So Much Harry Potter Cosplay

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Since July, we’ve done a bunch of fun Harry Potter-related stuff. We went to Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia to take part in their new, revamped and renamed HP festival, called Witches and Wizards Weekend. We also attended Wizard School at the Franklin Institute. This past week was my birthday, so I had an early Yule Ball for myself at home, in preparation for our Harry Potter Alliance chapter’s Yule Ball, which was fantastic. 


I figured I’d share some of my photos of all the awesome Harry Potter cosplay and fun.


Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania
This was a (mostly) 2-day event. There was a nighttime pub crawl on Friday and then a full-day on Saturday with activities, shopping, food, and fun seeing all the cosplays. I saw this magical school hate and I had to have it for my witch outfits. Only $10. Of course, it only comes in the one size.

This lady wins all the awards for creativity…and that baby was adorable!

Quidditch represent!
Eric bought ALL the flair. For those wondering, the giant buttons say “Keep Calm and Carry a Wand” and “Make Magic, Not War”

Franklin Institute – Philadelphia
This was a 21+ event put on at a science center, so therewerea lot of really cool science-y magic things, and this lecture on Nicholas Flamel.

Ha! This actually led into a room with a train.
We made “magic” wands and then recreated these at home with our own materials.

Everyone dressed up and we made wands and played games and chatted about Harry Potter. This was my very Ravenclaw look.
My friend Stephanie wins for most creative costume. She came as Christmas Dobby.

So, I can’t sew, but I still try (for some reason) and came up with this offset cloak for Eric to wear and show off his Hufflepuff-y-ness. It was good if you didn’t look too hard at it, but it was a fun look.

I went with a more Ravenclaw look with a giant puffy tulle skirt that I sewed lights into. This is super easy to do and everyone thinks it looks professional and amazing. I got so many compliments on my “dress”. 

I’ll post more of our adventures of in Philadelphia soon, including more of the Franklin Institute, which I highly recommend for just a regular day of educational fun.

Have you done any fun costumed stuff lately?
