Sweets

= Sweets (Harry Potter) =
Sweets or confectioneryHarry Potter Shop are sugary confections including chocolate that were very popular in the Muggle and the wizarding world. In the wizarding world, they could have magical properties.
==Overview==
While sweets and chocolate in the Muggle world could be bought by witches and wizards, including sherbet lemons, the wizarding world had a selection of their own sweets and chocolate that could be enchanted to be less ordinary. Confections could even be jinxed or hexed, a speciality of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, a joke shop. Their confectionary offerings included Canary Creams and Ton-Tongue Toffees, as well as the Skiving Snackbox, a collection of treats which might be self-administered to delay or avoid some unpleasant task, such as an examination.
==History==
In 1981, Minerva McGonagall watched Dudley Dursley crying and shouting at Petunia Dursley, demanding sweets.
In September 1991, Harry Potter was taking the Hogwarts Express when the lunch cart full of food and drink arrived at the compartment he and Ronald Weasley had been sitting in. Having never had money to buy sweets at the Dursleys, he decided to buy everything they had to offer. He and Ron soon started cluttering the compartment in sweets and wrappers and couldn't eat everything by the time they arrived at Hogwarts, so they stuffed their pockets with whatever sweets they still had.
Throughout the school year, Draco Malfoy's mother sent him plenty of sweets every day through owl delivery which he gloated about. At Christmas time, Harry was sent plenty of sweets including a box of Chocolate Frogs.
When he was in the Hospital Wing at the end of the school year, Harry was given lots of sweets and the table was piled high and looked like a sweet shop. When Professor Dumbledore wanted to speak to Harry, he told Harry that they had better start eating the sweets and opened a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. The Professor revealed that he had lost his taste for them after eating a vomit flavoured one in his youth, but decided to try a golden brown one, believing it to be toffee. Unfortunately the bean turned out to be earwax flavoured. Madam Pomfrey later tidied up the sweet boxes.
In October 1992, Harry spent a few days in the Hospital Wing and was sent boxes of sweets again. In October 1993, Harry was introduced to an abundance of new sweets which Ron and Hermione Granger bought him in Honeydukes. In December, Harry snuck into Honeydukes and they bought a bunch of products. Zonko's sold sugary products including Hiccup Sweets too.
When the Weasley family visited 4 Privet Drive to pick up Harry for the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, Fred Weasley deliberately dropped a Ton-Tongue Toffee which Dudley Dursley ate, making his tongue grow uncontrollably. The Weasley twins were aware of Dudley's bullying Harry and wanted to get back at him. The twins later attempted to sneak some toffees into the Cup but their mother's Summoning Charm confiscated them.
In the summer of 1995, Fred and George Weasley began developing a new kind of sweet, Puking Pastilles in the early stages of what would be their shop, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. In 1996, at the very end of the school year, students of Hogwarts sat outside in the sunshine eating sweets.
In the summer of 1996, Horace Slughorn was getting deliveries including baskets of sweets, causing Harry to wonder how the Death Eaters hadn’t tracked Slughorn down through the delivery. One of Slughorn's favourite sweets was Crystallised Pineapple. Tom Riddle may have taken advantage of his weakness for it to gain information about Horcruxs.

==Behind the scenes==
*Sweets and chocolate based on products in the Harry Potter series can be purchased through a variety of shops and official exhibitions including studio tour at their shop, and .
*Dumbledore mentions losing his taste for Every flavour beans "in his youth"; though as the sweet was created in the mid 20th century, it must have been as an adult teaching at Hogwarts. However, given Dumbledore's age at the time he made this statement, "youth" may have been a relative description.
