Cloak

A cloak was a type of loose garment that was worn over indoor clothing and served the same purpose as an overcoat, to protect the wearer from the cold, rain, or wind, or to form part of a fashionable outfit or uniform. Black cloaks were commonly worn by wizards and witches alike all over the wizarding world.
==Known cloaks==
While most wizards and witches wore a standard black cloak, other types of cloaks include:
*The Hogwarts winter cloak: As part of the school uniform, students were required, in cold weather, to wear a winter cloak with silver fastenings. 
*The Cloak of Invisibility: Only one true cloak of Invisibility existed, that which was passed down through the generations from Ignotus Peverell, eventually to reach Harry Potter. This cloak rendered the wearer truly invisible, as opposed to other cloaks which could only camouflage or conceal under an illusion. Additionally, it would never lose its power, unlike other invisibility cloaks, whose enchantment tended to wear off after years of frequent use.
==Behind the scenes==
* Although the cloak is more common in the wizarding world, it is not entirely uncommon for muggles to also wear them on certain occasions.
