Become A Wizard With A Hot Harry Potter Halloween Costume

The latest installment of the Harry Potter franchise named the Half Blood Prince may have been released months ago but there is absolutely no stopping of the Harry Potter craze. In fact, kids and adults alike are avid fans of the said popular movie series which even includes me. Thus, it would be no wonder that Harry Potter Halloween costumes will be one of the most popular costumes sold at stores and many would swarm to have their hands on these in demand finds.

The wizard Halloween costumes especially those that can be found within the movie Harry Potter is very easy to portray and imitate. The ones we can think of already are from the probable replica of the heavy clothes of Professor Dumbledore, to the flowing wizard costume of Professor Severus down to the students of Hogwarts.

If you have plans this Halloween to be like any of them it would be wise to know some essentials as to what to wear and preferably what accessories to take as well. The first thing that we got to consider is to pick a specific wizard from the movie to portray. Then you can start from there. If you are still in your teens or perhaps you have a little kid, dressing up as a Hogwarts student is perfect. For those in their adult years, dressing up as the professors or Hogwarts seniors would do fine for your age and physique.

The common denominator of all Harry Potter Halloween costumes is the use robes that cover them. Students and professors wear these especially the black ones. The male students of Hogwarts insides are usually a white shirt with long sleeves and striped tie and black trousers. The girls both have the same style with their upper garments like the male students but wore flowing skirts below instead. In addition you can also choose to add gray or black stockings or long socks coupled with black shoes. Then you can put on your black robe then.

If you choose the dress of teachers then a robe is always a need. Like Dumbledore, you can dress in long robes, irregardless of color and texture. The most elegant suit is perhaps the best choice there is. Dumbledore has beautiful robe designs with rhinestones embedded in it. The rest of the teachers like Severus, McGonagall, Trelawney and the rest just have long straight black robe

Accessories can complete the set to compensate for a more wizard look. You can choose to have a magic wand. Another exciting enhancement is the broomstick like the Hogwarts students used during their game tournaments. You can also store along a witch hat. A Harry Potter Halloween costume would not be complete without the famous round glasses like Harry. To add a little spice, a well composed dark eyeliner and eye shadow would really complement the look special for the girls.

Dressing up for Halloween has never been this fun before especially if you would portray a popular movie like Harry Potter. Everyone can be like one of the characters in the movie without any exception. Thus, dare you dress up and enter the magical world with a exciting Harry Potter Halloween costume?

Harry Potter Costumes – Create Your Own Hogwarts Wizard!

Black robes; a wand; messy black hair; black, round glasses; and a lightning bolt shaped scar on the forehead. Red and gold robes; a broomstick; a tiny golden ball with wings; messy black hair; black, round glasses; and a lightning bolt shaped scar on the forehead.

These are the two of the popular Harry Potter costumes come Halloween ever since the first Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, came out in 2001. Harry Potter’s own brand of wizard has been widely adopted by kids and adults alike and has become a staple outfit when the calendar hits October 31st. One could see a dozen Harrys in their Hogwarts robes or in their Gryffindor Quidditch gear walking down the streets.

From the simple black school robes, costumes have evolved to depict the other well-loved characters from the movies. The tremendous popularity of the Harry Potter movies has made close to a million fans to want to dress up as their favorite characters. With all these characters wandering the streets, it might be possible to create an impromptu Harry Potter movie right in your neighborhood.

Buying Harry Potter costumes from costume shops can be expensive, however. Here are tips on how to dress like a witch and wizard and create your own Harry Potter costumes.

Harry Potter in School Robes – Find a black graduation gown and put on a Gryffindor patch. If you know how to embroider, there are a lot of patterns for the Gryffindor House patch available from different web sites. If not, silkscreened patches will do. For your inner wear, pair up black slacks with a white long-sleeve polo and a red-and-gold striped tie. Put on a black cardigan. Finish your look with a pair of black, round glasses and draw a lightning bolt scar on your forehead. Don’t forget your wand.
Harry Potter in Quidditch Robes – Instead of a black robe, find a scarlet one and put on a Gryffindor patch. For your inner wear, put on a pair of khaki slacks and a red knitted sweater. If you can find knee and elbow pads, all the better. Don’t forget your broomstick and the trademark round glasses and lightning scar. To make your Golden Snitch, paint a small Styrofoam ball gold and attach some wings made out of yellow pipe cleaners.
Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger – Making

a Ron Weasley costume is the same as Harry Potter in school robes, only that Ron has bright red hair and lots of freckles, which may require a wig and an orange marker. Hermione Granger’s school robes are also similar to Harry’s and Ron’s. For her inner wear, find a pleated black skirt and pair it with a long-sleeve button down polo, red and gold striped tie, and black, knee-high socks. Complete the Hermione look with bushy hair and books.
Hogwarts Student – If you don’t want to be Harry, Ron, or Hermione and be just a regular Hogwarts student, simply replace your colors of your patches and ties. Gryffindor students wear red and gold ties, Slytherins wear green and silver, Ravenclaws wear blue and bronze, and Hufflepuffs wear yellow and black. You can find the different patterns for the different House crest patches from various Harry Potter fan sites.
