"I've spent the last five years cultivating luminous pumpkins, flying pumpkins, singing pumpkins and exploding pumpkins.... This is my livelihood, I’m not going down without a fight."

— Owner Dagbert Pips to the Daily Prophet, regarding Ministry Hallowe'en restrictions^[src]

Pumpkins R Us was a wizarding shop that specialised in pumpkins, in particular magical pumpkins that were sold at Hallowe'en time. Its owner, Dagbert Pips, wrote a letter to the Daily Prophet complaining about Ministry-imposed restrictions on Hallowe'en celebrations in 1992.^[1]

Magical pumpkins cultivated by Pips included luminous pumpkins, flying pumpkins, singing pumpkins and exploding pumpkins.^[1]

Behind the scenes

The name of the shop is most likely a parody of Toys R' Us, an American toy company.
