Harry Potter Basic Costumes

I will start with the Harry Potter character costume basics! Depending on your sorted house you may want to dress as either a Gryffindor student, Slytherin student, Hufflepuff student, or a Ravenclaw student.

For your basic Hogwarts student you will need:
 

• A long black cloak (preferably with a hood)

•  A striped tie corresponding with your specific house (ie.green for Slythrin,blue for Ravenclaw,  red for Griffendor, and yellow for Huffelpuff)

• Black slacks or a gray or black pleated skirt

• A house patch to out on your robes

 Use the main Hogwarts crest if you wish to wear a badge as a teacher (not as a student). Student receive house patches.

• A white collard button up shirt
• Gray Sweater vest (optional) 

As you can see both are acceptable for a authentic harry potter costume.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• A Wand
• Official (specific to a character)
• Unofficial (any wand)
• Home made (Carve your own out of a stick) 

These are the basic vital components of your Harry Potter costume.
