Harry Potter is a great film. If you have never seen it before then you should go to the nearest video store and rent it right now. If you are looking for a great Harry Potter costume, then you have come to the right place.
This article will show you how to create a Harry Potter costume using your wardrobe and arts and crafts.
You will need:
* Glasses
* Some sort of robe or oversized shirt
* A wand
* A scar (optional)
* A scarf (optional)
So first off, if you don’t already own some glasses, go out and buy them. You can use either fake glasses that just sit on your nose or actual prescription glasses. They should be large round glasses like the ones pictured on this page. You can also get away with wearing sunglasses instead of ordinary glasses, as long as they are big enough and round enough.
Next, find an oversized shirt or robe that is two to three sizes larger than what you normally wear. The sleeves should be too long so they fall over your hands when your arms are at your sides. The shirt should be black or dark blue in color.”You can also make a Hogwarts scarf by buying a few yards of red wool fabric at any craft store.”
Whether you’re planning to attend a Harry Potter Costume Party or just want to pay tribute to your favorite character, making a costume can be as simple or complicated as you want.

How to Make a Harry Potter Costume
Harry Potter is one of the most famous wizards in the world. He has been featured in over six movies and is an icon to many kids and adults alike. If you want to make your own Harry Potter costume at home, here are some things that you will need:
1) A pair of round glasses (If you don’t have a pair, there are plenty of pairs that can be bought at the dollar store or can be found around the house.)
2) A black cape (or even a large black piece of fabric)
3) A wand
4) A striped scarf (preferably red and yellow as pictured below)
5) Black pants/trousers
6) Black shoes
7) White shirt/blouse/top
The Harry Potter series of books is possibly one of the most popular series in recent memory. There have been movies and merchandise galore, but one of the best places to start is with a costume. The Harry Potter costume itself is quite simple to create if you have some basic craft materials on hand.
The first thing you will need to do when you are creating your Harry Potter costume is find a pair of round glasses. The perfect place to look is at your local dollar store where you can pick up a child’s pair of plastic glasses for only a few dollars. If you don’t have much money, or want to use them for everyday use, consider using the clip-on type that attach to your normal eyeglasses. You’ll still be able to see out of them and they’ll be much more comfortable than wearing two sets of glasses on your face.
The next item you will need for your Harry Potter costume is a wand. There are many options here as well. You can either purchase a premade Harry Potter wand from any toy store, or you can make one yourself at home with some basic craft supplies.
Dress up in your Harry Potter costume and enjoy the party or your trick-or-treating!

Instructions
Things You’ll Need:
1. Harry Potter costume (see Step 2)
2. Harry Potter props (see Step 3)
Step 1: Understand the Storyline of Harry Potter
Harry Potter is a boy who lives with his aunt and uncle, and finds out on his 11th birthday that he is actually a wizard. After going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he learns about the dark forces in the world, and has to deal with them.
Step 2: Choose Your Costume
The books that Harry Potter is based on have been made into movies, which makes it very easy for you to choose your own costume. There are many different options for costumes, but there are also some things you should keep in mind: Make sure that you get a costume that fits if you’re buying one from a store. If you’re making your own costume, don’t wear anything too long to avoid tripping over it. Also, if it’s Halloween night, wear something under your costume so that it isn’t too cold or windy outside.
Costume ideas include: Harry Potter Hermione Granger Ron Weasley Professor Snape
Most of the people who want to know how to make a Harry Potter costume are probably doing so for Halloween, or for a convention. Halloween is fun and conventions are fun, and by all means, go ahead and do it. But if you’re going to spend the time and money making a costume anyway, why not make it useful?
If you occasionally dress up as a wizard for no reason other than that you want to do so, you will gradually become more comfortable with being a wizard. You’ll get used to the idea that this is something you can just do whenever you feel like it, without having an excuse. And if you’re used to wearing your wizard costume while walking down the street, it won’t seem weird when someone asks you to wear it while they take your picture.
In fact at some point you may find yourself thinking “if only I had my costumes here.” You’ll be in New York City or Los Angeles or San Francisco, somewhere with lots of interesting people. And even though none of them has asked you to dress up as a wizard yet, you know that at any moment someone might. And if they did, wouldn’t it be great to have a costume?
