The wizard is the main character in Beedle the Bard 's tale The Wizard and the Hopping Pot. He, unlike his father, felt those without magic were worthless. Upon his death, his father left the Wizard his "lucky one-legged cooking pot" with a slipper inside, instead of the gold he had been expecting. The son was very angry at this and decided to use it as a rubbish bin. As his father, a compassionate wizard, helped out the Muggles by using his "magic pot" to cure people's diseases, the villagers turned to his son for the same services. However, the son turned out to be a cold-hearted man who turned away anybody who sought his help. As such, the pot began sprouting manifestations of the forms of untreated diseases that villagers were suffering from. The pot also began to continously hop on its foot, resulting in an endless clamour. The son finally gave up in the end and ran through the town, crying out to the villagers to come see him to remedy their ailments. As he used his magic to heal them, the horrific manifestations on the pot begun to disappear. Finally, the pot was back to its former appearance and the son could slip the slipper onto the pot's foot. Once that was done, he and the pot walked away from the village to go and help other people.
