She’s the sweet, know-it-all friend of Harry Potter at Hogwart’s Academy. Hermione Granger costumes are a fun and easy idea for Halloween. Follow these steps for a perfect Hermione costume for your next themed event or party.

Get a long, blonde wig. You don’t want light blonde, more like a sandy colour. It should be wavy, so either buy one or pick up a straight one that you can style at home with a curling iron.

Wear a plain black robe. You can add gloves, a hat, and a winter cloak as well, as she often wears these. You can find authentic Gryffindor robes and ties online to complete the Hermione costume, or try and create the Gryffindor crest yourself at home. Wear a plain white dress shirt underneath. I’ve seen some really nice Gryffindor scarves in scarlet and gold, also available online.

You need a Hermione Granger costume wand. For an authentic “Prisoner of Azkhaban” look, wear an hourglass necklace around your neck. As an added touch, you can carry around some books, either in your arms or a book bag. Hermione loves to study!

Want to wow as a young wizard this year? Harry Potter costumes take only a few things, and you can even create a great look for your next party at home.

Harry Potter Costume

You’ll need a black robe – the easily recognizable Gryffindor Robe, available at any costume shop. Or, hunt for a long black robe at a thrift store. Underneath the robe, put on a plain white dress shirt. It can be short or long sleeved, as only the collar and top button or two will show from the robe.

You’ll need a red and gold Gryffindor tie for your Harry Potter costume, but you can always just buy a gold one and colour red lines on it with a fabric pen or regular marker.

Accessorize your Harry Potter costume with a black wand, a pair of round glasses, and a broomstick. Write “Firebolt” on the broomstick with a black marker.

Harry’s hair is easy to recreate: if you have short, brown hair, you’re set. Otherwise, opt for a short wig, or temporary hair dye to change your locks. For makeup, draw a lightning scar on your forehead.
