Snape costuming- other costumes

[norsecode]

I rather liked Snape's clothes.  JKR uses the word "billowing" to 
describe his robes, and I just loved the way they billowed in the 
movie as he walked away from Harry, Ron, and Hermione (after telling 
them to be careful, "People might think you're up to something.")  

As for makeup, I must agree that it was way too pastey. 
I think the greasy hair was just right, though.

While I'm on the topics of costumes...

Did anyone else hate the ridiculous hat that Prof. McGonagal wore to 
the quidditch match?  It made her look as quirky as Dumbledore SHOULD 
have looked.  It certainly wasn't anything I pictured her wearing.

LOL!!  I know!  I too thought those hats were ridiculous.  You know, 
when I read the books, I never pictured anyone (except Dumbledore and 
McGonagal) even wearing hats.  So, when I would see kids wearing 
witches hats for the release of GoF, it was weird.  I guess I never 
really connected Harry Potter with traditional notions of witchcraft 
garb, even though McGonagal obviously wore a pointed hat.  But, in 
the movie, the students aren't usually wearing the hats anyway, so 
that just fits in with my expectations.

The costumes I like best were the quidditch uniforms.  They were so 
colorful, and well, I just thought they were cool.  Probably not the 
most game-efficient clothing in the world (who wants to wear huge 
capes that will only slow them down?), but very cool!
