To celebrate the upcoming release of 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,' XO Marshmallow has teamed up with Harry Potter to create a wizardly marshmallow collection. Of course, don't expect any ordinary flavors from this collaboration; instead, the brand is serving up some magical new options for Potterheads.
The wizardly marshmallow collection is courtesy of XO Marshmallow, which is known for its gourmet treats. Each of the new flavors is inspired by a different Hogwarts House and its distinct characteristics. For instance, Slytherin is represented by a savory dill pickle marshmallow that appropriately matches the house's signature green hue. Other flavors include Sriracha Honey for Gryffindor, Blackberry Brown Butter for Ravenclaw, and Turmeric Orange for Hufflepuff.
If you don't know which marshmallow is right for you, XO Marshmallow says you can always take the hat quiz to determine your perfect Hogwarts housing fit.
