Butterbeer is the soft drink of choice for younger wizards. Harry is first presented with the beverage in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Though it has no noticeable effect on a thirteen-year-old human, butterbeer is strong enough to cause drunkenness in a house-elf, if consumed on a regular basis. J. K. Rowling said in her interview to Bon Appetit magazine that she imagines it "to taste a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch." Butterbeer can be served cold or hot but either way it has a warming effect.

The mascot of the Quidditch team the Ballycastle Bats, Barny the Fruitbat, is used in butterbeer advertisements. In these advertisements, Barny says: "I'm just batty about Butterbeer!"
