These delicacies are the delight of Hogwarts students, and carry the added attraction of coming with cards. Rowling says she likes food to be identified in books in great detail, and that’s exactly what she does herself with her endless inventories of goodies such as Jelly Slugs, Fizzing Whizbees, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, etc. (One of her favourite authors, Elizabeth Goudge, featured food significantly in her book The Little White Horse). The idea of the cards forms an easy identification with children who would buy certain items to collect cards featuring movie stars, soccer players, etc.
