    Ron Weasley Costume: How to Make Your Own at Home

    March 18, 2022 /

    There are a lot of great sidekicks out there, but I think it's unfair to count Ron Weasley among them. Though he certainly is Harry Potter's best friend, through the course of the seven Harry Potter books, Ron does more than serve as second fiddle to Harry.

    Mad-Eye Moody Costume: How to Make Your Own at Home

    March 4, 2022 /

    The world of Harry Potter is full of distinctive characters, but there are perhaps none that have such a distinctive appearance and have such an unforgettable introduction as Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. Even when he's being impersonated by Barty Crouch Jr. in the pages of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Mad-Eye Moody strikes an impressive, imposing figure – and actor Brendan Gleeson does an incredible job of bringing this character to the silver screen...

    There are some real baddies in the Wizarding World... Voldemort, the Death Eaters, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Severus Snape (okay maybe not all bad but still not a nice guy!), just to name a few. But there's nobody who makes my blood boil more than Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic and former High Inquisitor at Hogwarts...

    If there's one character that fans of the Harry Potter series universally love, it's Sirius Black. Loyal as a dog (pun intended), Sirius does his best to live up to his godfather duties after Harry discovers the truth of who's responsible for revealing his parent's whereabouts and causing their death. He provides support, care, and a much-needed parent figure for Harry in the few years they know each other...

    For someone who lives in a toilet at the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, it's really no surprise that Moaning Myrtle isn't the most pleasant person and lacks social skills. But many people loved her portrayal in the Harry Potter movies and want to dress up as her, whether for Halloween or your favorite Cosplay event...

    There's something soothing about crafting something by hand. I mean, I know it would be nice to magically knit elf hats and socks like Hermione, but surely I'm not alone in loving the feeling of accomplishment and creativity that comes from a craft project. And though it might seem old-fashioned, embroidery is a great craft activity to give you all those feels...
