My kids have known for months what they wanted to be this year. It all started when we listened to the first Harry Potter book on tape this summer on our way to California.
Luckily, I talked the little ones into being owls so we could finally have family themed costumes.
It helps that my kids already look similar to the characters.
I can't get over how much he looks like a young Harry Potter.
I made the robes with a $5 bolt from Walmart. I was so excited when I found it. They were a nightmare to line with the burgundy, but totally worth it. I ordered the patches online for a few dollars each.
Hermione wants to wear hers 24-7.
It was her idea to pose with books. She takes her character very seriously.
There has been non-stop spell casting in our home all week.
I don't know if I should be concerned that they keep trying to kill each other with their spells?
Kate was so excited to not just be an owl, but Harry's owl.
I was inspired by THIS costume, but made mine a little differently.
I made the mask so it could be worn over her eyes or can sit on top of her head.
I think my favorite is the brown owl.
Hoo...Hoo...
I just love all the textures of the fabrics.
And I love the mask. It's so cute and only too minutes to make.
I'm so glad to be done and that they all worked out. It's been a crazy week. The best part is that most of our costumes came from stuff we had around the house. I only had to buy the robe material, patches, and glasses. We borrowed the tie and had everything else on hand. The owl costumes are made from old clothing in our donate piles.

Great minds think alike! We had a sweet neighbor make our kids special wands last summer, and that inspired our costume choices this year. I'm glad mine are not the only ones who've been hurling killing curses at each other!

That's so cute! My son is going to be Harry Potter this year too. I was going to make his cloche (?) too. But, decided it was cheaper (and much easier!) just to buy one. I wish I didn't though. It's very cheap looking...But, the important thing is: my son loves it!
