Attention Harry Potter fans: Unlock the secret to scoring a free Krispy Kreme doughnut!

Calling all witches, wizards, and even the most skeptical of Muggles!

Krispy Kreme is casting a spell over doughnut lovers everywhere, and you don’t need a Hogwarts letter to join the fun!

If you’ve ever dreamed of pairing your morning coffee with a magical treat, now’s your chance to make it happen.


Krispy Kreme is rolling out its enchanting “Houses of Hogwarts x Krispy Kreme Collection.”

This isn’t just a doughnut drop—it’s a full-blown celebration of the wizarding world, complete with spellbinding flavors and whimsical designs inspired by the four legendary Hogwarts Houses.

Whether you’re a brave Gryffindor, a cunning Slytherin, a loyal Hufflepuff, or a wise Ravenclaw, there’s a doughnut with your name (or at least your House crest) on it.

Here’s the real treat: On Saturday, August 23rd, Krispy Kreme is hosting “Houses of Hogwarts Day.”

All you have to do is show up at your local Krispy Kreme shop dressed in your Hogwarts House gear—think scarves, shirts, hats, or even a full-on robe if you’re feeling bold.

Flash your House pride, and you’ll be rewarded with a free Original Glazed doughnut. No spellcasting, no secret passwords—just a little bit of fandom flair.


But why stop at just one doughnut? The new collection features a lineup that’s as creative as it is delicious. Here’s what’s on the magical menu:

1. Gryffindor Doughnut​

An unglazed shell filled with cookie butter Kreme, dipped in red icing and Biscoff cookie crumble, finished with golden icing and the Gryffindor crest. Perfect for the brave at heart!

2. Slytherin Doughnut​

An Original Glazed doughnut topped with chocolate and green buttercream swirls, chocolate cookie sugar, and the Slytherin crest. Ambition never tasted so sweet.

3. Hufflepuff Doughnut​

An unglazed shell filled with brown butter toffee custard, dipped in golden yellow icing, drizzled with black chocolate, cookie crunch, and the Hufflepuff crest. Loyal, patient, and oh-so-tasty.

5. Sorting Hat Doughnut​

A filled doughnut with a mystery-colored Kreme (representing one of the four Houses), dipped in chocolate icing, sprinkled with shimmering gold stars and sugar, and topped with a Sorting Hat piece. Comes in a limited-edition box—because who doesn’t love a little surprise?

6. Golden Snitch Latte​

A golden caramel toffee-inspired latte, topped with whipped cream, Biscoff cookie crumble, and a sprinkle of golden shimmer sugar. The perfect companion to your magical treat.

You can order these doughnuts individually or as a custom box of four—one for each House, naturally.

For those who want to share the magic (or just can’t decide), a six-pack of specialty doughnuts will also be available at select stores.
