Hogwarts on the rocks: Harry Potter-themed bar opens in Toronto

At The Lockhart you can order a Befuddlement Brew while flicking through a copy of the Deathly Hallows, but there’s plenty for non-Potter fans as well

The Lockhart, which opened in Toronto’s west end last week, is a “casual neighborhood bar”, according to co-owner Matt Rocks. But look closely, and a few things stand out: there are “potions” instead of cocktails, the occasional costume-clad patron strolls in for a pint of “Befuddlement Brew” and the books on the shelves are all written by the same author: JK Rowling.
The Lockhart is a bar for any muggle who has dreamt of Hogwarts, but non-enthusiasts are also welcome.
