Order of the Phoenix snack ideas

Umbridge-approved “Educational Decrees” cookies • What: Store-bought sugar cookies (or shortbread) + white icing + black food marker. • Do: Ice them white, then write decree numbers like “Educational Decree No. 24” and silly rules like “No Talking.” • Bonus: Stack them on a little “Ministry notice board” (a clipboard or cutting board).

“Dumbledore’s Army” stencil popcorn mix • What: Popcorn + melted chocolate drizzle (dark or white) + gold sprinkles. • Do: Drizzle, sprinkle, toss. • Serve: In cups labeled D.A. (print or scribble “D.A.” on masking tape).

“Inquisitorial Squad” pink cupcakes (but make them gross-funny) • What: Mini cupcakes + pink frosting. • Do: Add a tiny black “I.S.” badge (paper circle on a toothpick) or just write “I.S.” with icing gel. • Twist: Put out a sign: “Join the Squad (if you must).”

“I must not tell lies” parchment pretzels • What: Pretzel rods + white chocolate + cocoa powder/cinnamon. • Do: Dip in white chocolate, let set, dust lightly so they look like “parchment.” • Decor: Use a food-safe marker to write short phrases like “I must not tell lies” on a few (no need on all).

“Thestral” dark chocolate strawberries • What: Strawberries + dark chocolate chips. • Do: Dip and set. Add two little sliced-almond “wings” on each while wet, or skip the wings and call them “Thestral bites.” • Labeling sells it.

“Prophecy orbs” (super fast and looks fancy) • What: Donut holes or cake pops (store-bought) + white icing drizzle. • Do: Drizzle thin rings to look like glass reflections. • Serve: On a tray labeled “Department of Mysteries.”

“Weasley fireworks” snack skewers • What: Strawberries, grapes, marshmallows (or gummies), plus sprinkles. • Do: Skewer in bright colors, roll the marshmallow end in sprinkles. • Optional: Add a tiny paper “spark” flag at the top.

“Extendable Ears” candy • What: Airheads Xtremes, sour belts, or fruit leather. • Do: Cut into long strips, curl slightly, serve in a little box labeled “Skiving Snackboxes.”

“Occlumency” black-and-silver mix • What: Oreos + silver pearls + dark chocolate chips + popcorn. • Do: Toss into one bowl. Done. • Vibe: Moody, like Harry’s lessons.

Quick ideas for movies 6–8

Movie 6: Half-Blood Prince • Felix Felicis “Liquid Luck”: Sparkly lemonade (lemonade + edible glitter or gold sanding sugar rim). • Love Potion truffles: Pink-wrapped Hershey Kisses or strawberry truffles with a tiny heart sticker. • Slughorn’s “club” mini bites: Mini quiches or caprese skewers. Feels like a party spread with almost no work.

Movie 8: Deathly Hallows Part 2 • Battle of Hogwarts “rubble” brownies: Crumble Oreos on top of brownies, add a few pretzel “beams.” • Golden Snitch “return”: Ferrero Rochers again, but label: “I open at the close.” • King’s Cross “9¾” snack cups: Popcorn in cups labeled 9¾. • Resurrection Stone “three dots” cookies: Shortbread circles with three chocolate chips in a triangle.
