The avid fans are increasing every year and both adults and kids alike have started to read the books and turn up at the movies to watch this extraordinary story. With that said, it’s no wonder that Harry Potter Costumes are very high in demand for this and every Halloween.

The beautiful thing about Harry Potter is that the costumes used in the film is very easy to imitate.

In order to become a citizen of Hogwarts at Halloween, it would certainly be wise to know some clothing and accessory essentials. The first thing you need to decide on is which specific character you’ll choose to portray. As adult you might consider the teachers or Hogwarts seniors and if you’re a teen you should definitively suit as Harry himself or one of the Hogwarts students.

The thing that’s common with all Harry Potter Costumes is the use of a fine robe. Student and teachers especially prefer the black colored ones. The male students of Hogwarts is often seen in the usual uniform of a tunic long sleeve, white striped tie and black trousers. The girls have the same style in their tops but with flowing skirts below. In addition there’s also the black or gray longs socks with black shoes and lastly the fine black robe on top.

When choosing to dress like a Hogwarts teacher or Professor, the robe is a must. As Professor Dumbledore, you could wear a long robe irregardless of color. However, Dombledore’s robe often has a beautiful design, knitting with fancy stones incorporated in it. For the rest of the Hogwarts teachers, like McGonagall, Severus, Trelawney, the use of a long plain flowing black robe works just fine.

To get the authentic wizard look, accessories will help a lot, like for example having a magic wand in your hands. Another excellent supplement is the broomsticks that the Hogwarts students use in the Quidditch tournaments. You can also choose to wear a fancy witch hat. If you have decided to become the one and only Harry Potter, a pair of round glasses would certainly do the trick. For girls, you could spice up the look with a well composed dark eyeliner and eye shadow to complement the dress.
