Since the first Harry Potter book was released in 1997, children and adults alike have come under the spell of this boy wizard and his life at Hogwarts School. Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone and the subsequent six books and associated movies have given us a world full of amazing characters, a magical world of witchcraft and wizardry, plus a whole new game - quidditch.
What better way to spend Halloween than dressed up in a costume from Harry Potter and there are a great many to choose from. I'm going to give you a list of what I think are the five best Harry Potter costumes available to cast spells or scare this Halloween.
BLUE DRESS
1. Dementors.
This has to be one of the scariest costumes around as befits these foul soul-sucking creatures that guard the wizard prison of Azkaban. These creatures have a human shape, are at least ten feet tall and wear dark, hooded cloaks that reveal their horrible grey and decayed hands. They don't have any eyes and have a hole in place of their mouth. They feed on other people's positive emotions and happy memories and force them to relive their worst memories as well as sucking out their souls. These are nasty and frightening creatures - great characters for Halloween costumes.
2. Voldemort.
Lord Voldemort is the most evil and feared wizard and the arch-enemy of Harry Potter. He totally lacks normal human emotions and responses and has no desire for friendship or love. His desire to secure immense power and immortality makes him extremely powerful and ruthless. Once upon a time Voldemort was described as very handsome but he was transformed into a monster. He is tall and thin, with no hair, yellow teeth, red eyes, long and blue finger nails, no nose and a snake-like slit for nostrils. He wears a long dark black robe and carries a wand that has a handle which appears to be made of bone.
3. Death Eaters.
The Death Eaters are a small group of witches and wizards who are followers of Voldemort. They commit many evil crimes. They recognise one another by the dark mark on their left forearm which was created by Voldemort to summon them quickly into his presence. They typically wore black, hooded robes and masks, but in the film Goblet of Fire they wore skull masks with pointed hats. In the Order of the Phoenix they wore metal masks and purple robes.
4. Harry Potter's Gryffindor Robe.
If you fancy joining Harry, Ron and Hermione in Gryffindor House then you must wear the long black robe with attached hood and burgundy lining. The Gryffindor crest on the front is a lion rampant in scarlet and gold which symbolizes the characteristics of the house - courage, bravery, daring and chivalry.
5. Harry Potter's Quidditch Robe.
Quidditch is a fictional sport created by J.K. Rowling and played by wizards from all around the world. It's a fast, exciting and dangerous game with two teams flying on broomsticks competing for points scored by throwing a ball, the Quaffle, through hoops and trying to capture the golden snitch. The Quidditch costume is a great crimson ankle length robe with yellow lining.
