Bonnie Wright’s jam club has a released new flavor this month. She celebrated by posting a photo of what looks like a perfect way to enjoy the preserve, which is on toast for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Bonnie was joined by a feline friend, but any magical creature will make a perfect breakfast companion (just keep an eye on the teaspoons if you’re dining with a Niffler).

Speaking of enjoying food, Afshan Azad (Padma Patil) shared a funny moment from her recent trip to London that we can definitely relate to.
Talk to me about how embarrassed we were when the waiter told US to cancel items from the menu because we’d ordered way too much. He told US to cancel the food. LOL.
