“Potter” Halloween Costumes Inspiration

by Lizzie Sudlow · September 30, 2016

With October on the brink, it’s time to start thinking about Halloween costumes, and here at MuggleNet, we want to offer some ideas.

Maybe you want to dress up as Hermione but prove to everyone you read the books. If so, Haley’s costume is for you.

Or perhaps you’re looking to do something more animal-geared. How about a human Hedwig? Get some inspiration from Daisy.

Maybe you want to channel your inner Death Eater? Take it one step further with Megan’s “Hot Mess Bellatrix.”

How about the general and classic Hogwarts attire? Look no further than Alison’s costume.

And then there are the new costumes to be explored based off of Cursed Child. Two staff members are hard at work on their inspired outfits: one of Delphi and one of Albus Potter, but made for females.

For Delphi, Ameythist is wearing black jeggings, dark gray boots that lace up to the knee, a black shirt, and a gray military style jacket. This all gets topped off with a winged tattoo on the neck, a wand, and a curly silver wig with blue tips.

For the Albus Potter costume, Alison is wearing gray pants, a white and green baseball tee, a green hoodie, and a ponytail. Sounds easy enough and comfy!

While costumes can be stressful for some, it’s important to note that sometimes all you need is one staple piece or accessory to help create a number of options. Whether it’s your House tie, a sweater, or even a school bag, this can unlock the potential for much more.

Michael knows all about this with his plethora of Potter costumes over the years.

Did You Know

Quidditch started in the 11th century at a place called Queerditch Marsh, which is not marked on Muggle maps because wizards have made the place unplottable. Originally, it was quite a crude game played on broomsticks with just the Quaffle.

Potter History

January 10, 2005 – Franz Ferdinand reconsidered contributing a song to Goblet of Fire.

Potter Quote

“Cedric was a person who exemplified many of the qualities that distinguish Hufflepuff house. He was a good and loyal friend, a hard worker, he valued fair play. His death has affected you all, whether you knew him well or not. I think that you have the right, therefore, to know exactly how it came about. […] Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort.”
