Halloween and Harry Potter: The costumes that always keep giving

facebooktwitterreddit

When it comes to Halloween, you’d be hard pressed to not find a Harry Potter costume. But why do we seemingly go to them so easily? And why not Hagrid?

If you’re anything like me, Halloween is a time of year where your costume has to be perfect. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to details on my costume and I don’t like doing anything half way. So why did it take me 18 years to be Harry Potter in a costume? Well, it had to be perfect.

Dressing up as your favorite character can either be a joy or a torment, depending on how much you want it to be perfect. So many Potter fans don’t dress up like Harry because we want everything to look just as it should.

But to many, Halloween costumes are last minute thoughts. So we don’t really think about it in time to do anything so then Harry Potter becomes the easy go to. Because who doesn’t have a Gryffindor tie laying around? (I do and I have his wand so it is super easy.)

But whether you have the ties and robes at your disposable, it is still just a simple costume. Throw on some glasses and a lightning bolt scar and everyone knows who  you are. One year, I’d love to see an entire Harry Potter crew including Hagrid, McGonagall, Dumbledore and more.

There are plenty of Potter fans out there, I think it’d be pretty easy to orchestrate so everyone get out there and get ready to make Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry into your own reality.
