Since magic doesn't exist and science hasn't evolved to the point of hovering broomsticks and self-aware playing balls and snitches, this wonderful magical sports photo meme will have to do the trick. Following in the tradition of goofy photo memes like 'planking' and 'vadering,' the Quidditch photo meme is simply a magical good time that is being credited to a group of Japanese high school students. The magical sports shots are achieved by simply capturing mid-air shots of people with brooms between their legs as they jump into the air. The effect is incredibly convincing and will bring a smirk to the face of even the most hardened Harry Potter fans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Magic-inspired Photo Memes:** The trend of magic-inspired photo memes presents an opportunity for businesses to create engaging and whimsical content. - **Sporting Memes:** The rise of sporting memes, such as the Quidditch photo meme, opens up avenues for businesses to create viral marketing campaigns centered around popular sports. - **Youth-driven Social Media Trends:** As seen with the Quidditch photo meme originating from Japanese high school students, businesses can tap into youth-driven social media trends to reach a younger audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore the use of magic-inspired photo memes to promote movies, TV shows, or events. - **Sports:** Sports brands and organizations can capitalize on sporting memes like the Quidditch meme to increase engagement and reach a wider audience. - **Social Media Platforms:** Social media platforms can take advantage of youth-driven trends to enhance their platform's features and attract young users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magical Sports Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-quidditch-champions.md) - [Animated Sports Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-the-halls.md) - [Magic-Themed Card Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-harry-potter.md) - [Whimsical World-Inspired Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wizarding-world-cookbook.md) - [Next-Gen Wizard Broomstick Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimbus-2022-concept.md) - [Wizardly Sneaker Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-harry-potter.md) - [Wizard-Themed Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopolyharrypotteredition.md) - [Whimsical Magic-Themed Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ministry-of-magic.md) - [Science Fiction Sports Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spalding-x-stranger-things.md)
