“What did you expect? …Pumpkin juice!?”

—Madam Pomfrey after Harry Potter spat out the Skele-Gro.

What is pumpkin juice?

“Pumpkin juice is a beverage made from pumpkins. Manufactured since 1837 by London Pumpkins & Sons, it is extremely popular in the wizarding world, particularly among the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is drunk at any occasion, such as breakfast, lunch, at feasts or on other occasions. It seems to have taken on the same role that orange juice has in the Muggle world. Pumpkin juice is readily available, and can be purchased on the Hogwarts Express”*.
