If you can, use slacks and a collared, button-up shirt. The Hogwarts dress code requires everyone to look smashing. Wear a burgundy cardigan (red sweater) in cold weather. Harry Potter doesn't wear this all the time in the films, but it's required for all Hogwarts students in the books. Besides, a shirt and trousers aren't too wizardly by themselves. There are several ways to track one of these down: Ask whether they have old ones they will sell cheaply for costume purposes. Thrift stores, charity stores, and costume shops might stock these. If you know any professors, judges, or lawyers, ask to borrow their robes. (Note lawyers in the United States don't wear robes.) Wear a long, black coat back-to-front, or a long black skirt over your shoulders. A pointy black hat isn't necessary for Harry Potter, but it is easily recognized as a wizarding hat. The main use for a hat like this is to hide long hair, if you have it. Find a pair of round glasses with black frames at a used clothing store or drugstore. Put a piece of clear sellotape (scotch tape) over the middle of the glasses, like Harry does when his glasses break. Toy stores sell fake glasses along with a nose and mustache. Cut off the extra bits, and they're the perfect shape. If you have your own glasses, you can make the rims black with puffy paint. For a quicker costume, cut out empty circles from black construction paper and tape them over the rims. If you're lucky, you can find a scarf with red and gold stripes at a clothing store, or have someone knit or sew it for you. Otherwise, you'll need to start with a plain red scarf. There are a couple ways you can add the golden or yellow stripes: Wrap a yellow ribbon around the scarf in a spiral. Staple or sew it in place. Cut yellow felt or construction paper into rectangles. Lay these out on the scarf. Staple or sew them on. Paint the fabric with fabric paint. Find a red tie from a thrift shop you probably don't want to paint on your own or your family's. You can make this the same way you did the scarf, but fabric paint will look best. In the films, the Gryffindor ties are red with diagonal gold stripes. Draw a thin gold line. Skip 3 cm (1.2 in), then draw two thick lines with a thin gap in between. Skip another 3 cm (1.2 in), and repeat with a new thin line. Draw the famous lightning bolt running down your forehead. Use red lip liner, lipstick, or a nontoxic, washable marker. The scar is sometimes shown and described as running down the middle of his forehead, or running down the right side.
