A magical treasure hunt! There can be as many as twenty different flavors of the wizarding world's Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans in each bag. But bags are randomly filled at the confectioner and may not contain all flavors listed in the flavor guide. Best to buy more than one bag if you want to sample every available flavor. Do use the attached flavor guide. You don't want to mistake "green apple" for "grass"! Not for children under age 3.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE ORIGINAL!!, August 14, 2010

WARNING!! These are no longer made by Jelly Belly!! When they first came out, Jelly Belly handled them and they were great, yes even the nasty flavors...well, at least they were authentically flavored anyway. Now, evidently the folks at Warner Bros. decided to go cheap after the license ran out for jelly Belly. These new ones by some candy company I've never heard of are HORRIBLE. Even the ones that are supposed to taste good. They don't taste much like what they're supposed to and we had trouble figuring out what flavor was what. These don't taste much better than the cheapo jelly beans you can find at Easter. I had assumed based on the similar packaging that they were the same. The odd shaped little uglies should have given me a clue...Jelly Belly NEVER puts those in with their regular beans.

Unless you're just into torturing your palette, steer clear of these rip-offs. They're a poor substitute for the originals.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inauthentic, August 11, 2010

I was disappointed when I bought these beans at the Harry Potter Expo. The flavors have nothing to do with Harry Potter. I don't mind extras, but the manufacturer should include all of the flavors written in the book. A devoted Harry Potter fan will be looking for: chocolate, peppermint, spinach, liver, tripe, bogie/booger, pepper, vomit, toffee and earwax. Previously, I enjoyed the beans including these authentic flavors, as well as other interesting ones that fit the theme such as grass and dirt. Where did they go? This set includes only one flavor from the book (pepper) and the rest seem completely out of touch with the theme. While others may find these fun, I find no point in buying something as a fan when the item has nothing to do with the thing that I love. I hope they bring the real beans back!

1.0 out of 5 stars Sad Replacement For Originals, October 10, 2010

It's true - the old Jelly Belly version of this product was superb; the new version (by the Frankford Candy Company) is pretty bad. In the old Jelly Belly version, the flavors were picked from the books/films, and the flavors were shocking but somehow still delicious. Apparently the Frankford company took over the license, and the new beans are terrible. The flavors don't match anything from the books, and even the ones that are supposed to taste good are waxy and gross. This is a real shame. I don't think I'll be buying the Bertie Botts Beans anymore. Jelly Belly has come up with "Bean Boozled" which is a similar-themed product, and although the flavors are up to the Jelly Belly standards, it's missing the old Harry Potter themed flavors, and of course the HP packaging etc. We're out of luck on this one!
