If you’re a fan of the Harry Potter series, this magical spectacle will definitely have you raving. An influencer named Zulhimi Weng uploaded a TikTok clip showing him on a flying fox ride.

However, there is something noticeably different in the video, as many viewers pointed out. Instead of a regular getup, he was clad in a Harry Potter outfit complete with a broomstick too!

Speaking to Wau Post, Zulhilmi says that he as been a longtime Potterhead. “I’ve always imagined how it feels like to be Harry Potter flying on his Nimbus (broom). So, instead of just wearing the outfit, I decided to take it to the flying fox,” he explained.

Zulhilmi went on to arrange the setup with the flying fox organizer, and they carried out a test run before filming the actual attempt. Passersby who were on a bridge also caught the flying ‘wizard’ on camera, with many recognizing him right away. A separate video one of the spectators recorded was also uploaded on Zulhilmi’s page. “Woah, that’s Harry Potter!” they can be heard exclaiming as he zips past.
