[HPFGU-Movie] HP Halloween Costumes

[olivia at serpensortia.com]

Well, since others are sharing...

I'm going as Harry. I'm not actually going anywhere, but I answer the doors
for the kiddies and it seemed like a Harry costume would be an easy
Do-It-Yourself.

You guys are lucky that you have graduation robes to wear. My high school
graduation robes were white so those are out unless I dress them up and go
as Lockhart. :)

But I do have a very long, thin black jacket that I'm wearing casual
non-classroom clothes. I found officially licenced HP glasses in a costume
shop with pre-Oculus Repearus tape on them. An stick in the backyard was
whittled into a very nice wand but I couldn't figure out how to get the
phoenix feather inside. Nor could I find an actual phoenix. Old Halloween
makeup that's been sitting in the cupboard for the past eight years will
give me a nice lightning bolt scar. (The real reason I wanted to dress as
Harry.) And my hair is naturally messy so I'm set there. Plus I was given a
stuffed Hedwig for Christmas last year that I'm going to tie on my arm. I'm
trying to figure out some kind of lever system that I can use to make her
nip my finger affectionately as she does often in the books. I'm sure I'll
look exactly like Daniel Radcliffe...if Daniel Radcliffe was a
nineteen-year-old girl one a shoestring budget, which I'm sure he truly is.

And for the grand finale, I'm attaching two stuffed dogs to my dog's collar
and he's going to be Fluffy...for about five seconds before he wrestles out
of it. But it'll be festive just the same.

I like all the ideas you guys are sending about costumes.
