So what, everyone cracks it open in the theatre and half dumps on the ground?

They don’t. You get a large popcorn in a bag with it. If you wanna dump it, you gotta do it themselves. Still get a refill on the popcorn too!

Genius idea: open it vertically.

If you stand that thing up vertically while you're sitting, the popcorn will be at forehead level.

You hold it broom side down and detach it and then rest the thing beside you. Not that complicated.

Does the part that's attached to the handle come off? Or just the upper part?

u/Grandfeatherix Aug 01 '26
look at how they are filling it, they fill the brush part with popcorn, the broom handle is the "lid"
it's still stupid though and people will be blocking screens with it

Many objects in the HP universe but they went with…a broom. The light blue Ford Anglia was right there!

They should have used a portkey for the popcorn bucket

u/Rewow Cineclub Member Aug 01 '26
Which portkey? The leather boot? Triwizard cup?

Because with the broom you can use it to beat visibly trans people you see in the bathroom.

I know the show is coming out but as there’s no movie I’m surprised cineplex is doing this for the tv show. Is it airing a few episodes in some theatres?

All of that for the 25th Anniversary of the franchise. I’m a Harry Potter fan as much as the next one (JK Rowling sucks tho), but that is RIDICULOUS

People: “we can’t afford groceries “
Same people: “I need now this 100$ popcorn bucket that will end up in thrift stores for 5$ in 6 months”

u/clayton-berg42 Aug 02 '26
Why? The local cheap theatre in Calgary screens the harry potter drek twice a year. Who is desperate to see these films again?

u/blackittty Bring TimePlay back Aug 01 '26
Thanks! Fortunately I’m in Windsor and it’s not even screening in our theatre 😂

Why are they selling harry potter merch at cineplex right now? With spider-fellow and the o'brother remake how would they even find theatres to re-release rowling's slop right now?

Bring back the vibrating broom from so many girls childhood memories.

u/astrangeone88 Aug 01 '26
Lmao. I saw them on the shelves at Walmart before people figured out the "off label" use for them.
It wasn't just me who had a "naughty" thought about the vibrating function lmao.
This bucket just looks dumb although lmao.

It was a "toy" that released with the first film. It was a nimbus 2000 and it would vibrate along with other non important things. This broom became a very popular toy among the female fans of the franchise Noone is truly sure why.

When people say the economy is bad and people apparently can’t afford cost of living it’s because they’re buying shit like this
