Harry Potter Fancy Dress
Friday, May 4th, 2012Harry Potter has effected a generation of people. Whether you love it or hate it, there is not a person who has not heard of Hogwarts. And now, fancy dress caters to the magical needs of each and every would-be witch or wizard out there. The most common fancy dress choice, understandably, is Harry Potter himself. His lightning bolt scar, untameable black hair and his mother’s eyes leave Harry the most recognisable wizard of the century.
Due to the extensive world of Harry Potter, and the characters in it, others think instead of the dark wizards, the death eaters. Because of this, fancy dress suppliers have worked their best to provide authentic looking and comfortable death eater costumes. There are things like masks, robes, and even the Dark Mark as a temporary tattoo available for purchase.
Luna Lovegood is one of the most memorable characters beyond Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Her quirky ways, and love of things that others deem dubious, is what sets her apart from the other friends of the trio. Her penchant for unusual jewellery and Chuck Taylors makes her easy to imitate. A pair of radish earrings, a wig of slightly curly blonde hair, and a Ravenclaw robe, and people will recognise you as the idiosyncratic daughter of Xenophilius.
Darker, still, and there are options to become the Dark Lord himself. There are many masks available that mimic Voldemort’s snake-like face, with slits for nostrils and piercing red eyes. His black cloak is available in various styles, from the slightly ripped and dirty, to his darkest days.
Not forgetting the Ministers for Magic. Cornelius Fudge’s businessman apparel can be located almost anywhere. Or Kingsley Shacklebolt’s more regal robes, of deep purple and blue, complimented by his unusually shaped matching hat.
