Harry Potter house cupcakes are now a thing and we are not worthy


Hands up if you're still obsessed with Harry Potter? Same. If you're a true Potterhead with a copy of a first edition, you might want to read what we found out about the Harry Potter books' worth (hint: you could be sitting on a small fortune). And for any witches and wizards wishing to treat themselves in the run up to Christmas, there's a Harry Potter beauty advent calendar to satisfy all of your bath bomb needs.
For anyone with a sweet tooth, never fear - there's something for you, too. Harry Potter house cupcakes now exist and are available at ASDA. What a time to be alive!
The light sponge, frosted cakes come adorned with the Hogwarts House mascots, so whether you're a Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, you'll be able to tuck in.
The tray of 12 cupcakes comes in at £8, which is an absolute bargain in our eyes, and it also comes with a DIY bookmark for anyone who is re-reading all the books for the 246th time.
If you prefer a celebration cake, guess what? There are four of those on offer, too, each one decorated with the Hogwarts house crests and costing just £4.
And if you really want to push the boat out, you can get your hands on the full Hogwarts crest cake made up of chocolate sponge with chocolate filling and finished with a sparkling golden hue.
While the cupcakes are exclusive to ASDA, you can buy the celebration cakes and the larger Hogwarts crest cake in Tesco in stores and online.
