MOG COSTUME PLUS
Professor Trelawney is another good costume: lots of floaty clothes, hippie necklaces, wild hair and thick glasses, plus a teacup or crystal ball. Or you could recycle Halloween costumes for Hedwig (owl), Aragog (spider) or any of the staff witches. For Luna (Kitty’s favourite), just add Spectrespecs and a copy of The Quibbler. Harry = robes (see our no-sew cloak tutorial for a simple make), glasses, lightning scar and wand (see Alfie’s party inspo for details on making your own).
Other His Dark Materials costume ideas are Iorak Byrnison (polar bear suit, with armour) and Lyra (lots of fake fur, Pantalaimon and a bag with an aleithiometer in).Ī wealth of options available for Potterheads and you don’t really need to buy official costumes. We got a t-shirt printed with the Northern Lights and stuck on a city silhouette we cut from gold leatherette and fastened battery-operated LED lights behind, then added accessories: an aleithiometer Alfie made from a travel sweet tin and a clock mechanism, an amber spyglass from part of a wrapping paper roll covered in gold leatherette with amber film and a soft toy Pantalaimon. I did cheat and buy the sash – it was about £2, but really makes the costume.Īlfie has previously gone as Northern Lights, which was slightly leftfield, but we ran with it. She wore a long black dress and I printed posters for her placard and made badges, then bought purple and green ribbon for her hair and to make a rosette (I put one of the badges in the centre). Kitty went as Coco Chanel in 2019 (black and white outfit, ballet pumps + a charity shop jacket with pearl trim, a couple of printed out logos, chain-strap bag and, of course, huge dark glasses) and Emmeline Pankhurst before that, which was really simple. Most popular are Frida Kahlo (embroidered dress or top, flower headdress, paintbrush/palette and drawn on eyebrows), Audrey Hepburn (little black dress, pearls, pumps and dark glasses), Amelia Earhart (brown leather jacket, flying helmet and goggles) and Marie Curie (Victorian-style dress, X-rays, Nobel Prize rosette).

Don’t forget to check our previous galleries of your amazing costumes for inspiration as well. Here’s my guide to easy WBD costume ideas that can (and, in our case, often have been) rustled up at the last minute (children are so fickle!). A lot of children will be at home because of the teachers’ strikes this year, but many schools, ours included, are celebrating on the Friday instead. World Book Day 2023 is nearly upon us – it’s this Thursday, 2nd March (seriously, how does it come around so quickly?).
