World Market boasts many of advent calendar’s right around that time of the year. I was able to get my hands on the Harry Potter Jelly Bean calendar and try their ten different flavors. There are a total of twenty-four meaning there are some repeated flavors. Here are my opinion on the flavors.
- Blueberry- This flavor was delicious, I give it 4 out of 5 stars for the classic taste. What creature was Albus Dumbledore’s Patronus?
- Cherry- This was a typical “fake” cherry flavor and a solid 3 stars. With exceptional skills in potions, who was Head of Slytherin House?
- Green Apple- Green Apple isn’t a favorite of mine but this jelly bean did have a good flavor so I was say 2.5 stars. The stone of the Marvolo Gaunt’s ring was known as what legendary artifact?
- Tutti Fruitti- They could have named this one bubblegum as that is exactly what it tastes like to me but I did enjoy it and rate it 3 stars. Where was Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup hidden?
- Green Apple- Repeat, 2.5 stars. Known as the most famous Auror of all time, who sacrificed an eye during the Wizarding Wars?
