It can be a difficult time with so many balls, bashes, and parties to prepare for on a limited budget. Unfortunately, I don’t know what that’s like any more thanks to Nora’s Bookies being a raging success (First Task Pool starting now, find L. Clements for more info!) HOWEVER I (and my less glamorous assistant T. Morgan) have worked hard to provide a compendium of creative costume concepts!
- Ask one of the older years to use Diffindo on your face to chop it up and get it nice and bloody. Scars Heal
- Get one of the (creature that bites?) to eat off half your face – voila, instant Vikander
- Go as Ataka in the fashion show
- Raid the bathroom for the bog roll so you can go as a mummy
- We’re working on a batch of polyjuice potion, with not all the right ingredients and done in three days not a month, but we promise it works… at least for this purpose, it’ll certainly morph you into something
- Take a trip to the Forbidden Forest on the full moon wearing a necklace of sausages
- Go and tell one of the Durmstrang students that they’re a sissy and wait for them to knock you out. The trick is to keep insulting them as they punch for the proper bloodied up look
- Steal one of the thestrals and ride it in, it’ll look like you’re floating just like a ghost
- “Borrow” someone’s robes, shred them a bit and go with your hood up, voila, instant dementor
- “Borrow” a roommate’s bed sheets, cut holes in where your eyes are and you can go as a ghost
- Wear a pillow as a loincloth; instant house elf
- Paint yourself green and write envy on the forehead of your best friend. Ba-dum-tsh. Just don’t separate or someone will ask why you’re dressed as a pea
Find a large pumpkin, cut out arm holes, leg holes and a head hole[Editor’s note: don’t do this]- Engorgio a box of Bertie Botts and cut a hole out for your head, arms, and legs
- Go ask Cardan out after the first task – a weeping ghost in a blue dress
