How to Make Harry Potter Costume
If you are a big fan of Harry Potter, chances are that you have dreamed about dressing up as him for Halloween. You can make your dream come true by making your own costume and becoming the star of every party that you go to. The following article gives you some tips on how to make a Harry Potter costume.
Every year, kids from all over the world dress up as their favorite book and movie characters. In this post, I will show you how to make Harry Potter costume for kids.
First of all, there are many different Harry Potter costumes that you can choose from. In fact, there are many different characters in the books and movies from which you can choose your character. For example, you can choose between Hermione Granger, Professor Dumbledore or even an evil character such as Voldemort or Snape.
The most obvious choice is to choose a costume for one of the main characters in the series. The most popular choices are Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter costumes. However, if you don’t want to spend too much money on your kids’ costumes, you can also go with other secondary characters like Hagrid or Professor McGonagall or even one of the Weasley twins (Fred & George).
Another option would be to go with a costume that’s not related to any of the main characters but rather something related to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry itself like a Hogwarts robe, wand or even a Golden Snitch!
