ohmyblondiee Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hey guys! I'm so excited to come! I am going to be traveling to the UK from the US, and I just happen to be near by when this conference is happening, and I just bought my ticket! This won't be the first conference that I've attended, and usually I wear my hogwarts uniform...but what will you all be wearing? Much love and see you there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegan5 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Oh so tempted to dress up, I have a gryffindor fancy dress thing from Whimsic Alley (loveeee that shop!) it's like a mini grey dress pleated with all the crests, + cloak ) I also put together a slytherin outfit for Halloween last October, that was just a black pleated skirt, white shirt + Slytherin tie + Dark Mark tattoo. I might see who else I know is going to this first then decide whether or not to dress up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta_Jan Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm not sure I can come to this event but I'd love to & if I can I'll be coming as Luna lovegood & Moaning Myrtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dork Lord Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 If I do indeed come to this event, I have three options. One, a fairly decent Lucius Malfoy costume, though it will be a little basic, and it requires me to find a long blonde wig. Two, a slightly more decent Snape costume that will require a shoulder length black wig. Three, a generic wizard style costume. I've got a robe that's only a little too short, not daftly so. Then I figure I'll put together something that looks like I belong in the wizard world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potter 1 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Does anyone know where to get a harry potter costume? ive tried to get hold of one but i cant. Ive seen some of the pic's of the costumes some of you have and there amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegan5 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I know there are good american shops, the official warner brothers store has good costumes, Whimsic Alley does really good uniforms. Given that your short for time there are a number of options, the uniform skirt and shirt etc you could pick up in a normal highstreet store, sometimes even charity shops... the tie etc can be purchased from Amazon, or you could look for the Hogwarts house patch and iron or sew it onto a tie :) For other costumes like quidditch, I've yet to find an adult one in the uk... but have in the past seen some available to the UK on ebay :) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaMarie Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) So, friday night I'm going as Cliche Hermione to the quidditch party. xD White shirt, waist black skirt, gryff tie, SPEW badge, cloak, Hermione's wand, and if I can fix it my timeturner, however it is spectacularly broken right now (scratch that, I just bought a new, very cheap, fake one that'll do for the party... I couldn't afford another noble collection one!) And to yule ball I am being teenage Lily Evans. White dress, red hair, green contacts, mini-wand in hair, black heels, possibly cloak, gold tiffany necklace...

ohmyblondiee Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 damn, i forgot my hogwarts skirt...oh well, a sweater/tie/polo with jeans won't be too bad, eh? I can't wait! I hope everyone else is dressed up! I got my stuff at Whimsic Alley, they do a wonderful job, I highly recommend it to anyone, even though it's a big late now. I HAVE THE PERFECT YULE BALL OUTFIT! Butttt of course I won't be able to make it...it's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewarethepossums Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 For the quidditch party I'm going as a generic Hufflepuff In a completely make-shift non-canon outfit! (the best kind) Bright yellow rugby/hockey top with a giant black stripe across the middle, with a black hogwarts skirt and long yellow rugby socks. And my snitch necklace! I'm coming as Pansy to the Yule Ball: a little black dress with a green sash, black heels, silver snake jewelery, and a haughty sneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emiliel Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 For the quidditch party I'm going as a generic Hufflepuff In a completely make-shift non-canon outfit! (the best kind) Yeah my Quidditch party outfit is make shift non-canon as well!! I decided to go as a "Crazy Gryffindor supporter" And I'm pretty much just wearing as much red and gold as I can: Red skirt with red and gold stripey border, some form of t shirt (haven't worked that part out yet), red tights, gold shoes (XD) and possibly some form of face paint! I think I look somewhere inbetween a cheerleeder and someone who just fell into a wardrobe and wore whatever clothes stuck! And me and my friend are making little flags to wave (Gryffindor for me, Ravenclaw for her)! And for the Yule Ball, I'm wearing Hermione's dress from Slughorn's party in the new film. I put more effort into this costume! I'm so excited, can you tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewarethepossums Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Oh I really liked that Hermione dress! Yeah, my skirt for the Quidditch party makes me feel a bit like a cheerleader too (we should just be cheerleaders...I wonder if anywhere sells yellow and black pom poms xD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
