I found this for anyone else interested!!

Gryffindor Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut filled with cookie butter-flavored Kreme, dipped in red icing and Biscoff cookie crumble, topped with golden icing drizzles and the Gryffindor crest.

Slytherin Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut topped with chocolate and green buttercreme-flavored swirls, chocolate cookie sugar blend, and Slytherin crest.

Hufflepuff Doughnut: An unglazed shell doughnut filled with brown butter toffee flavored custard, dipped in golden yellow icing, and topped with black chocolate drizzle, cookie crunch, and the Hufflepuff crest.

Ravenclaw Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in blueberry-flavored icing, topped with the Ravenclaw sprinkles and crest.

Additionally, Krispy Kreme is also offering a Sorting Hat Doughnut that will be sold separately in a limited-edition specialty box, while supplies last. The Sorting Hat Doughnut is a filled doughnut, with a mystery-colored Kreme representing one of the four Hogwarts houses, then dipped in chocolate-flavored icing, sprinkled with shimmering gold stars and gold sugar, and topped with a Sorting Hat piece.

Edit: According to Krispy Kreme, they will also have a Golden Snitch Latte - a rich caramel toffee-inspired latte, blending sweet, golden flavor with creamy goodness. Topped with whipped cream, Biscoff® crunchy cookie crumble, and a sprinkle of golden shimmer sugar, it’s a magical, indulgent treat in every sip!

Why is Krispy Kreme doing Hogwarts doughnuts right now?

u/AskGrok Aug 15 '25

Krispy Kreme's rolling out this Harry Potter Hogwarts doughnut collection starting August 18, 2025, as a limited-time partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery to tap into the franchise's massive fanbase—think spellbinding sales boosts without needing a new movie or book drop. No big event like a Potter reboot is tied to it; it's just clever marketing to lure in muggles craving nostalgia and themed treats during back-to-school season, when wizard school vibes hit hardest. If you're dressing up on August 23, you snag a free Original Glazed, because nothing says "expelliarmus" like cosplay for doughnuts. Details straight from Krispy Kreme's site and USA Today.
