Honeydukes

As it should be, Honeydukes is a shop in Hogsmeade that you can buy delicious delicacies from. They have the chocolate frogs, the Bertie Bott’s every flavour beans, treacle fudge, and various other tempting treats.
It’s quite colorful and fun. There are several cute little cakes, like the pumpkin pastie, that I would have loved to try. The fudge and caramel apples, and pumpkin juice are all gluten free but many of the other delicious items, while looking magical, are probably sprinkled with extra gluten. Anyone know a spell to remedy this? Glutimous reducto. Shoulda tried that.
The shop is a bit small, gets pretty tight when there’s a line. Wouldn’t have minded if the shop had a few more things to look at/​interact with.

As with all the other shops at the wizarding world of Harry Potter, the interior and feel of Honeydukes was no exception. As soon as I stepped inside, the bright and colorful interior of the store really made it seem like I was stepping inside Honeydukes when it was first introduced in prisoner of Azkaban. My sister and I were so excited to try out some of their treats, especially those that were inspired from the book. The candy floss (aka cotton candy) was okay, and jelly slugs were okay as well, both didn’t really exceed our expectations, but then again they were just cotton candy and gummy worms so how can one really complain. The chocolate frogs, however, are a different story. I have to give credit where credit is due, and the packaging was remarkable. Just what I imagined a real chocolate frog to be, just minus the frog actually moving, and the picture in the card moving as well, but they really did their best in terms of the box and the trading card. My real problem was with the chocolate, and the quality of chocolate they used. With the prices they sell these for, I was expecting at least good quality chocolate, but these tasted like Hershey’s, or even those chocolate baking barks they sell at the supermarket. I couldn’t help but compare them to confections sold at Disney, sold at $ 4 – 5 a pop, but of pretty good quality. I was extremely disappointed and let down, but I couldn’t let this hinder my Harry Potter experience. Just opt for a frozen butterbeer if you’re in Hogsmeade and craving something sweet.

What?! I never reviewed Honeydukes?
Honeydukes is probably my favorite place in Hogsmeade. It is just. like. the. movie. I can’t help but be giddy every time I walk in. From the chocolate frogs to chocolate cauldrons, and every flavor beans, they leave no stone unturned.
It’s bright, colorful, and expertly themed. On top of the popular treats from the movies and books, they also offer fudge, cupcakes, and other confections. These make for some amaaaazing souveniers. Pro tip: If you stay at an on site hotel, you can have your purchases sent to your room. That way, you don’t have to worry about chocolate getting everywhere during your day at the park. Let me tell you, you do not want anything getting in the way of your fun! They even sell some of the themed drinks like Gilly Water, Pumpkin Juice, etc. I was so happy to see that since I first came in 2010, it seems like they expanded Honeydukes. You know what that means… more sweets for us!
TL; DR: Just go.

A must visit! Tip: don’t buy chocolate unless your going back to your hotel and even then the trip is hazardous. This seems an obvious tip but we saw many kids trying to eat chocolate wand puddles and getting it everywhere! Granted they seemed happy so there is that.
The atmosphere is amazing! It’s just like being in the movies!
We visited twice, once at four and again at six. At four the store was much less crowded. (The other park Diagonally closes at five for Halloween nights so everyone over there came over to hogsmead)
In both cases the staff were friendly, engaging and super helpful. I even saw a wizard talking to a child having a «I want candy» meltdown and tried to help calm him down.

Honeydukes was the first shop my fiancé and I stopped at when we visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL recently. Though we didn’t buy anything (since it was fairly early in the morning and we didn’t want to carry food around all day), we loved checking out the famed chocolate frogs and the Bertie Bott’s Every-​Flavour Beans in this whimsical candy shop. They have all sorts of sweet treats, including pumpkin juice and fudge. I’d highly recommend visiting later in the day so you can take some treats to go!

Loved the ambience of the store. Great experience but candies were way overpriced for muggle candies.

This store makes you feel like you’re in the movie!
The down side is that the store is very small and the prices are pretty high even for a theme park! If you’re on a budget but still want to get something sweet I’d recommend getting the cauldron cake! 6 different kinds of chocolate shaped like a little cauldron. I bought mine at the end of my trip and it was still moist and delicious the following day! It’s about $ 4 but considering they get 11 for a chocolate frog I didn’t think that price was too bad

I love Harry Potter! I love candy! I love Honeyduke’s!
Be it Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, or sherbet lemons, they are here in Honeyduke’s. They even sell pumpkin juice, which is quite welcome on a very hot day. The caveat is that they are pricey. But then again, you kind of pay for the experience of reliving some of Harry Potter and gang’s sweet treats (that is how I rationalized it to myself, anyway).
But even if the prices deter you, Honeyduke’s is a must. How much were sweets a part of Harry Potter’s adventures? This is the chance to try and have some magical sweets, my fellow Muggle.

Adorable store! It’s not very large and can get crowded but the décor, atmosphere, and candy make up for it. I bought a chocolate frog, which was $ 11, and huge! It was almost the full length of my hand and around an inch and a half tall, and SOLID MILK CHOCOLATE. I also bought a Cauldron cake and one of Hagrid’s famous rock cakes. They were also both delicious and pretty big! The cauldron cake was Around $ 4 and the rock cake around $ 3. So it wasn’t expensive at all. This is a definite stop in your visit to the WWOHP.

Best place to get a sweet treat in Universal! Especially if you’re a Harry Potter Fan.
FYI, this place has a more diverse selection of candies than the Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes at Diagon Alley, but that store has more joke/​gag toys, of course. I ended up buying stuff at both stores, when I could have just bought everything at Honeydukes. At least you don’t have to carry it around all day, you can just pick up at the entrance later on. Also, Honeydukes has the whole dessert case part with the cupcakes and fudges you see all over Universal’s park, along with some HP-​themed treats.
Of course nothing is cheap, most of the candy is like $ 6 – 15 but it’s fun to give that stuff out! Or eat it yourself. The Exploding Bön-​Bons and Bertie Bott’s Every-​Flavor Beans are great. Only gripe is I wish the quality of the chocolate was slightly better, this tasted about as good as Russell Stover (ugh)

Sweets lovers rejoice, Honeydukes is your heaven.
I don’t eat candy as often as I used to, but I really enjoyed browsing this large shop for edible souvenirs to bring back home. They have an extensive selection of sugar candies, such as sweet peppermints, sherbet lemons, and every flavour beans. Chocolates include solid chocolate frogs (with one of five different wizard trading card inside each box), chocolate wands, and chocolate cauldrons. They also have caramel apples, cookies, fudge bars, and cupcakes by the cash resister.
Some items are also available at Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes at Diagon Alley. As usual, every bring is overpriced, but you wouldn’t expect anything less from a theme park.

Chocolate frogs, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Cauldrons… you name it, they have it! Ice cold pumpkin juice is available to wash it all down, in true wizard style!
The Chocolate Frogs really have collector’s cards in them, which I thought was fan freakin tastic. This place is worth a stop if you have a sweet tooth, for sure.
The prices are on par with the rest of the fare in the Wizarding world, which means you’re not looking at gas station prices– but this is NOT gas station candy!
Check it out, and try something new!

Great store if you’re a sweet addict but it’s all very expensive. A choc covered frog cost $ 11! Jr. Unilocaler had to buy one and Hubby had to buy a jar of «U No Poop» for $ 7.
It’s a glass jar basically filled with green colored M&Ms. He plans to stick it in the bathroom for laughs. I told him it’s expensive M&Ms just for toilet decoration.
We tried 2 items in the pastry section — the vanilla cupcake with huge dollop of pink butter cream was very pretty but didn’t taste that good. Because the butter cream was so large, it made for awkward eating and after consuming ¹⁄₃ of it, it fell right off the top of the cupcake. Spent $ 5 to lose the butter cream.
The choc cauldron cake was very moist and good. For $ 4, I’d get the choc cake again and skip the vanilla cupcake.

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, this is a must! If not, stop in anyway and get the Cauldron Cake. My husband and I split one and it was fantastic! Chocolate cake dipped in chocolate, whipped mousse in the middle, with a chocolate handle, oh my it’s yummy. They sell pumpkin juice in the bottle here, and a ton of sweets. Chocolate frogs will run you $ 10 a pop, and the chocolate cauldrons make for a great ice cream sundae bowl later. Don’t forget Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans to put out at your workplace for unsuspecting coworkers who always eat your candy.

I love you Honeydukes.
Candy galore, candy up the staircase and fridges full of Pumpkin juice!
After a long hot day, there is nothing better than grabbing some chocolate frogs and pumpkin juice to keep you going. I’m sad they got rid of the «toy» store to expand Honeydukes, but if you love HP and candy this is your zone. Prepare for a long line, but fast moving!
Universal also made HP land WAYYYYYYYYY to small.

I was really hoping for crystallized pineapple! But alas, they didn’t have it. The cauldron cakes looked fabulous, but I’m really not a big chocolate fan and the shop girl boated about 7 different types of chocolate in that cake. Woah. I already had some chocolate frogs and other various treats from Diagon Alley, but I enjoyed seeing sugar quills, blood sucker lollipops, and the fabulous licorice hair! Even if you don’t want candy, pop in to see some fabulous treats from the books come to life.

Yes to the candy and yes to the cauldron cakes! Wow! I spent way too much money here but everthing was delicious! The cauldron cake was super moist and the layers were awesome! We also came out with fudge flies, chocolate frogs, bertie bott’s every flavor beans (avoid rotten egg!!), fizzing whizzbees (the best!!), exploding bon-​bons, and dark chocolate bars (they were buy one, get one free). The ladies working here were very nice and one of them was cracking us up by never breaking character. The shop is colorful and full of sugary temptations! Stop in but don’t be shocked if your candy purchase breaks the bank.

Honeydukes is that one candy shop you come out of saying «Did I just spend $ 60 on candy??»
But you know what, I don’t even care because it’s HONEYDUKES, the most magical and beautifully decorated candy shop where you can get every single treat described in the Harry Potter books, although they don’t all have the same magical effects (sadly).
Chocolate Frogs: I pretty much bought this for the collectible card, but I was pleasantly surprised that the frog was solid and not hollow unlike some of the other «chocolate frogs» I’ve eaten. The cashier that rung me up was super into character and reminded me to eat the hind legs first so that they couldn’t hop away, which made me laugh.
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans: I had a lot of fun eating this with my friend. We went straight for the gross flavor like rotten eggs, soap, bogies, and sausages. Some were tolerable, while others (like the sausages one) were just terrible and we had to spit it out immediately. BLEH!
Fizzy Wizzbees: MY FAVORITE! Bee-​shaped milk chocolates with pop rocks inside. Also fun to eat!
Acid Pop: Extremely sour lollipops. I didn’t really like these after I got through the layer of sour stuff. It just tasted super artificial and flavorless.
I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend you buy chocolates at the end of your visit. They will melt and lose their novelty because they will just be chocolate blobs.

I popped into Honeydukes to fulfill childhood fantasies of chocolate frogs and pumpkin juice.
I immediately grabbed a Chocolate Frog… for the card, of course.
Then every flavor beans, which I’ve left unopened for fear that I’ll hit an Earwax bean.
The chocolates with the pop-​rock-​like insides are great. Those were my favorite. I was sad when I didn’t have any left… and now I can’t even remember their name :(
The pumpkin juice is like drinking a pumpkin pie. A sip or two is good, but I couldn’t really get past that point. I went outside for a frozen butter beer afterward.
…Fizzing Whizbees! Those are the best ones!

I never thought I would ask myself where I could buy chocolate frog, Bertie Botts, Chocolate Imps, or Fudge Flies?
But, when I came here, I realized what I was missing.
I wound up buying a lot of unique souvenirs here, and enjoyed every minute of it.
Floor to ceiling full of candy and fun!
