Skidmore Hillel hosted a Harry Potter themed dinner. Which got us thinking, what foods best represents the Harry Potter characters?
The answer is:
Harry-Ice Cream
Ice cream, a classic dessert, represents the classic hero. Harry went through some cold phases with his friends, but he also has his sweet moments. Harry also can end up in the middle of a mess but he is always there for his friends, which is why ice cream is his food-patronus.
The answer is:
Ron-Nachos
Ron is not known for being the classiest or the smoothest. Ron is also dependable and loyal. Ron also likes to eat, which is why nachos with their abundance of toppings is a great fit for Ron.
The answer is:
Hermione-Breakfast Smoothie Bowl
Hermione always has the answers, even if you don't want them. Breakfast bowls are a great boost for your day, and Hermione is a busy person so she needs her energy. Hermione is practical, like this food.
The answer is:
Hagrid-Birthday Cake
Hopefully we all remember when Hagrid gives Harry his first birthday cake. Hagrid is loyal and caring, and though he can be sloppy at times is intentions are true. He also really cares about Harry, which is why his food patronus would be birthday cake.
The answer is:
Draco Malfoy-Sushi
Draco is a true Slytherin, known for being cunning and cold. Like sushi paired with ginger or wasabi, a Slytherin can seem bitter and harsh at first. The sticky rice represents the fact that Draco is loyal to those he cares about, and the colors of all the sushi fillings represent his changing evolution throughout the series.
The answer is:
Dumbledore-Pancakes
Dumbledore is kooky and sweet. It is easy to picture Dumbledore pouring mountains of whipped cream on his pancakes. Dumbledore is also very reliable, like pancakes. Being in cahoots with him may seem sticky at times, but he always manages to come through in the end.
The answer is:
Professor McGonagall-Cinnamon Bun
McGonagall can be sweet--when she wants to be. She also has spice, nobody would want to mess with her. She also sticks by whoever needs her help. She can be a disciplinarian, but it is only to make her pupils better in the long run.
