Feel free to remove\/add\/replace dishes so it makes sense for you and your guests. I\u2019ve included an <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAGzKYSzAUk\/-3KZyHsupjE9f8mJU_lKxA\/view?utm_content=DAGzKYSzAUk&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=publishsharelink&amp;mode=preview\">editable menu<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in this guide to make it your own!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing Your Time<\/strong>&#8211; These movie nights can take a lot of time to prepare, especially if you plan on doing everything yourself. If you are planning a culinary movie night with a group, I suggest doing a potluck style. Have each person contribute a dish or two, and it\u2019ll be very manageable. If you are planning on preparing everything yourself, here are some things I\u2019ve learned while doing these often:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make A To-Do List<\/strong>&#8211; I can\u2019t stress this enough! It\u2019s very easy to forget simple things like opening a bottle of prosecco before you start the movie so you aren\u2019t fumbling with the seal before serving. I have done this so many times! Your to-do list should include absolutely everything you need to do leading up to pressing play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start Early<\/strong>&#8211; I learned this after a few very long days of trying to cook, prepare, and host all on the same day. Anything that can be done in advance should be done during the days leading up to the movie night. Some examples include pre-mixing cocktails, making desserts and other foods like soup that hold up well in the refrigerator, and pre-making any handmade decorations. Hosting is stressful enough without having to make a multi-course meal in one day, so get as much done as possible before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Pausing<\/strong>&#8211; The question I get asked the most is \u201cDo you pause the movie to bring out the next dish?\u201d. It\u2019s important to me that I don\u2019t disrupt the flow of the movie, so I do not pause. It\u2019s also important to me to enjoy the movie with my guests. Setting up everything I need before the movie helps me bring out each dish efficiently. The setup usually includes plating each dish and storing it in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is quickly microwave it before serving. I set out any garnish or decoration on my kitchen counter so it\u2019s easily accessible. I even pour the cocktails into their cups and store them in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is add ice and any finishing touches before serving. Always think about how you can do the bare minimum during the film. I always include the setup in my to-do list as well, so I don\u2019t forget about any aspect of the preparation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional<\/strong>&#8211; If your budget permits, I recommend ordering food that you may not be confident in cooking or food that may take a lot of time to cook. I do this occasionally, and it helps cut down the preparation time and supports local businesses. Win Win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decorations-<\/strong> Have fun and decorate your space and serving tray! Add elements from the theme of the movie, but make a budget and stick to it! I usually use things I already own because these movie nights are DIY, and I don\u2019t need to spend a fortune to make it fun. If I do buy decorations for the movie night, I try to find cheap or reusable things. If you are curious about some of the things I\u2019ve used during the movie nights, here is a link to my <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/theliterarytart?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_aipsfshop_M6XH77EQPDB8J34W1MMZ&amp;language=en-US\">Amazon List<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. All these items are things I bought with my own money and enjoyed using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage Stress-<\/strong> Culinary Movie Nights are fun and a great way to show your friends and family you love them. Sometimes, things you envision in your head will not come out perfectly. When this happens to me, it can be discouraging and stressful, but the people I do these for have NEVER expressed anything but appreciation. Go easy on yourself and remember that your guests are just happy to be there and to experience something you put so much thought and time into making.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Menu<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I have created a free, editable, and printable menu for all the dishes I served for this Culinary Movie Night!

It does not describe the scene the dish is based on. Some people get confused with that, so I thought I should specify. Because the cues only give you a few minutes to prepare the dish, it&#8217;s <strong>very important<\/strong> to have everything cooked and set up before the film starts. Review the &#8220;<strong>Tips<\/strong>&#8221; section above for ways to make this seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I often get asked why I don&#8217;t use time stamps to keep track of when to serve the next dish, and the simple answer is, I don&#8217;t find those helpful. If I used timestamps, I would have to have a separate timer going or keep disrupting the movie to check the timestamp. It makes much more sense to have cues to indicate when the next scene is about to happen. This allows me to enjoy watching the film with my guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Below is the link to the cues I used.

Start by washing your lemon and then use a potato peeler to peel the lemon skin. You want the part you peel to be as wide as possible, so you have room to carve out the lighting shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend having a few lemons on hand because it took me a few tries to get the right shape for the lightning. Carve out the shape using a knife. I premade these and stored them wrapped in a wet paper towel so they stayed fresh.

If you buy the writing frosting like I did, I recommend testing the consistency before touching the cake. If it\u2019s too runny, add powdered sugar to thicken it up. Also, make sure to massage the bag because it could be an issue with the ingredients clumping inside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I got cocky and tried to save time by freehanding the writing.

IDK\u2026 Hagrid just screams rum raisin to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever\/\">Chocolate Cake Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cookpad.com\/eng\/recipes\/333929\">Rum Raisin Buttercream Filling Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong> &#8211; (You can also soak your raisins in rum for an extra zing LOL!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetmouthjoy.com\/pink-buttercream-frosting\/#recipe\">Pink Butter Cream Frosting Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When decorating the cake, make sure to add that curvy line using a toothpick or knife. To save time on the day of the movie night, I baked the cake the day before, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and stored the in the freezer. Freezing cake keeps it fresh and makes it easier to decorate because the cake won\u2019t crumble when you\u2019re spreading the buttercream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also suggest poking holes in the cake with a toothpick and drizzling simple syrup on the cake before freezing. This is an optional step, but it\u2019s a pro tip bakers use to make their cakes extra moist. Trust me\u2026 it makes a huge difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decorated the cake the morning of movie night and let it sit out on my counter to thaw for the rest of the day. By movie time, it was moist and ready to serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/PXL_20241027_162629108-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1080\" style=\"width:417px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/PXL_20241027_162629108-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/PXL_20241027_162629108-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/PXL_20241027_162629108-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/PXL_20241027_162629108-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/PXL_20241027_162629108-1542x2048.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/PXL_20241027_162629108-scaled.jpg 1928w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1004\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-114756-1004x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1083\" style=\"width:417px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-114756-1004x1024.png 1004w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-114756-294x300.png 294w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-114756-768x784.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-114756.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Rags To Riches<\/summary>\n<p>The Trolley Scene!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this scene, I wanted to replicate the boy\u2019s mess as they tear through all the candy packages. I scattered the candy wrappers on the tray and added gummy worms and chocolate frogs that I made from a <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41Zglei\">silicone chocolate frog mold<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. I also saw these orange wrapped candies on a stick, so I used Ferrero Rochers and wrapped them in <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4mrkr6r\">orange foil<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. You also can\u2019t forget <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46q90FQ\">Bertie Bott\u2019s Every Flavour Beans<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. They mean EVERY FLAVOUR! To complete the assortment of candy, I also added gummy worms, nerd clusters, and Ferrero Rochers to a mason jar. You can pick whichever candies are your favorite to add to this. The important thing is quantity and variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cute Touches<\/strong>: These are optional, but I wanted to add some cute touches to this trolley candy tray that reference this scene from the movie. One thing I did was have a <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4e4mZ7K\">stuffed rat as Scabbers<\/a><\/span><\/strong> with his head stuck in a <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46q90FQ\">Bertie Bott\u2019s box<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. The second thing I did was tape an empty picture frame with a plastic cover to the tray to look like the train window. I then used some of the pink buttercream frosting from Hagrid\u2019s cake to stick a chocolate frog to that picture frame to make it look like the frog that jumped out of the train window. Rotten Luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Make Chocolate Frogs<\/strong>&#8211; You will need <strong>2 cups of chocolate chips<\/strong> and <strong>2 tbsp of coconut oil<\/strong>. (Save half of the melted chocolate to make the sprinkle-covered cones from the Halloween feast). Add these ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well and microwave for another 15 seconds. Stir well again and keep microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring in between. It\u2019s important not to expose chocolate to too much heat because it has a high sugar content and will burn easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your chocolate is melted, fill the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41Zglei\">silicone frog mold<\/a><\/span><\/strong> with the chocolate. Wiggle the mold a bit to make sure the chocolate is evenly distributed. Place the filled mold in the refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes. When the chocolate is completely hardened, gently pop the frogs out of the mold. I prepped these the day before movie night to save time the day of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115025-750x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089\" style=\"width:563px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115025-750x1024.png 750w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115025-220x300.png 220w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115025-768x1048.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115025.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Start of Term Feast<\/summary>\n<p>I wanted to go all out with this scene because Hogwarts\u2019 feasts always look incredible! I chose to feature two proteins I saw on the table: A rack of lamb and chicken wings. I also served sides including dinner rolls (store bought), peas, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themediterraneandish.com\/roast-lamb-rack-recipe\/\">Lamb Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I did to make the lamb extra tender is brine it overnight. To brine the lamb, you just need to keep it submerged in cold salt water. It\u2019s an easy step and well worth it! I also tied the lamb up after cooking it and stood it up in the mashed potatoes. I used cooking twine to tight it up. It was standing up like this in the movie which is why I chose to serve it like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.askchefdennis.com\/cajun-chicken-wings\/\">Cajun Wings Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mashed Potatoes:<\/strong> To make the mashed potatoes, keep it simple to save time. Boil your potatoes, I used <strong>Russet Potatoes<\/strong>, and when they are tender, drain the water. Using a potato masher, mash your potatoes. Then, add a few <strong>tbsp of butter and heavy cream<\/strong> and mix the potatoes until the butter is melted. Add <strong>salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary powder,<\/strong> and keep tasting and adjusting your seasonings to match your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peas and Corn on the Cob:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used the same seasonings for both vegetables. I kept it simple by using <strong>salt<\/strong>, <strong>black pepper<\/strong>, <strong>dried parsley<\/strong>, and <strong>garlic powder<\/strong>. I got the small corn on the cob from the frozen vegetable section in the grocery store, as well as the peas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by boiling water in a medium-sized pot. Once it\u2019s boiling, add your frozen corn on the cob. Make sure they are fully submerged in the water. Add more water if necessary. Bring to a boil again and let them boil for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drain the water, and while the corn is still hot, add some butter and your seasonings (to your taste). Toss the corn so it is evenly coated with butter and seasonings. Remove the finished corn and in the same pot, add your frozen bagged peas. Heat on the stove top at medium heat. Add more butter and seasonings to your taste and stir occasionally. Peas wrinkle when they are overheated, so make sure to only cook them for about five minutes. You can try one pea to test it when you think they are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving Tips:<\/strong> This scene has a lot of food, so to save time, I recommend having everything plated before you start the movie. You can keep them stored in your refrigerator with plastic wrap covering the top. Microwave to reheat before serving. I microwaved multiple things at once to save time, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"949\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115048-949x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1090\" style=\"width:567px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115048-949x1024.png 949w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115048-278x300.png 278w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115048-768x829.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250916-115048.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Bombastic \u201cHermione\u201d Side Eye<\/summary>\n<p>In this scene, Seamus is trying to turn water into rum, so I made this drink rum-based. They also drink a lot of pumpkin juice in Harry Potter, so I made that a featured flavor too. The cup Seamus had was a silver mug, so I used my Renaissance mug to match. If you don&#8217;t have something similar, a small punch bowl will work too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe is for a large punch bowl, so I quartered all the ingredients to make a smaller batch. I also recommend premixing this drink so it\u2019s quick to serve. I pre-mixed mine the day before movie night and stored it in the refrigerator. Then, when it was time to serve, I just added ice to my mug and poured my premixed drink.

I purchased the mini cones from Trader Joe\u2019s. They are also filled with chocolate and are so yummy! If you don\u2019t have access to a Trader Joe\u2019s you can also use ice cream cones cut in half to make them shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need <strong>2 cups of chocolate chips<\/strong> and <strong>2 tbsp of coconut oil<\/strong>. (Save half of the melted chocolate to make the chocolate frogs from \u201cRags to Riches\u201d). Add these ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well and microwave for another 15 seconds. Stir well again and keep microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring in between. It\u2019s important not to expose chocolate to too much heat because it has a high sugar content and will burn easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the chocolate is melted, dip your mini cones in the chocolate and then roll them around in a bowl full of the sprinkles. Lay out the sprinkled cones on a parchment-lined baking sheet. When they are all dipped, store the baking sheet in the refrigerator so the chocolate can harden. It\u2019ll take about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakedbyanintrovert.com\/mini-apple-pies\/\"><strong>Mini Apple Pie Recipe<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe folded the pies in half, but I chose to make them circular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/apple-fritter\/\">Apple Fritter Recipe<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the elements on this tray can be made one to two days in advance, so you can save time on prep the day of movie night. Just make sure you store everything in an airtight container. I had this tray set up before I started the movie, so it was easy to grab. I have multiple trays, but if you are limited on trays, you may have to reuse one from a different scene.
