The latest major fandom
TikTok creator @soupytime, who has approximately 2.3 million followers on the app, kicked off a trend.
The trend itself is driven by its audio, which @soupytime said in a comment that she made herself, encouraging others to use it as well. Backed by an uptempo jazz track, the sound features sound bites from many of Harry Potter's main characters, including Harry, Ron, and Hermione as well as Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Ginny, Fred, and George Weasley.
In the video, @soupytime changes outfits and lip-syncs along to the character's lines.
