Ask anyone about holiday traditions and they're bound to have something associated with food that comes to mind. Costco is making this even more of a fact with a new release for the holiday season: Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts: Official Wizarding World Cookbook. Read on to find out why this $20 purchase is worth its weight in Galleons.

More than munchable treats

Parade's Kenn Bivins is a "certified member of the House of Hufflepuff, and... Badger crest proudly." This enthusiasm for the house located near the Hogwarts kitchens certainly gives them the authority and inclination to enjoy a cookbook patterned after Harry Potter and other aspects of the wizarding world. Says Bivins, "If you're short on spellbinding recipes, Harry and the entire Hogwarts gang have you covered with their jam-packed book of wizard-y delights."

The tantalizing Instagram reel from Costcoaisles shows the book with a book that draws any magic user in with its world-spanning cover illustration. We not only see Hogwarts and the Burrow, but Hagrid's hut and even the Eiffel Tower. Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts: Official Wizarding Cookbook incorporates not only the tales that take place in England and Scotland during Harry's Hogwarts years, but also call back to the Parisian adventures of Newt Scamander. It even has Newt's Niffler lounging happily on the cover.

It's hard to pin down exactly what is in the book during the reel's flip-through, but it definitely has something for Butterbeer and the rest looks delightful. It also boasts a 16-page guide to making party favors and games.

This book is perfect for anyone wanting to turn their home into Molly Weasley's kitchen for the holidays. It is also on sale as HBOMAX leaves audiences quite famished with every episode of its Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking cooking competition. You can play-act the thrill of this culinary face-off if you're feeling a bit competitive. If you'd like a Christmas dinner that doesn't end up with someone wiping mashed parsnip from their spectacles, perhaps you should just enjoy its contents for the chef's resource that they are.
