Since the first adaptation hit theaters in 2001, the Harry Potter films have stolen both the hearts of the books’ millions of fans, and non-readers alike. We here at Bigelow Tea love the role that a nice cup of tea has played in the series.

Served as a social drink among Harry and his friends as well as all the instructors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it seems that tea-drinking has carried over into real life for Harry himself, played by Daniel Radcliffe.

Like Emily Blunt, Radcliffe was also looking to pick up some good habits, starting with drinking tea!  He even passed the good practice onto the rest of the people on set, serving tea to anyone who asked. Now that’s service!

Check out the sixth movie in the series Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, out this month to rave reviews!

Tea is often the beverage of choice during celebrity interviews. And perhaps it’s no wonder due to tea’s purported ability to soothe the throat and nerves as well. Which is why we shouldn’t be surprised to learn that actress Claire Danes has been known to sip peppermint tea during interviews with reporters. Or that Cate Blanchett also goes for a mint tea.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling doesn’t stop there, however. The successful author has even been caught prescribing herbal tea with honey and lemon to her interviewers!
