Actress Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood
in the "Harry Potter" film series, likened the taste to
butterscotch.
"Butterbeer is the drink that all the Hogwarts students drink,"
she said.
Lynch said she was thrilled that the bottled butterbeer - which
is non-alcoholic - came in a vegan version.
"I actually didn't drink any butterbeer in the movies," she
said. "That's more for like the cool kids, the Gryffindors."
When Harry Potter New York officially opens its doors to the
public on June 3, customers will be able to choose from draft or
bottled butterbeers and eat butterbeer ice cream. Nearly 1,000
bottles hover over the bar while butterbeer moves through copper
pipes.
The retail store, at over 21,000 square feet (1,950 square
meters) and spanning three floors, will also sell a huge
collection of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts products.
Author J.K. Rowling's seven "Harry Potter" novels about a boy
wizard have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide and were
turned into eight blockbuster movies. She followed up with a
spin-off movie franchise, "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find
Them."
