Honeyduke’s Licorice Wands | Harry Potter

Free Printable Packaging· Harry Potter· JK Rowling· Sweets and Candies

25 Sep

He had never had any money for candy with the Dursleys, and now that he had pockets rattling with gold and silver he was ready to buy as many Mars Bars as he could carry – but the woman didn’t have Mars Bars. What she did have were Bettie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs. Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Licorice Wands, and a number of other strange things Harry had never seen in his life.
Not wanting to miss anything, he got some of everything and paid the woman eleven silver Sickles and seven bronze Knuts.

-Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, K Rowling

Make licorice wands based on the original Harry Potter wands, or with the free printable packaging we've made for you, you can package licorice sticks as wands and make quick and easy party favors for your Harry Potter party.

Did you ever get those licorice cigars or pipes as a kid? We used to play ‘all grown up’ with those. Pretend we were puffing away on them.

…and ‘as a kid’, I mean a few weeks ago when we were road tripping across Ontario.

Us?

Grow up?

Nevah.

I imagined licorice wands to have the same appeal to under-aged wizards. The littlies who weren’t allowed to have a wand yet. So you get thrilled when you get a licorice wand and flick it around pretending you’re doing magic.

And then you eat it.

To make this, I needed to make a wand mold. I based it off of Harry Potter’s wand, but I’ve added photos I took at The Making of Harry Potter/ Warner Bros Studio tour we did in London, so you can choose which wand you want to style it off of. I’ve uploaded the full sized file(~5-6MB), so just click on the images for a closer look.

I made mine based on Harry Potter’s wand. Using air dry clay, I rolled a 20cm ‘snake’ of clay. Press harder as you roll on one end to create the tapered wand effect. Then go in with sharp objects (I used tweezers). For Harry’s wand, his handle is 1/3 the size of the wand. So at the 13-14cm mark to the 20cm end, create wood lines. Just drag your tweezers lightly. I liked using the tweezers since I could get two lines at once, but also pinch the tweezers at times to create unevenness. Do some lines lightly, some deeper. At the 13 cm mark, there also seems to be an angled edging, so I took a pencil on its angle and dragged it up slightly. There’s also a knot of wood on Harry’s wand handle, so add a little blob and smooth it in.

Let it sit for 24 hours to dry.

Once dry, I took a hot glue gun and created the last two bits of the handle (if you’re good with clay, by all means sculpt it). But by taking the hot glue gun and dabbing a blob of glue and dragging it down (following the wood lines), it creates a natural knotted wood effect.

With this dry, you have two options- cornstarch/cornflour mold or food grade mold. I tried both to see how they would work.

Cornstarch Mold

Making a cornstarch mold is the nice cheap way. Messy at times, but cheap.

Silicone Mold

My life revolves around food grade silicone putty when I’m creating unusual things. It’s my lifeline. Especially with Willy Wonka food where I need to make my own shapes. Or, in this case, licorice wands in the shape of Harry Potter’s wand. I buy Casting Craft Easymold Silicone Putty from Amazon, and it comes as a 1 pound kit. It lasts me a while and the molds are there to use another time.

 

And now, to put it all together…

[amd-zlrecipe-recipe:28]

And finally, packaging. You can’t just have a wand laying around! While licorice wands are Honeydukes, I took the Ollivander logo and altered it to be a Honeydukes label, and placed it on a wooden style ‘wand box’. The ‘907’ was some text from a website (but from where I can’t remember… eep) and the label was from an image I took of wizard wand boxes at The Making of Harry Potter in the Ollivander’s store set.

    Great idea! I’m wondering how many wand molds you can get out of the silicone putty. Also what can I do if I’d prefer not to use the anise oil? Can I just leave it out or do I need to replace it with another flavor? Black licorice isn’t a family favorite.

      It’ll depend on what putty container size you have. You could probably get a few made though. They have strawberry liquorice in stores, so you could probably replace the flavour with that? 🙂

    Hello, I was wondering whether you ever tried making a cornstarch mold for your slug recipe? I’d rather not have to use the silicone mold and I was wondering whether you had tried it..

      Not for the slug recipe, but I did for the licorice wands. I can’t say it made my life easy, but yes it’s doable if you want to avoid the silicone. The detail might not be as perfect though.

    How do you get a wand shape on both sides using the cornstarch mold? Do you make two and stick them together somehow? Or are you just limited to a flat-sided wand?

    Reply

      They’re just a flat sided wand- I’ve yet to figure out how to make it completely 3D.

    Is the wand just made of chocolate? Sorry to sound silly, there just seems to be no direction under the ingredient section, so I’m assuming it’s just a chocolate fill into the mold.

      Hey, No it’s made of liquorice, but it looks like my recipe disappeared! So thanks for drawing my attention to it. Will fix it up shortly.

    Love all of your posts and I appreciate you sharing to make it easier for us to celebrate Harry Potter’s world. Would it be possible for you to make a box without a label or to change the word licorice to chocolate for those of us that want to make chocolate wands instead?

    Hi there,

    I’m planning my own Harry Potter party at the moment and absolutely love the look of these liquorice wand. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the recipe for the liquorice. Could you point me towards it, please? That would be absolutely amazing.

    Thanks in advance 🙂

What a Halloween that was! 🎃 Incredibly gratef What a Halloween that was! 🎃
Incredibly grateful that we were able to celebrate, even though we did things a little differently. 
With a spider theme in mind, my parent's house was covered with a mixture of white weed mat and cheesecloth. The faux spiderweb material we only used on branches, since the darn stuff is sticky and a nightmare to remove! 🕷️🕸️
Kudos to mom who did the majority of the work, adding in faux dead leaves, branches and trees, turning springtime into one magical night of autumn. Dad was in charge of sound effects and lighting.
Typically we hide as characters or creatures in the garden which slows the kids as they come up to the door, giving them time to look around. They can never tell if something is going to move or not!
Being 2020 though, the 'tension' of coming up to the house was broken because the witches were outside. We placed ourselves at a table with an entrance and exit pathway, reminding them to "stay one broomstick apart"! Let's hope next Halloween we're back to 'normal'. We'll have to make up with some extra scares! 🎃  📸 Photos by our Halloween photographer, dad 😉

'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration 'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration for our yard haunt back in 2016. Of course, we had to have him in a field of cornstalks... a tricky task when you live in Australia and it's actually coming into springtime!  Dried banana leaves, with its leaves shredded, were tied to old stick fencing. Lit from below, you would've believed the headless horseman was somewhere nearby. 🎃  #halloweenyardhaunt #Halloween

Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- a small action that makes an ordinary moment meaningful. It's our way of acknowledging, enjoying, being excited, even grateful, for 'right now'. In years like this one, where we can find ourselves wishing for 2020 to be over, it can be even more important for  these moments. ⁣
So instead of focusing on how I found myself time-warped from early September to the end of October, I'm going to simply celebrate the best week of October.⁣
⁣
200 years ago, Washington Irving published his short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Some homemade decorations like a Sleepy Hollow sign, faux 'cornstalks' mixed with some storebought decorations have my house filled with October vibes to celebrate the bicentennial. 🎃⁣

Mixing up a batch of Bilbo’s buttered scones is an easy way to start the morning off right (and doable before work).  I’ve also jumped back onto Youtube to make these alongside you, but- and I guess this reflects the year- I’m changing up my approach to videos. I’ve relaxed my style, and slowed my pace to capture the comfort of baking and cooking that I love so much.  #lotr #lordoftherings #thehobbit #thelordoftherings #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #hobbitday #bookworm #hobbitweek #foodinliterature #bilbobaggins
