"Excellent for chilled pumpkin juice, but not ideal for hot tea."
-- Book of Spells (BoS)
Golden goblets are used on the tables in the Great Hall at Hogwarts (PS7)
- Usually filled with pumpkin juice, more rarely, orange juice (PS7, CS5, PA5, GF12, GF15).
- Snape may have used one of these to bring Lupin his smoking Wolfsbane Potion (PA8)
- There were also goblets at Grimmauld Place made from "fifteenth-century goblin-wrought silver,
embossed with the Black family crest" (OP5). These were later stolen by Mundungus Fletcher (HBP12, DH10).
