About
Avidi Kadivi or Avada Kedavra Small Wand Trend refers to a viral video where a man pulls a tiny icicle off of a car and flourishes it like a wand, saying, "avidi kadivi" in a small voice as he does, a reference to Harry Potter's "killing curse" "avada kedavra." The video, uploaded to TIkTok in March 2022, inspired a trend that month where users brandish similarly small wand-like objects over the sound.
