The **Hogwarts uniform** was the clothing that students attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were required to wear.

## Hogwarts-Uniform

The uniform must be worn every day in every lesson, and kept on while in the Great Hall, ***Study Hall***, Common Room or Library. Students might wear casual clothing when they had the day, or the rest of the day, free.
The uniform was washed in the ***laundry***, which was located somewhere in Hogwarts Castle and presumably operated by the house-elves enlisted by the school.

## Required uniform

The required uniform consisted of a ***plain work robes***, which during the early ***1900s*** was blue, and in the later years was black, and a black ***pointed hat*** for the day. Hogwarts required every pupil to buy at least three robes.
Certain Herbology classes required a pair of ***protective gloves***, such as ***those made from dragon hide*** or similar materials.

## Uniform accessories

For the cold winter months, students had a ***winter cloak*** with ***silver*** fastenings. Every piece of clothing was to carry ***name tags***.
Any pupil who held a position for which a badge was given, such as those for Prefects, displayed them on their uniform.
The constituents of the Hogwarts uniform could be purchased in Diagon Alley, at ***Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions*** and other needed clothing articles, but alternative options existed, such as ***Twilfitt and Tattings*** or the ***Second-Hand Robes*** shop.

## Behind the scenes

* In every film, pupils wear ***Muggle*** clothing during their free time.
* In every film, the uniform has colours and crests distinguishing each house, which is also a popular feature in every uniform available to buy. It is unknown what other clothing pupils wear in the books, but in the films, they have a white buttoned shirt, striped necktie in their house colours, black dress shoes, and grey v-neck jumpers with house colour stripes at the neck, waist and the ends of the sleeves. The boys wear trousers and breeches and the girls wear cardigans and skirts.
* In the film adaptation of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,* before being sorted, the students uniforms did not have their house colours, and the necktie was black with the Hogwarts logo on it.

### Film adaptations uniform

* The films changed the design of the uniform in the films once, with the one seen in *Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban* (film) replacing the one seen in *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone* and *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.*
* The only thing that stayed the same were the colours of each house, with scarlet and gold for Gryffindor, green and silver in Slytherin, Hufflepuff being yellow and black, and Ravenclaw being blue and silver.
* In the books, Ravenclaw is blue and bronze but that was changed to blue and silver in the films.

#### Late 1800s

In the late ***1800s***, students wore button down vests in the colours of each house, with scarlet for Gryffindor, green for Slytherin, blue for Ravenclaw, and black and yellow for Hufflepuff with an emblem of the house mascot on one side.

#### 1908–1914, 1920s

In the late ***1900s*** and early ***1910s***, as well as the ***1920s***, the uniform is navy blue, with the girls wearing tartan skirts.

#### 1938–1945

In the late ***1930s*** and early 1940s, the film replaced a robe with a grey blazer with the emblem of the house the pupil is in. They had a plain white shirt and a house themed tie, with a grey knitted v-neck jumper. The boys could wear grey trousers or breeches while the girls wore a gymslip with a pleated skirt. Tom Riddle and his gang can be seen wearing blazers in ***the sixth film***.
In the second film, students wore a cloak as the outer of the blazer. It is indicated that cloak has already developed as one of the school official uniforms though it hasn't become the must-wear ones. Tom Riddle and Myrtle Warren were seen wearing this uniform.

#### 1971–1978

In the ***1970s***, the uniform stayed relatively the same with slight changes. Pupils appeared to wear grey blazers under the robes. Sirius Black, James Potter, ***Remus Lupin***, Peter Pettigrew, Severus Snape and Lily Evans were seen wearing the uniform.

#### 1991–1993

By the early 1990s, the uniform had changed quite a bit. Pupils no longer wore blazers. They were replaced by plain robes with a large emblem. They had to wear a plain white buttoned shirt with a house themed tie in thick stripes.
They could also wear a grey knitted v-neck jumper with the house colours on the neckline, plain black shoes, grey socks, and an open black buttoned robe with the student's house emblem on. They often wore a scarf which had thick blocks.
