The Londonero shop on Oxford Street was selling a variety of drugs disguised as everyday desserts.
Investigators from Westminster Council found the American-style candy shop had been selling Magic Dragon cookies - which actually contained magic mushrooms.
There were three other boxes of cookies labelled Game Over.
When the raid took place on April 25, two shop assistants fled downstairs and escaped using a secret exit.
The secret passage was hidden behind a panel in the basement wall which took them back up to street level.
However, by moving the panel, they revealed a room which contained £80,000 worth of fake goods.
The director of the store, Ahmad Yar Jan, told a court that he was happy for the goods to be destroyed by the council.
The Harry Potter shop next door was also found to be selling unlicensed Hashish and White Widow CBD products.
An unnamed individual linked to the wizard-themed shop, ran by 5IVESTAR Limited, appeared in court alongside Yar Jan.
Many of the products which were seized had no English translation on the box, which sparked allergy fears since their contents was unknown.
Sneak peek inside new Oxford Street Ikea
After the arrests, Labour leader of Westminster City Council, Adam Hug, said: ''It is rather ironic that a shop calling itself a Harry Potter store appears to have been selling products that claim they would get the user higher than a quidditch player.
'The food products here were part of a raid at two addresses on Oxford Street which have taken thousands of items worth £80,000 off the streets.
'One of these 'magic cookies' products was labelled game over – however the only game over will be for unscrupulous traders who sell illegal goods to the public."
The news comes as Westminster Council has announced that reducing the huge number of sweets shops on Oxford Street is a priority.
Adam Hug added: 'We have known for a long time that US candy stores rip off customers, but charging £900 for two packets of sweets is a new low, even for the unscrupulous people who run these rackets.
'Our job is to protect people who visit the West End from being exploited and continuing raids and court appearances will ensure life is sour for the rogue US sweet shop trade.
'Hopefully, the fall in the number of US candy and souvenir shops means the tide is going out on this tatty trade.'

Drug dealer texted police accidentally
Jack Johannesen, 23, from Sandy, Bedfordshire, has been sentenced to two years and 10 months in prison for drug dealing and breaching bail conditions. He was caught after mistakenly sending a group text message advertising his new drug line to the phone of a police officer who had previously been involved in his arrest. Johannesen was part of an organised crime group operating across Biggleswade and Sandy, dealing in cannabis, crack cocaine, and heroin. Police initially arrested him in October, recovering multiple phones, including one he had smashed, which revealed he had contacted over 400 numbers for drug deals. Following his re-arrest in November due to the mistaken text, officers seized more cannabis, nearly £2,000 in cash, and high-value designer goods.

Farage defends protesters outside Essex asylum hotel as ‘concerned families'
Nigel Farage has defended people protesting outside an asylum hotel in Essex, claiming most were 'genuinely concerned families'. The Reform UK leader insisted violent scenes outside the hotel were caused by 'some bad eggs', alleging clashes were between the 'usual far-right thugs' and far-left anti-fascist activists, known as Antifa. Some of the demonstrators have been seen wearing black face coverings, similar to those often worn by members of Antifa, but it has not been verified whether the group has attended the protests. Mr Farage also claimed 'civil disobedience on a vast scale' will break out unless migrants stop arriving to the UK on small boats. Six people were arrested on Sunday evening after a string of protests outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, which is believed to house asylum seekers. Eight police officers were injured following clashes at what had started as a peaceful demonstration on Thursday evening, while the latest rally on Sunday saw more than 100 protesters assemble, with some chanting 'save our kids'. The events were organised in response to the arrest of an asylum seeker, who was later charged with sexual offences against a teenager and adult in the town, eight days after arriving to the UK via boat. Hadush Kebatu, 38, from Ethiopia, who denies the allegations and remains in custody, is charged with three counts of sexual assault, alongside inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity and harassment without violence. Mr Farage did not condone violence seen outside the hotel – however, he did say it should 'serve as a stark warning to this government that the British people will not put up with this betrayal for the next four years'. When asked whether the scenes were understandable, he told The Times: 'I don't think anybody in London even understands just how close we are to civil disobedience on a vast scale in this country. 'Of course, there were some bad eggs that turned up at Epping. There were the usual far-right thugs, but equally, what about Antifa? Why? Why are Antifa allowed to go to these demonstrations, to wear balaclavas, to not be identified, to do gestures, last night, of them shooting at members of the public. Why are they there? So it isn't all far-right thuggery, as you might sometimes hear from our prime minister. 'But do I understand how people in Epping feel? You bet your life I do.' He continued: 'Don't underestimate the simmering anger and disgust that there is in this country that we are letting in every week, in fact, some days, many hundreds of undocumented young males, many of whom come from cultures in which women and young girls are not even treated as second-class citizens. 'So the answer is, yes, I do understand the genuine upset and anger, and I'll bet you that most of the people outside that hotel at Epping weren't far-right or far-left or anything like that. They were just genuinely concerned families.' Hope Not Hate, an anti-fascism campaign group, said the series of gatherings outside the hotel began with largely peaceful intent, but were co-opted by actors intent on causing violence. Footage and photography from Thursday and Sunday's events show people with links to groups such as the British National Party (BNP), Britain First, Patriotic Alternative and neo-nazi group Blood & Honour were all in attendance. The Bell Hotel has regularly attracted anti-migrant protests organised by groups such as these since 2020, according to Hope Not Hate. Downing Street described the scenes at Epping as 'clearly unacceptable'. The prime minister's official spokesman said: 'Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy, but it's clearly unacceptable to see police coming under attack as they ensure that peaceful protest is able to take place. 'And I think Essex Police put out the statement making very clear: people who protest peacefully, lawfully and responsibly cause us and the wider public no concern. However, we can never and will never tolerate criminal violence, and I think the Prime Minister will obviously echo that.'

Katie Allan's mother, Linda, has been lobbying for change in the Scottish Prison Service since her daughter's approached McDougall, who is her local MP, at his first surgery after the general election last year to raise the issue and said he had been supportive ever Allan said: "We've always said justice for us would be the removal of Crown immunity.
