Harry Potter remains one of the most popular costume sets for Halloween costumes. I fully support this choice. But sometimes, the school uniforms are just a bit boring. Never fear, you can support your love of the Harry Potter universe with these DIY Harry Potter costumes that have nothing to do with school uniforms.
10 DIY Harry Potter Costumes (that have nothing to do with school uniforms)
You’ll love these alternative DIY Harry Potter costumes!
Rita Skeeter
I wish Rita was in every book. In all honesty, Rita is one of my favorite characters. It never bothered me that she made wild accusations, but I suppose, in the end, she wasn’t the best person ever. Perfect for a costume!
Molly Weasly
If you look as much like Molly as this woman does, wear this costume and have done with it.
Narcissa Malfoy
If you want to be one of the coolest and most aloof dark witches, Narcisia is for you.
Mandrake
I love this costume idea for a baby. But you could also be an adult mandrake, if you wanted.
Nearly Headless Nick and the Grey Lady
These ghostly costumes are quite elaborate. But I bet you could be recognized with a little less effort.
Buckbeak
Dress up like a mythical creature! I’m going to this year. 🙂
The Snitch
Everyone will want to catch you if you dress up like this, so watch out.
Harry’s Patronus
You don’t have to dress as Harry’s patronus, but if you do, definitely use this as your inspiration.
Dobby
Dress as Dobby for instant fame and if you are currently running low on socks.
The Book
Sometimes dressing up as the literal Harry Potter book is the right choice. Pick your favorite, and create!
