Great Harry Potter Costumes  

By Emily Vanzant

Harry Potter is one of the most poplar book and movie series for young adults. Really though, it's enjoyed by kids and adults of all ages. This Halloween you can pretend you are the one who defeated You-Know-Who, or you can be one of Harry's loyal friends. If you really want to, you can even be one of the bad guys.

The Harry Potter Premium Gryffindor Robe Child Costume is the perfect starting point to create any Gryffindor character. This black velvet cloak is lined with maroon satin and features a Gryffindor crest on the front. Now, all you have to do is add accessories to become the specific character you like most. Don't worry, there is a basic robe available for adults too! The Harry Potter Deluxe Glasses will help you look like Harry, as will the signature lightening-bolt shaped scar. Not a great artist? No problem. The Harry Potter Scar and Make-up kit will help you create the perfect-looking scar. For Hermione and Ron, it's all about the hair. Make Hermione's as poofy as possible. Ron's simply has to be red; you can give red hairspray a try.

Perhaps you'd rather show off your Quidditch robes? No problem. With the Harry Potter Quidditch Robe Super Deluxe Child Costume, you can be the seeker, chaser, beater or keeper you've always wanted to be. The crimson robe has yellow stripes down the side and the Gryffindor logo. Now all you need is a broom and Quidditch Goggles. The Firebolt is a favorite, known for its speed and agility. It looks just like what you've seen in the movies! Now, especially if you decide to be the seeker, don't forget the Golden Snitch. Just try not to swallow it-please.

If you'd rather be the one cursing Harry while he is trying to win the match, a Death Eater, Dementor, or Voldemort costume might be a good choice for you. The Harry Potter Dementor Costume for kids is super creepy. It comes with a long robe, black mask, and ribcage chest piece. Luckily, there are separate Dementor costumes for grown men and women. The women's costume comes with a long black dress, thick black belt, and eerie mask. Who knew evil could look so sexy?

Now, whether good or evil, you have to have a wand. Little kids will enjoy the Harry Potter Light Up Wand, while older wizards can try the sleeker Harry Potter Wand. Ron's scruffy beat-up wand is also available, as is Hermione's elegant wand with ivy-shaped accents. If you want to be anyone else just use Malfoy's wand. No one will ever know the difference. Now, watch out for trolls in the dungeon!
