Putting Together Your Harry Potter Costume

Year after year, Harry Potter costumes continue to become more and more popular, especially during the Halloween season.  A reasonable explanation for this would be due to its successful reign in the box office and on the book shelf.  British author J.K. Rowling has made a tremendous impact to avid Potter fans, which contributed greatly to the launch of the widely admired feature films. 

Sometimes choosing the perfect outfit can become difficult, nonetheless, online costume superstores, like Buy Costumes, have drastically simplified the process.  Many people are looking to find the hottest costume this Halloween, and if you’re planning to dress up as Harry Potter, here are a few simple items to note down:

Glasses:  No Harry P. outfit is complete without the token round glasses.  This is a must have if you want to be recognized as this well sought after wizard.

Robe:  Whether you choose a black or red or purple, this is an essential piece to an effective wizard costume.  Keep in mind, there are also other options to choose from if you’re simply looking to dress as a boy wizard, however, the robe will give you that added flair!

Tie:   A Gryffindor tie could help bring your character to life.  Give it a shot, and make sure you have the right color tie to match the robe.

Wand: Most wizards need their wand to cast spells, so there’s no reason for you to forget this important accessory.

Scarf/Hat:  This could actually become quite convenient if it happens to be a chilly Halloween.  With the right colors in mind, perhaps yellow, red, or mauve, a scarf and hat are wonderful accents to your overall costume.

Dementor Costumes

If you’re looking to scare your friends and family this Halloween, the dementor costume is a perfect choice! Your first sight of these demonic creatures may have been in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, where they protected the wizard prison.

Because these costumes are covered in black from head to toe in a long black hooded robe and a scary black mask, it’s easy to see just how creepy the Dementor costume truly is. For added spice, it’s ideal to get your hands on a pair of Dementor gloves, and keep in mind to make subtle sounds that keep your surroundings in constant lookout!  A great disguise for children including both boys and girls and also for teen and adults!

Dementor Child Costume Dementor Hands Dementor Adult Costume

Dementors have no eyes but have a distinctly looking circular mouth that you won’t forget! Their decaying grey hands also create a daunting image for most people. Their ability to fly is a unique quality they possess along with their intense senses, which they rely heavily on, especially because they are blind creatures. When in the presence of a Dementor, you, just like Harry experienced, will be forced to relive your absolute worst memory.

This is truly one of the scariest costumes you’ll come across this Halloween, so make sure to make an impact this year and get your Dementor costume at buy costumes online superstore!

Hagrid Costume

Get Your Hagrid Costume and be the Keeper of Hogwarts School!

Rubeus Hagrid

Hagrid is one of Dumbledore’s closest friends.  Hagrid has the ability to avoid many spells due to his stature.  Extremely large and powerful, he stands twelve feet tall and is the Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Despite Hagrid’s intimidating appearance, he is a very sensitive and is a friend of most Harry Potter characters.  His costume can easily be made and you can find out how below…

Harry Potter Hagrid Harry Potter Hagrid

How to Make a Hagrid Costume:

  • Hagrid’s main distinguishing features are by far his bushy beard and long hair.  You can find a mask and wig to begin bringing your character to life.
  • Work boots and groundskeeper work clothes will do just fine.  Hagrid’s coat is large with several pockets where he’s able to carry a mixture of objects.  Remember Hagrid is a large guy, so make sure to stuff your oversized clothing with pillows.
  • Remember that Hagrid owns a dragon and a boar hound so it only makes sense for you to carry a magical creature with you.
  • A pink umbrella used as a wand could also be incorporated into this gentle giant’s costume. After being expelled from using his magic, Hagrid’s wand was broken into pieces and the only way he could continue practicing his magic was by hiding his wand pieces inside a pink umbrella.

Rubeus Hagrid Background

Rubeus Hagrid is a gentle giant not only due to his large physical stature, where he stands approximately 12 feet, but also because of his caring nature.  He is Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwart’s School.  He is normally seen wearing a large coat containing many pockets where he can hold several things.  Known as an animal or creature lover, Rubeus Hagrid enjoys taking care of mostly dangerous creatures, some that would be extremely difficult to tame.  Fortunately for him, this giant’s size helps him to control these larger creatures.

His parents are also unique, in that Hagrid’s mother is a giant and his father a wizard, making him a half-giant.   His shaggy long black hair works well with his dark oversized long beard covering most of his face.

After being accused for breaking into the Chamber of Secrets, Hagrid was no longer given the privilege of practicing his magic and his wand was broken in half.  Fortunately for Hagrid, he continued to practice he magic after fixing his wand by secretly keeping it inside a pink umbrella, which he often carries around with him.
