Each house doughnut is beautifully themed: Gryffindor is filled with cookie-butter Kreme, coated in red icing and Biscoff crumble; Slytherin features chocolate and green buttercream swirls with cookie sugar; Hufflepuff offers brown butter toffee custard under yellow icing with chocolate drizzle; and Ravenclaw presents blueberry icing and crest details. The Sorting Hat doughnut hides a mystery-colored Kreme inside and is topped with chocolate icing, gold stars, and a miniature Sorting Hat decoration. Fans dressing in Hogwarts gear on August 23 can receive a free Original Glazed doughnut. The collection will be available starting August 18 for a limited time.
