A Toast To Professor McGonagall: Harry Potter Color Changing Cocoa Now At Costco

The significant impact of the Harry Potter series on culture is an understatement. It shaped an entire generation, teaching those who grew up with it the values of friendship, courage, loyalty, sacrifice, resilience, and acceptance. Perhaps that’s why, even though the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, was released in 2011, it still excites that same generation of adolescents, now all grown up. Whenever we encounter Harry Potter-related products—be it Halloween costumes, Butterbeer at Universal Studios, or fandom merchandise—it brings back a wave of nostalgia.

This may be why we are losing are minds from the latest product drop of the Harry Potter Color Changing Cocoa, as spotted by @costcohype via Instagram.

In light of the recent heartbreaking news of Maggie Smith’s passing—fondly known to many of us as Professor McGonagall, the Head of Gryffindor House and our beloved Transfiguration teacher—her spirit will endure for eternity through the profound influence she had on us over the years. This holiday season, I believe we can honor her memory in a small but meaningful way by savoring every sip of Harry Potter-themed hot cocoa.

For just under $15, you can head to Costco to purchase the magical color-changing hot cocoa. With your purchase, you’ll receive a variety of cocoa packets in different colors, marshmallows, two stir sticks shaped like wands, and two cocoa mugs designed to look like cauldrons. There’s no sorcery involved—all you need to do is find the cocoa at select Costco locations, add water, stir, and watch the magic unfold!
