Have you ever looked out the window, hoping to see a snowy white owl holding a envelope announcing
your acceptance into Hogwarts?
your acceptance into Hogwarts?
My love for Harry Potter goes back to when I was eleven and picked up the first book. Immediately I was engulfed in the world of witchcraft and wizardry, I constantly was looking out the window hoping that an owl would show up with my very own Hogwarts acceptance letter. Needless to say, with the release of the last and final movie, fans everywhere were ready to dress up and go all out! Well at least I was. These costumes would be great for Halloween this year!
If you have a flair for the dramatic, and love a little craziness in your life then perhaps you are a Bellatrix. This costume can be done so many ways and can wow the crowd.
What you need:
- v Black, black and more black
- v Long black skirt
- v Lace or fish net shirt
- v Corset or vest
- v Crazy wild hair
- v Wand
- v Dark mark
The key to this costume is your attitude. Walk around like you are the world’s best death eater and people will crumble before your feet.
Maybe you are not the crazy type but like to take control, and love the color pink, in this case Professor Dolores Umbridge is who you want to be.
What you need:
What you need:
- Pink suit--preferably tweed. You can find one at your local thrift store. You will be surprised how many pink suits exist. I sure was!
- A broach--steal one from your grandma if you don’t have one!
- Cat collar ( this was easy to make- we took a sleeve of an old pink sweater and filled it will batting, added some ears and eyes and voila! Insta-cat)
- Wand- once again twigs are great
- Locket necklace- Once again ask your grandma if she has one you can use!
- Sickly sweet smirk and a hatred for young wizards
What you need:
- v The Hogwarts Uniform- Black or Grey Skirt, White shirt, Grey/blue sweater, Blue and silver tie
- v Go the extra mile and wear a Black cloak or scarf
- v Radish earing – you can make them out of fun foam clay or buy a pair from etsy
- v Butterbeer Cork necklace- This is a piece of cake to make: take a cork drill a hole through it
- v Spectrespecs- I found this great tutorial here
- v Missmatched shoes
- v Fun loving quirky personality
Tune in next movie monday for a cast of Harry Potter costumes just for boys!
