Pipe colored buttercream (red, green, yellow, or blue) inside the donut before glazing. When bitten, the filling reveals the Hogwarts house!
5. How do I keep donuts soft for longer?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days. For longer storage, freeze and reheat gently before decorating.
Krispy Kreme’s Harry Potter collection might be limited, but with this easy recipe you can bring the magic straight to your kitchen. So, tell me—if you got sorted today, would you go for a bold Gryffindor donut or a cool Slytherin donut first?
