Overview
Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, made famous in the Harry Potter books, offers a delightful array of unique ice cream flavors. Whether you prefer soft-serve or hard-pack, this pastel-colored shop with its vintage charm will transport you right to the Wizarding World. Admire the window displays featuring spinning ice cream cones, and don’t miss the light-up cone on the roof. While the shop itself doesn’t have seating, you can find some in Carkitt Market. Just be sure to keep your ice cream safe as you pass the fire-breathing dragon atop Gringotts Wizarding Bank!

Fun Facts
Florean Fortescue may be a minor character, but he makes quite an impression on Harry Potter. In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry frequents The Leaky Cauldron and often studies in Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour. Besides serving Harry ice cream sundaes every half-hour, Fortescue offers advice on his History of Magic report. Turns out, Fortescue is not only a master ice cream maker but also knowledgeable about medieval wizards.
In addition to the interesting backstory of its proprietor, Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour is known for offering “hundreds-and-thousands” as a topping – or as we Americans call them, sprinkles. This attention to British vernacular is just another example of the Wizarding World’s dedication to theming.
