Kids Harry Potter Costumes are Hot for Halloween 2012!

One of the best kids costumes this year is Harry Potter, the great boy wizard himself!  With the release of the latest Harry Potter movie, kids Harry Potter costumes have become one of the most popular Halloween costumes for Halloween 2012!

With the following costume pieces below your child will transform into the magical wizard himself.  There are also lots of cool Harry Potter accessories available to complete your costume.

• Harry Potter Gryffindor Robe – the best kids Harry Potter costumes we have seen include a black robe with a Gryffindor Crest embroidered on the front, hood and burgundy lining like this one from BuyCostumes.com. The deluxe version of the robe is made out of black velvet so there are lots of options depending on how elaborate you want to go this year.

Add your own black pants, black shoes and white collard shirt to the robe to complete the Harry Potter kids costume look as shown.

Harry Potter Accessories to complete your kids Harry Potter costumes:

• Harry Potter Glasses – Every Harry Potter fan knows that Harry is never seen without his trademark round glasses. Adding round glasses to your costume is an easy way to add authenticity to it. We found three great options for Harry Potter Glasses all for under $5.00!

• Harry Potter Gryffindor Tie - all students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are required to wear ties that represent the house they were sorted into. Harry was sorted into the Gryffindor House and wears their colors, scarlet red and gold. There are some great options available for Gryffindor ties that have the Gryffindor crest embroidered onto them. You can also create your own Gryffindor tie by taking some red felt fabric, cutting it into the shape of a tie and painting gold stripes onto it. For the Gryffindor crest, you can print out the crest onto iron-on transfer paper and iron it onto your tie. Many options to choose from and all would work great.

• Harry Potter Wands - every magical wizard needs a magical wand to cast spells with. This year there are so many different choices for Harry Potter wands that its hard to pick just one. We found wands that light up and wands that are motion activated, light up and have sound! Very cool options this year.

• Harry Potter Broomstick - this broomstick is a fun addition to any Harry Potter costume.

• Harry Potter Scar and Makeup Kit and Lightning-Bolt Tattoos – When Harry Potter was 1 year old, he survived an attack by the evil Lord Voldemort which left Harry with a lightning-bolt shaped scar on his forehead. This makeup and scar kit makes creating a scar like Harry Potter’s super simple. A 3-d latex scar comes in the pack with matching makeup to create a realistic scar. If latex and makeup is too intimidating for you we also found some lightning-bolt shaped tattoos that would work great too.

• Harry Potter Lantern - It’s the little details that make Halloween costumes great. We found this super cool Harry Potter lantern that actually lights up and works!
