Claim 3: “Tim Hortons invites guests to celebrate Back to Hogwarts with Harry Potter™ inspired menu items, merch, limited-edition packaging and more - launching Aug. 12”
MISLEADING
While the Harry Potter collaboration and August 12 launch date are confirmed, the evidence indicates the campaign is primarily 'across Canada' (FNBX, Sporked), with only 'select parts of the United States' mentioned (Harry Potter Tim Hortons Menu & Merch Guide), making the claim that it is launching 'in the United States' (implying broadly) misleading.

Claim 4: “Tim Hortons restaurants in the United States are embracing the magic of Harry Potter starting Aug. 12 in celebration of Back to Hogwarts and the 25th anniversary of the beloved brand.”
MISLEADING
The evidence confirms the celebration of the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter and the August 12 launch date, but specifies that the event is taking place in 'Canada (and select parts of the United States)', whereas the claim states 'Tim Hortons restaurants in the United States' as the primary location.
