Tim Hortons® invites guests to celebrate Back to Hogwarts with Harry Potter™ inspired menu items, merch, limited-edition packaging and more - launching August 12

Attention all wizards, witches and Muggles alike: Tims® restaurants across Canada are embracing the magic of Harry Potter starting Aug. 12 in celebration of Back to Hogwarts and the 25th anniversary of the beloved brand.

“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,” said Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer for Tim Hortons. “We’re exclusively bringing the magic of Harry Potter to QSR in Canada in true Tims fashion -- from donuts inspired by each Hogwarts House, to a Golden Snitch Timbit® and Timbit holder, spellbinding Patronus and Forbidden Forest inspired drinks, and limited-edition merch that guests will want to collect and share.”

Here’s a look at the Harry Potter magic coming to your local Tims starting Aug. 12:

Show your House Pride with Hogwarts House Donuts

Guests can choose the Gryffindor Strawberry Cheesecake Donut, the Slytherin Chocolate Pistachio Donut, the Ravenclaw Blueberry Donut, or the Hufflepuff Lemon Meringue Donut. Plus, everyone can enjoy Golden Snitch Caramel Timbits® and order them in a limited-edition Golden Snitch Timbits Holder.

Reveal Patronuses on a temperature-activated, colour-changing cup

Order Patronus Sparkling QuenchersTM or a Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quenchers and it will be served in a limited-edition cup that reveals a trail of Patronuses when it’s filled with its cold Quenchers. Patronus Sparkling Quenchers can also be customized with lemonade, protein dairy beverage, or frozen. Forbidden Forest Iced Tea Quenchers will be available at participating Tims restaurants where fountain beverages are served.

Collectable Harry Potter x Tim Hortons merchandise

In addition to the Golden Snitch Timbits Holder, Harry Potter fans can pick up a colour-changing Stir Wand, which is activated by cold beverages and turns blue to resemble the Patronus Charm. Participating Tims restaurants will also carry gift cards with a limited-edition Harry Potter “25 Years of Magic” design.

Harry Potter Trivia Night

On Aug. 28, participating Tim Hortons restaurants will host a Harry Potter Trivia Night to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the first Harry Potter film and the kickoff of the annual Back to Hogwarts celebration. A list of participating restaurants and more details will be available in the coming weeks.

From Aug. 17 to Sept. 6, guests who place an order at a Tims restaurant and scan for Tims Rewards, in the Tim Hortons app, or on TimShop.ca will be entered into a contest with a chance to win one of two grand prizes, each consisting of a magical Harry Potter VIP experience for two in London, England.
