The partnership features themed food items, colour-changing cups, collectible merchandise and a contest for a trip to London, England.
“Harry Potter has been a beloved part of so many of our guests’ lives for decades and we couldn’t be more excited for Canadians to discover the wizarding world at Tims restaurants,” Hope Bagozzi, chief marketing officer for Tim Hortons, said in a news release.
The menu includes four Hogwarts House-themed donuts: Gryffindor Strawberry Cheesecake, Slytherin Chocolate Pistachio, Ravenclaw Blueberry and Hufflepuff Lemon Meringue. The chain is also serving Golden Snitch Caramel Timbits, which can be purchased with a collectible Golden Snitch holder.
Cold beverage options include Patronus Sparkling Quenchers and Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quenchers served in temperature-activated, colour-changing cups that reveal a Patronus design when filled.
Additional merchandise available at participating locations includes a colour-changing stir wand and themed gift cards. Select menu items will also be served in Harry Potter-branded packaging featuring easter eggs for fans while supplies last.
Starting Aug. 17 through Sept. 6, Tims Rewards members who scan their app or order online will be entered into a contest to win one of two trip packages for a VIP experience in London.
