Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans are one of the most famous treats in the Harry Potter world. They were invented by accident, so the story goes, when Bertie Bott was trying to make sweets based on food, but accidentally made one taste like a dirty sock. He recognized the amazing potential: A risk with every mouthful! His creation became so popular and made him so famous that he got his own Chocolate Frog Card.

While Bertie did intend for them to have every flavor, there’s only 102 known flavors in the Wizarding World. We’ve taken some time to definitively rank every single one of them, from the best… to the absolute worst!

Orange 

This sweet and tangy fruit already makes for a fantastic jelly bean. Imagine the magical version of these!

Blackberry

Has blackberry-flavored anything ever been a mistake? This is a Bertie Bott’s Bean we’d be delighted to find.

Blueberry Pie

We’re not sure how this would differ from regular blueberry—maybe it’s even sweeter than the blueberry bean? 

Sugared Violets

You may think that flowers wouldn’t taste good, but you’d be wrong. These sweet and floral desserts are great at the holidays, and would be delicious as jelly beans.

Strawberry

There’s a reason that nearly every candy has a strawberry flavor: It’s practically perfect. It’s good to know that tradition holds true in the Wizarding world too. 

Candyfloss

In the US, this delicious and sugary treat is known as cotton candy. It’s already sugary and delicious, how could it ever be less than wonderful as a jelly bean?

Peach

This sweet summer dessert is a great addition to the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Bean carton. 

Vanilla Ice Cream

Even just vanilla would have been good. But vanilla ice cream? This would be delicious. 

Grape Jelly

The only way to improve on an already delicious fruit is to add sugar to it. And then to transform that into a jelly bean? Bertie Bott is a genius. 

Watermelon

This is a classic candy flavor because watermelon is delicious. Then transforming that right into a magical candy? Couldn’t possibly go wrong. 

Green Apple

This sweet, tart, and sour fruit would make a great addition to the Bertie Bott’s box. We can’t wait to try the magical version.

Toffee Apple

These are a great fall dessert, and the Bertie Bott’s version would have to be amazing. 

Blueberry

Blueberries are a classic dessert flavor. How could this go wrong?

Lemon

Sweet and sour is always a delicious combination. These jelly beans already exist and they’re delicious; no reason to think the magical version wouldn’t be delicious too.

Coffee

Will it also energize us? Either way, we’ll risk a light brown bean in hopes that it’s coffee. 

Pear

This soft and sweet fruit is already a great jelly bean. We’re excited to see Bertie’s version. 

Éclair

Who says no to an éclair? That chocolate, pastry bread, and cream combo is a delicious addition to all of Bertie Bott’s other flavors. 

Toffee

How could this dessert made solely of brown sugar and butter not turn out amazingly? 

Toffee Pudding

This list of 102 flavors includes toffee, toffee apple, and now toffee pudding. Seems like Bertie Bott might really like toffee. 

Chocolate Cake

 

Plain old chocolate is also a flavor in the Bertie Bott’s box, but we think the cake version would be slightly more delicious, assuming the flavor includes cake icing.
