'''Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop''' was a small tea shop located on a side road off the [[High Street (Hogsmeade)|High Street]] at [[Hogsmeade]]. It was owned by [[Puddifoot|Madam Puddifoot]]. The decoration was very tacky and frilly. The windows steamed up and the gaudy tables and chairs were all claimed by teenagers holding hands or kissing over cups of [[tea]] and [[coffee]]. A bell over the door announced customers in a tuneful tinkle; the round tables were decorated with lacy napkins and china sugar bowls, and cramped up the small shop to the point that Madam Puddifoot has great difficulty in moving in between tables to serve the couples.

Cho Chang: "Um… d'you want to get a coffee?"
Harry Potter: "Yeah, all right. Where?"
Cho Chang: "Oh, there's a really nice place just up here; haven't you ever been to Madam Puddifoot's?"
Cho Chang takes Harry Potter to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop.[src]

Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop was a small tea shop located on a side road off the High Street at Hogsmeade. It was owned by Madam Puddifoot. The decoration was very tacky and frilly. The windows steamed up and the gaudy tables and chairs were all claimed by teenagers holding hands or kissing over cups of tea and coffee. A bell over the door announced customers in a tuneful tinkle; the round tables were decorated with lacy napkins and china sugar bowls, and cramped up the small shop to the point that Madam Puddifoot has great difficulty in moving in between tables to serve the couples. While Cho Chang thought the place was nice and cute, Harry Potter was not fond of the appearance nor atmosphere, as it reminded him uncomfortably of Dolores Umbridge's office, and the sight of couples being so intimiate with each other made him feel even more uncomfortable.[1]

On Valentine's Day, the tearoom was decorated with golden cherubs hovering over each of the tables, which occasionally threw pink confetti over the people sitting below them. This, however, was more of an irritation than romantic, as the confetti would occasionally land in the beverages.[1]

History

MadamPuddifoot's Inside

The tearoom.

Sometime between 1956 and the 1980s, this was where Elphinstone Urquart first proposed to Minerva McGonagall while he was holidaying in Scotland. McGonagall, surprised and embarrassed, turned him down as she still had feelings for Dougal McGregor.[2]

Sometime in 1995, Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang came to Madam Puddifoot's on a date.[1]

Harry: "Look, let's not talk about Cedric right now...let's talk about something else."
Cho: "I thought, I thought you'd u-u-understand! I need to talk about it! Surely you n-need to talk about it too! I mean, you saw it happen, d-didn't you?"
Harry: "Well - I have talked about it, to Ron and Hermione, but -"
Cho: "Oh, you'll talk to Hermione Granger! But you won't talk to me! P-perhaps it would be best if we just...just p-paid and you went and met up with Hermione G-Granger, like you obviously want to!"
— Harry and Cho's argument inside the teashop.[src]

Harry and Cho inside Madam Puddifoot's

On Valentine's Day in 1996, Harry Potter and Cho Chang had a cup of coffee here, and sat by Roger Davies and his girlfriend. Their date, however, turned out nightmarishly wrong; Harry already felt highly uncomfortable the moment he set eyes on the café's insides, as the decors remind him of Umbridge's office and the intimate couples all around them made it even more awkward, it only got worse when Cho started talking about Cedric, which made her cry, and when Harry mentioned (in a way that led to misunderstandings) Hermione Granger she became jealous and left dramatically, to the astonishment of the whole tearoom who stopped to watch them. Harry swiftly paid for the coffee and chased after her, but she already disappeared from the street.[1] The experience left Harry a negative impression on the place, as he referred it as a "stupid teashop" when reliving this disaster with Hermione.[3]

"Er... well, it was... a complete fiasco, now you mention it."
— Harry Potter summing up his date with Cho Chang.[src]

When Harry, Ron and Hermione did not meet Ginny Weasley during one of their Hogsmeade weekend trips, Harry wondered if she was "cosily closeted" at Madam Puddifoot's (which he thought of as the haunt of happy couples, presumably due to his disastrous date there with Cho) with Dean Thomas.[4]

Behind the scenes

PuddifootsLEGO

Madam Puddifoot's in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7.

  • It is plausible that the ridiculously frilly decorations and napkins, and the foggy windows, were merely additional decorations for Valentine's Day and that the teashop usually was not so frilly. Though, considering the overly intimate atmosphere, it is also possible that only the cherubs are the Valentine's Day exception.
  • A Madam Puddifoot's storefront was added to Hogsmeade at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, as a result of the Diagon Alley expansion. The storefront used to house Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, which was moved to Diagon Alley.[5]
