For those who love pumpkin juice at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort, but miss those adorable pumpkin-topped pumpkin juice bottles, a better replacement may have just been introduced — a pumpkin juice bottle souvenir sipper! We found this very close facsimile for sale at the Universal Studios Store in Universal Studios Hollywood.
Pumpkin Juice Bottle Souvenir Sipper – $15.00 (First fill free/Additional refills: $4.49)
Although a little wider than the bottle, this pumpkin juice sipper has all the hallmarks of the original bottle. The lid is the signature pumpkin that was originally the cover for the bottle cap. The main section of the bottle is dark brown, and a wicker-like design is found on the base.
The labels on this pumpkin sipper are near copies of the original bottle labels, with a small “Pumpkin Juice” label on the neck of the bottle and a large label on the front.
The sippers are displayed without a straw, but a plastic one will be included at the register during the time of purchase.
Refills are available for $4.29, which saves around $0.46 including tax in perpetuity. Unlike most sippers or popcorn buckets, the refill price is available in perpetuity after purchase, which can lead to some nice savings over time if you’re a big pumpkin juice drinker. Just show your sipper at The Three Broomsticks for your refill.
In 2020, we reported that bottled pumpkin juice was no longer available for sale over in Orlando and Japan. The reason for this was unclear, but it was speculated that there may have been production issues or that the company that manufactured the bottles had gone out of business. This meant that pumpkin juice could no longer be purchased in its traditional bottled form, although it was still available on tap. This caused some disappointment among fans of the drink, who were used to enjoying it in its bottled form.
Pumpkin juice is still available for purchase in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood, but it can now only be found on tap. The drink is not available at Universal Studios Beijing, and has remained missing from Universal Studios Japan since October 2020. The addition of the pumpkin juice bottle souvenir sipper should be a welcome offering to fans.
For those muggles not familiar with pumpkin juice — it’s a popular drink in the Wizarding World, particularly among the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was featured in every Harry Potter film. According to the story, Pumpkin Juice was manufactured by London Pumpkins & Sons. It was also available on the Hogwarts Express and was drunk on any occasion, such as for breakfast, lunch, feasts, and other special events.
