🍬 Availability & Popularity
Ice Mice are sold at Honeydukes Sweet Shop and occasionally on the Hogwarts Express trolley. They are particularly popular during warmer months, as students find the cooling effect refreshing. The novelty of the squeaking sounds also makes them a favorite among younger students who enjoy surprising their friends.
📖 Background
The exact magical process used to create Ice Mice remains proprietary to their manufacturers, though it likely involves charm work to maintain the frozen state without melting at room temperature. The squeaking effect is achieved through a clever combination of temperature-reactive charms and minor sound-producing enchantments.
