The Hopping Pot is a pot, specifically a hopping cauldron, that was owned by a wizard and his son. It was originally used to brew potions and antidotes for Muggles when they needed the wizard's father's help. However when he died, it was passed onto to the anti-Muggle son, in hope that it would teach him a lesson by giving him a taste of the Muggles' misery. In the end, the pot finally made the son's conscience awaken, and the son agreed to use his magic to help his Muggle neighbours.
