"Accio beer!" is way cooler than "beer me, bro."
There is now a Harry Potter-themed bar in Toronto, as if alcohol needed to be more magical. It's called The Lockhart, a tribute to one of many Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. The logo -- a hart with a lock for an eye -- is a nod to Harry's Patronus, because we could all use a bit more guidance for a night of drinking.

The bar is designed to look like an apothecary, with Harry Potter-inspired flourishes all around. When quizzed about what their favorite Hogwarts subject would be, co-owners Matt Rocks and Paris Xerx naturally both responded, "Potions."

The bar even caters to Death Eaters. The menu warns that the Jalapeño Death Shot, "is not recommended for human consumption."
