- "A hopping cauldron! A faithful friend to any potioneer, at least until you try mixing fluxweed and Exploding Fluid in them. After that, they tend to be less cooperative."
- — Zygmunt Budge, Book of Potions[src]
A hopping cauldron was a type of sentient cauldron, so named because it had a single leg underneath the base of the cauldron allowing for locomotion. Hopping cauldrons had a certain degree of personality; while they were faithful to most potioneers, they would lose their faith if unpleasant concoctions were mixed in them.[1]
History[]
During his lifetime, Zygmunt Budge owned a hopping cauldron which he used in his potion experiments. It was faithful to him at first, though it became "less cooperative" after an attempt by Budge to mix fluxweed and Exploding Fluid in it. A hopping cauldron, perhaps Budge's own, was included in his masterwork Book of Potions.[1]
Beedle the Bard included a hopping cauldron, known as the Hopping Pot, in his story The Wizard and the Hopping Pot.[2]
