Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are both his closest friends. Harry’s arch enemy at the Hogwarts is Draco Malfoy, a member of the Slytherin House.

Herein describes all the major types of Harry Potter characters. Know them well and you are on your way to dressing up in the best classical Harry Potter Halloween Costumes.

Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley

The Harry Potter child robe is a long luxurious black velvet lined in burgundy satin. Now we are uncertain as to what its true material is made of, but the Halloween costume version is polyester. There is a Gryffindor lion emblem printed on the left side of the chest and the hood is lined with maroon colored fabric. The child Harry Potter wears glasses as well as the Hogwarts Student Wizard Hat.

Now Hermione is in a unique class. She has long, sandy-blonde hair that gives a ‘flyaway’ look. She wears a white collared button down dress shirt and tie that go on underneath the black robe. She wears a skirt and carries a wand. Because she loves to study more than anyone else in the school, she carries a book bag stuffed with books. If dressing up in her style, carrying the book bag with book-sized items will certain help portray the character better. These books can and should be made up of styrofoam, instead of real books – carrying them during Halloween is indeed fairly inconvenient!
