Upon the Vexed Question of Robes

For those of you who wish to translate their vision of Hogwarts Robes 
into reality, I offer Simplicity Pattern #3339 (also numbered P254).  

In illustration for the children's sizes, all the kids are standing 
around a cauldron, waving wands, and the boy is wearing ROUND ;) 
glasses...Since I have been looking for HP Halloween stuff (for me, 
my sons are too old [or not old enough],) this is the best that I 
have been able to find.  

Sure, the kids wear their school uniform/robes, but the teachers are 
described as wearing robes different both from the pupils and from 
each other, i.e., Trelawney's shawl & jewelry, Lockheart's amazing 
Technicolor robes, Hagrid's moleskin, Snape's unrelieved black, etc.  
   By the way, my wand is ebony, 12 inches, not very bendy, with a 
Hippogryph's flight feather.
