“Expecto Popcornum!” Harkins Theatres Joins the Harry Potter Back to Hogwarts Celebration with Hogwarts House Popcorn Buckets. Witches, wizards, and Muggles alike, rejoice! Harkins Theatres has announced it will be offering its own Harry Potter-themed popcorn collectibles, making them the second major theater chain to join the “Back to Hogwarts” celebration. While Regal Cinemas maintains its exclusive status for its tumbler and book-shaped tin combo, Harkins is now providing a magical option for fans to get their hands on a Hogwarts House-themed popcorn bucket.
The announcement comes as both Regal and Harkins celebrate the return of all eight Harry Potter films to the big screen for a limited time. Harkins Announced: The spell is cast! From August 23 through September 17, relive the enchantment of the wizarding world with the Harry Potter Back to Hogwarts series at select Harkins locations. See all eight films for only $35 with the All Access Pass, no Floo Powder required! Plus, Harkins Awards Members receive a $5 Bonus Award with every Season Pass purchased.
Starting August 23, while supplies last, moviegoers can choose their house allegiance—Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin—and collect one or all four of the Harry Potter Hogwarts House Popcorn Buckets. The bucket will be available at select Harkins locations showing the “Harry Potter Back to Hogwarts Series.”


To make the cinematic experience even more magical, Harkins is offering a special All Access Pass. For just $35, fans can see all eight films in the series. As a bonus, Harkins Awards Members will receive a $5 Bonus Award with every All Access Pass purchase.
This new offering from Harkins provides a fantastic alternative to the collectibles at Regal Cinemas. Regal previously announced its own exclusive Harry Potter collectible combo, which includes a special Hogwarts House Cup tumbler and a book-shaped popcorn bucket tin. Regal’s Instagram account celebrated the return of the films and the collectibles, stating, “Happy Birthday, Harry 🪄✨Get your Harry Potter Collectible Combo at Regal. Featuring a tumbler and book-shaped popcorn tin, you can represent your Hogwarts house with pride. Get yours when you see the Harry Potter movies at Regal, back in theatres for a limited time.”
The price for the Regal combo has now been confirmed to be $30.00, which aligns with previous expectations. The combo includes both a tumbler and a book-shaped tin for a single price. Meanwhile, the Harkins popcorn buckets, while a separate offering, provide another excellent way for fans to show their house pride.
With two major theater chains offering unique and collectible items, fans have more reasons than ever to go “Back to Hogwarts” and celebrate the timeless magic of the Harry Potter series.
The Harry Potter Hogwarts House Popcorn Buckets are designed and made by Golden Link, which was just recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records for “Largest popcorn container commercially available”.
