If the main characters in Harry Potter were to ever get cereal endorsements, no doubt the boxes to those scrumptious and magical creations would resemble these Sean Clark cartoons. Coming in four great varieties which include Harry Potter’s Potter Puffs of Corn, Lord Voldemort’s Horcrux Crunch, Hermione Granger’s Granger Grains and Ron Weasley’s Weasley Wheats, these Hogwarts breakfast foods cleverly reflect the personality of each iconic J.K. Rowling character.
Sean Clark’s patented brand of humor is littered throughout the box designs, though it does raise the question of why the massively popular wizard franchise hasn’t fully branched out into meal-specific food merchandising yet.
Of the four options available, the cereal based on Ron Weasley sounds the most appealing.
