- — Description[src]
A Liquorice Wand was a wizarding sweet that was shaped like a wand and made of liquorice; they may or may not have come in a variety of flavours. Liquorice Wands were sold in abundance on the Hogwarts Express food trolley,[2][3] and at Honeydukes sweet shop in Hogsmeade.
History[]
When they were young, Jacob and his younger sibling pretended to duel with Liquorice Wands.[4]
On 1 September, 1991, Harry Potter bought every sweet available from the food trolley on the Hogwarts Express, including some Liquorice Wands, as he had never had wizarding sweets before and wanted to try everything he could.[2]
On the Hogwarts Express in 1994, Ron thought about buying one, before realising that it was too expensive for him to afford.[5]
In 1995, "Liquorice wand" was one of several password guesses Harry Potter made when he wanted to gain entrance to the Headmaster's office, so that he could tell Albus Dumbledore about a vision he had involving Lord Voldemort.[6]
On 1 September, 1996, Horace Slughorn invited several students to his compartment on the Hogwarts Express, in order to find new members for the Slug Club. He told his guests that he had brought his own lunch, as he recalled the trolley being "heavy on Liquorice Wands," and felt that such things would not sit well with "a poor old man's digestive system."[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- In episode "Treehouse of Horror XII" of The Simpsons, in particular the segment "Wiz Kids" which spoofs Harry Potter, Bart replaced Lisa's wand with a "Twizzler", a popular sweet in the United States of America, which is originally made of, ironically, liquorice.
