Have you ever looked out the window, hoping to see a snowy white owl holding a envelope announcing 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 worldโs 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: 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 donโt 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 If you arenโt feeling evil this Halloween you could be the nicest wizard around. Luna Lovegood. Everyone loves her quirkiness and you will have the most adored costume for sure. 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 โ 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!
In a series that features as significant a villain as Lord Voldemort, it leaves little room for other antagonists to leave a real lasting impact outside of his regime; look at Quirrell or Barty Croโฆ
