Pottering, also known as 'Broomsticking,' is a photo fad that involves people jumping into the air with a broom between their legs to create the illusion of flying like characters from the Harry Potter series. The trend gained significant traction in early 2013, largely as a response to other viral photo fads like Planking and Vadering. It is believed to have originated among Australian students before spreading rapidly across Tumblr and Instagram. The beauty of the Pottering meme lies in its simplicity and the humorous, low-budget recreation of iconic cinematic moments. Users often choose mundane backgrounds, such as kitchens or parks, to emphasize the absurdity of a wizard performing everyday tasks while mid-flight.
