A Bertie Bott's Toast-Flavoured Bean

Harry Potter and the Dursleys had toast for breakfast while staying at the hotel where they were trying to hide from the mysterious letters that were addressed to Harry in 1991.[2] They also had toast for breakfast one morning in 1992, and Harry glumly went back to his after what he thought might just be a birthday wish by Vernon Dursley turned out to actually be an announcement regarding his plan to make a deal to sell drills to Mr Mason.[3]

It was also served at the Weasleys', and on one occasion in 1994 when Amos Diggory was speaking to Molly Weasley through the Floo Network, she offered him a piece of toast, using fire tongs to place it in his mouth.[4]

It was also served at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry every year, during the Start-of-Term, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Christmas, Hallowe'en, Yule Ball, Welcoming, and End-of-Term Feasts, floating around between the tables.[5][6][7][8]

Toast was the favorite food of Giant Squids, with both the Hogwarts Giant Squid and the Giant Squid at the Magical Creatures Reserve loving to snack on it. Students would often feed the Giant Squid that lived in the Great Lake toast which they had taken from the Great Hall, and many like Fred and George Weasley were highly amused by watching its tentacles fly up in the air and snatch the toast. During the 1986–1987 school year, Jacob's sibling used the Fire-Making Spell to turn a stack of ordinary bread into toast which they could feed to the Giant Squid at the Magical Creatures Reserve.[9]

Egg on toast was a breakfast dish served at Hogwarts. In 1994, Percy Weasley went to join Penelope Clearwater in having a piece of toast in The Great Hall after explaining to Harry Potter that he didn't have ten Galleons, although he had bet that much on the outcome of the upcoming Quidditch match.[10]
