In this week’s episode of The Case For, Jim and Chris dive deep into the foamy, sugary mystery of Butterbeer – from its first mention in Prisoner of Azkaban to its billion-calorie domination of Universal’s theme parks. Along the way, they track the near-miss Disney deal, J.K. Rowling’s taste-testing power, and exactly why Len Testa is currently horizontal. It’s a sweet, strange, and slightly sticky journey through theme park history. 
FEATURE
• How Butterbeer evolved from J.K. Rowling’s books to real-world theme park phenomenon

• Universal’s long development process, the top-secret taste test in Scotland, and why the drink became a runaway hit
• The many forms of Butterbeer across the Wizarding World, from frozen to fudge to the notorious cream puff
