Most of the costumes (I'm assuming that you're talking about the robes) are 
easy.  They look to be variations on the basic caftan pattern.  The 
ridiculous pointy hats are buckram forms with fabric either glued or 
stitched.  Probably glued since they made so many.  What these need to look 
right is really wonderful fabric.  The flow looks like they either lined 
them or used middle weight and heavier fabrics.

Snape's buttoned cuff pants are another matter.  The vest can probably be 
found in the vest section of the commercial patterns.
