TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2026 /CNW/ -- To celebrate the recent launch of Harry Potter-inspired menu items, merch, limited-edition packaging and more that is now available at Tims® restaurants across Canada, the Tim Hortons restaurant at 815 Caledonia Rd. in Toronto has been given a magical makeover!

The iconic Tims restaurant exterior has been replaced with a stunning Harry Potter x Tim Hortons design inspired by the collaboration's limited-edition packaging which is full of easter eggs for Harry Potter fans.

The interior of the restaurant features a magical makeover with celebratory displays inspired by moments and scenes from the Harry Potter film series including Platform 9 ¾ and the Hogwarts Great Hall – complete with a Sorting Hat themed photo opportunity for guests to experience.

"We want Harry Potter fans to be able to imagine that they have stepped into the wizarding world the moment they arrive for their Tims Run," says Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer for Tim Hortons.

"From Platform 9 ¾ to the Great Hall and Sorting Hat, every detail of this magical celebration was designed to spark that same sense of wonder so many of us felt when discovering the wizarding world for the first time. And the experience pairs perfectly with the Harry Potter x Tim Hortons menu fans already love."

The themed restaurant will open to guests today at 5:00 p.m. and will be available for guests to experience for a limited time!
