The Five Best Harry Potter Costumes
Who hasn’t been spell-bound by the tales of Harry Potter and his life at Hogwarts School? The first book was published in 1997 and Harry Potter’s popularity with children and adults has been increasing ever since. Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone and the subsequent six books and associated movies have given us a world full of astonishing characters, a magical world of witchcraft and wizardry, plus a whole new game – quidditch.
The whole theme of Harry Potter and Hogwarts is ideally suited to Halloween. It provides us with many costumes to choose from. I’m going to provide you with a list of what I consider to be the five best Harry Potter Costumes available to cast spells over others or scare them this Halloween.
1. Dementors. This has to be one of the scariest costumes around as befits these foul soul-sucking creatures that guard the wizard prison of Azkaban. These creatures have a human shape, are at least ten feet tall and wear dark, hooded cloaks that reveal their horrible grey and decayed hands. They don’t have any eyes and have a hole in place of their mouth. They feed on other people’s positive emotions and happy memories and force them to relive their worst memories as well as sucking out a person’s soul. These are nasty and frightening creatures so are great to dress up for Halloween.
2. Voldemort. Lord Voldemort is the arch-enemy of Harry Potter. He is the most vile and feared wizard. He totally lacks normal human emotions and responses and has no desire for friendship or love. His desire to secure immense power and immortality makes his extremely powerful and ruthless. Apparently he was once very handsome but his vile character has turned him into a monster. Now he has red eyes, no nose and a slit where his nostrils should be. He has no hair ahd his teeth are yellow. His fingernails are long and blue and he is thin and tall. He wears a long dark black robe and carries a wand that has a handle which appears to be made of bone.
3. Death Eaters. The Death Eaters are a small group of witches and wizards who are followers of Voldemort, committing many evil crimes. They have a dark mark on their left forearms, a sign given to them by Voldemort and by which they recognize each other. Their attire is black robes with hoods and masks. In the movie Goblet of Fire they wore skull masks and pointed hats. However, in the Order of the Phoenix movie they wore metal masks and purple robes.
4. Harry Potter’s Gryffindor Robe. This is the robe worn by the members of Gryffindor House such as Harry, Ron and Hermione. It’s a long black robe with attached hood. The lining of the robe is burgundy. The Gryffindor crest on the front is of a lion rampant in scarlet and gold which symbolizes the characteristics of the house – courage, bravery, daring and chivalry.
5. The Quidditch Robe This is the robe worn by the players of Quidditch, a fictional sport created by J K Rowling. It’s a fast, exciting and dangerous games with two teams flying on broomsticks competing for points scored by throwing a ball, the Quaffle, through hoops and trying to capture the golden snitch. The Quidditch robe is crimson with a yellow lining. It’s ankle length.
I hope you like my personal choice of the best Harry Potter costumes.
