Fresh Air Refreshes Totally (F.A.R.T.) was a fringe movement of wizards who preferred to wear robes at all times in public, even when in the vicinity of Muggles, because they believed that trousers "stem[med] the magical flow at source" and that a having a "healthy breeze" around one's "privates" was desirable.[1][2] The movement's president was Archie Aymslowe.[1]
Members of the F.A.R.T. movement were repeatedly warned and fined for violating the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.[1] The Statute laid out a code of dress that wizards and witches were supposed to follow when interacting with Muggles.[1]
Muggles who encountered members of the F.A.R.T. movement apparently assumed they belonged to a cult.[1]
Behind the scenes
- It is possible that Vernon Dursley noticed and interacted with some of these members right after the fall of the Dark Lord on his way to work[3].
