Harry, Hermione and Ron ended up monkeying all over at Hogwarts this Thanksgiving.
Actually, it was at the Phoenix Zoo, but it seemed like Hogwarts since the resident squirrel monkeys were being dealt with to a Harry Potter themed Thanksgiving feast. And the monkeys are named just after figures from the textbooks and motion pictures.
Yer a monkey, Harry!
Floating candles, a blue auto and a Hogwarts banner were being hung from the trees in the monkey village exhibit for the situation.
The yearly “Feast with the Beasts” is a prolonged-standing tradition at the Phoenix Zoo in which the monkeys are given a lavish Thanksgiving spread. Mainly because these certain monkeys have been named following Harry Potter characters, the topic was an quick preference.
And they ate like muggles.
“Company loved viewing the monkeys take in their foods throughout the day, and several Harry Potter lovers beloved looking at all the references to the books and flicks,” claimed Joaquin Hidalgo, the Phoenix Zoo’s marketing and advertising and communications coordinator.
In accordance to the zoo, the feast highlighted turkey and stuffing created with the monkeys’ formulated chow and biscuit food plan. Facet dishes incorporated corn, mashed potatoes built from pureed cauliflower, green beans, cereal and a blended environmentally friendly salad with apples, raisins, carrots, mealworms and sunflower seeds. For dessert, there was a Jello salad and pumpkin pies created from peanut butter, cereal and pumpkin puree.
Plastic champagne glasses had been crammed with juice, some of which appeared to be deliberately tipped about throughout the monkey business.
“We solemnly swear the squirrel monkeys are up to mischievous Thanksgiving shenanigans,” the zoo posted on social media, including a twist to the famed Harry Potter line.
