Thanks to Good Housekeeping Magazine Be sure to go to the page because there are graphics of the menu and some cute other things. Quote: This New Harry Potter Cafe Is Absolutely Magical
Oooh. How fun would a visit here be? By Diana Bruk AUG 21, 2016 It's always a joy for Potterheads when a new location inspired by Harry Potter opens up around the world, reminding us all that our love of Harry knows no language or cultural differences. We couldn't stop drooling last year over the photos of a Harry Potter-themed bar that opened in Toronto, Canada, and now we're similarly awed by a Harry Potter-themed cafe that's opened in Islamabad. The Hogwarts Cafe was created by brothers Hassan and Haider Khan, who pass the Potterhead test. "Our childhood has been spent daydreaming about Hogwarts," Hassan Khan told The Huffington Post. "Turning 11 was a milestone for us while we sat in a corner of our homes with the hope that an owl would tap on our windows with a letter any time, but it never happened." As true fans, they transfigured the wonder of the books into their own location by serving homemade butterbeer ... ... and items from "Cho Chang's Kitchen," among other tasty treats. But the real draw is the extensive drinks menu, which looks just like potions bubbling over with sweet brew. |

I tried to read up on the one in Toronto (The Lockhart). Apparently it is a bar not a café (nuts). Most of the photos were blocked out and/or taken down. But this comment on the one page I found was interesting ... Quote: But the important part is really the drinks. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, there's no butterbeer, but there's a bunch of delicious signature cocktails instead. This link was the only page I could find with a few photos: https://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/the-lockhart-torontoThe one in Islamabad looks interesting indeed. At least it is a café and not a pub. The menu is awesome!! I wonder how long it will take before JKR shuts them down. There was this case: In October 2007, Warner Bros. sued a group constructing a façade during a Hindu religious festival in the Indian city of Kolkata for ₹2 million (US$30,000), claiming that they had erected a giant replica of Harry Potter's school, Hogwarts, without their permission. The list of JKR legal disputes has it's own page in the wikipedia site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_disputes_over_the_Harry_Potter_series |

Great! Thanks for the link. I'm interested in how many times she has summoned Dementors (lawyers) on people. |
