Universal Orlando officials said Thursday that the one-millionth mug of the delicious frothy, butterscotchy libation was sold over the holidays inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction, which has been open only since June. The nonalcoholic drink, served cold or frozen, was inspired by the Harry Potter stories of J.K. Rowling, whose characters regularly tipped a pint or two. Rowling approved the secret recipe for the butterbeer now served at the park. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, situated inside Universal's Islands of Adventure, has a been a sensation, boosting park attendance 36 percent in its first three months.

One of them was frozen and one regular. What's intersesting is that the foamy top of the drink is something they pump onto the liquid, like the way they pump whip cream onto coffee at starbucks.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I'm always wondering if my daughter is old enough to read them to. She's not afraid of the movies, but I don't know. How did your daughter react to them?
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I'm not X, but I can tell you our experience CC. My daughter is 5 and my son is 7. We started with HP with them a year ago. My daughter finds it boring, my son loves it (books and movies). But they do like dark things (Coraline, tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Nightmare Before christmas, Star Wars etc.)
Originally Posted By Mr X Well, we haven't read them ALL yet. She likes HP though, and she was super excited to learn about the new zone in Orlando (*sigh* if only she understood how expensive $3,000 for plane tickets is, the kid is 6, growing up in Asia, and has already been to WDW, as well as NYC twice, New England thrice, and a good portion of Florida beyond WDW as well! Not to mention Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea about a zillion times!).
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Dave my kids like dark things too. They love all of those movies you mentioned too. My three year is obsessed with Jack Skellington. My daughter, who's almost 7, is never afraid of things in movies. I guess it's time to start reading them with her.
