- "In the small vegetable patch behind Hagrid's house were a dozen of the largest pumpkins Harry had ever seen. Each was the size of a large boulder."
- — Description.[src]
A pumpkin is a gourd-like squash that grows on vines. It is cultivated for its large pulpy round orange fruit with firm orange skin and numerous seeds.
There is a vegetable patch by Hagrid's hut that included over a dozen very large pumpkins. In Harry Potter's third year, he, Hermione and Ron hide behind some pumpkins in order to not be seen by Professor Dumbledore, Cornelius Fudge and the Executioner. Later that same night, Harry and Hermione went back to the pumpkin patch to rescue Buckbeak.
