Harry Potter Kids Costumes

Harry Potter is an icon in modern times, but also a good role model, exhibiting such positive qualities as bravery, loyalty, and intelligence. The fact that children love to dress up as the heroes in this modern classic is a positive thing. Though, just as kids around the world have embraced Darth Vader and other menacing figures, some kids fun comes in playing the bad guy – and that’s ok too! With the world of Harry Potter, there are myriad Harry Potter kids costumes to choose for your child’s next Halloween party or trick-or-treating extravaganza!

Harry Potter Costumes for Kids

Some of the most popular Harry Potter costumes for kids include:

  • Harry Potter – This has been one of the most popular Halloween costumes of this decade! Harry is a member of Gryffindor house, and the black and burgundy robes of Gryffindor can be purchased almost anywhere. Add Harry’s signature round glasses, and a wand (save some money, and simply use a nicely sanded twig from the yard), and your little man is the famous Harry Potter.
  • Hermione – What better role model could your young witch have than this intelligent bookworm! This is another simple one: Start with a store bought Gryffindor robe, tease your young ladies hair to be curly and full, add a wand, and perhaps a nice leather bound book, and she is off to the library, or more likely, trick-or-treating. Try using a back-pack as her candy sack, to add to the scholarly feel.
  • Draco Malfoy – If your young one wants to take a little journey to the darker side of the wizarding world, let him be the son of a Deatheater. Slytherin robes, in the house colors of black with green, can also be purchased. Again, add a wand, and be sure to slick your guy’s hair down, tight to his head, and your wizard-in-training is off to take the Halloween world by storm!

Harry Potter Kids Costumes

Also available for purchase for your little wizard are costumes to make them Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Howarts, Harry’s snowy owl Hedwig, an evil and dark dementor, a scary Deatheater, or an athletic quidditch player! And of course, with a little creativity, your child can be the sometimes bumbling, but always kind hearted Hagrid; to dress up as the Hogwarts games keeper, simply hit the thrift store for a dark red button-up shirt, a brown sports jacket with front pockets, a black belt with an oversized buckle, a trench coat, brown boots and pants, and of course, a lot of brown hair with a very full beard!
