Harry Potter Butterbeer Bar: Italian Soda/Dirty Drinks with Torani!

The magic of Hogwarts isn't the moving staircases, the trolls in the dungeon, the 3 headed dog guarding a trap door, the live photographs...it's the Great Hall and the amazing food!  Am I right!?  The never ending piles and spreads of food.  Everything you can imagine and could possibly want. You'll notice if you watch the shows closely, there's hardly any green veggies.  There's no rice, pasta or carb filler.  It's just the good stuff.  Piles of chicken legs and baskets of buttery corn!  This is truly why everyone wants their Hogwarts acceptance letter.  You know you would have been just like Ron, 2 hands--2 chicken legs!
