[nelson17]

You are jelly belly

[dad90]

Is that acceptable, Judge?

(DK looks at the Judge...)

(...who shakes his head no)

(Buzzer)

I had an awful feeling that you wouldn't...

Nels, while you are right that these are Jelly Belly beans, the keywords were "Harry Potter", and if you have paid attention to the series, these Every Flavour Beans were actually created by Bertie Bott.

Yes, during years of his life, Bott dedicated himself to confectionary and sweets production. One day, in the mid-twentieth century, Bott made a mistake that would make him famous: while trying to create tasty sweets from food, a pair of dirty socks were accidentally included in the experiment. Recognizing the sales potential of sweets that presented "a risk with every mouthful", Bott started commercializing them under the name Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. For the invention of these famous sweets, Bott is featured on a Chocolate Frog Card.

And Nels, for getting that wrong, that means that you have just given $50 to William!
