Finding Fun Halloween Costume Accessories

You may not dress up each year for Halloween, but that could change at any time. You do not have to be under the age of ten to have a lot of fun on the last day of October each year.

 While kids may go out and ask for candy each year, adults find a different way to have fun. There are always parties for adults, as well as work functions that can occur just for Halloween. The costume you pick is going to be one of the biggest things on your mind, so think hard about what you want to be. Once you have decided, remember that the Halloween costume accessories that you choose often mean the different between an okay costume and one that is amazing.

Why Details Matter

No matter what you or your child wants to be for Halloween on any given year, the Halloween costume accessories are going to be the most fun as well as the most important part of a costume. Imagine a pirate without a sword or a fake parrot on his or her shoulder. Imagine how much more fun a ghost costume is going to be when you add a chain to the costume. A princess or a fairy princess is not going to be as much fun without a tiara, wand, and a set of wings to go along with the dress. You could never be a convincing punk rocker with the mohawk, jewelry, and the really interesting shoes that are all accessories.

Also, how could you be a Harry Potter character without a wand, or a robe?

Some costumes you can find on the shelves in the stores come with Halloween costume accessories and you do not have to worry too much about finding more. However, that does not mean you have to use what comes with a costume if you want to use something else. Perhaps the sword that comes with the costume is too long and you are worried about that. The hat that comes with another may match well, but it may fall off too much. You can either modify it, or you can go out and find a new one that will fit and stay on when you need it to. You won’t have a lot of fun on Halloween if you are constantly worried about holding on to or adjusting any of your accessories for your Halloween costume.

If you are going to make your own costume, you are definitely going to have to find your own Halloween costume accessories to go with what you envision in your mind. Once you know what you want to make, or after your child has made a request, you can probably figure out what accessories you are going to need for that costume. If you are not totally sure, look for that same costume somewhere else to see what others include, or just browse through a selection of Halloween costume accessories to see what catches your eye. You will come up with all the right pieces this way.

You may find that some Halloween costume accessories that you buy can be used for other ideas or even other events. Some things can be saved for when your children want to play dress up. Whatever the case, you should make sure you take a little time to clean things up if you are going to save them for another time. You can wash the costume (hand-washing is usually a good idea) if it is made with fabric, and then you can wash any accessories you have used with a mild detergent and then let air dry. Once you have done that, you can put them away for later.

Harry Potter Gryffindor Robe Child Costume

This is  an inexpensive version of the deluxe Harry Potter Gryffindor robe.

It’s just as good for trick or treating and Halloween activities but is not as costly.

With the money that you save with the robe, you could have a little extra left over to buy some of  those cool accessories your child would love such as the Harry Potter Student Hat, Harry Potter Gryffindor Economy Scarf or the Harry Potter Lantern.

Harry Potter comes in contact with a lot of ghosts and he knows how to handle them.

It’s Halloween everyday at Griffindor and you can get in on all the fanciful and unusual fright with your own Harry Potter original costume.

Here are some of the favorites.   

Harry Potter Dementor

The dementors  were the monstrous grim creatures plaguing Harry in  The Half Blood Prince  and The Prisoner of Azkaban.  They are tons of fun for trick or treaters who really want to mesmerize and  shock  others unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

This costume has received good reviews from people who have already bought it.

The only thing to note is that the mask may vary a little from the picture online, but it is still very intimidating just like the dementors in the books and the movies.

Harry Potter  Deluxe Robe Child

Why not start a Harry Potter costume collection? 

This is the costume to begin with because  every young wizard needs this deluxe robe. 

Apparently it lives up to its “deluxe” title because the reviews state the material is a very good quality.  Some buyers have described it as “felt-like”, not the polyester type of material they were expecting. 

Tip: Check the size.  It could possibly run a little small, although you don’t want to get it too big.

Harry Potter Gryffindor Robe Deluxe

The secret is out. Kids love these costumes and want to wear them all the time, not just at Halloween.

An investment in a Harry Potter costume is an investment in lots of hours of fun play time because your kids can act out their favorite scenes and parts of the books as long as they want .

Quidditch Robe
 

This costume is for the ultimate die hard Harry Potter fan. 

A lot of kids love the Quidditch games and really want to play, just like the young wizards who had mastered the sport.

You can also combine this costume with a broom to get really authentic.

Again, reviews are very good for this outfit, which some parents have had trouble finding offline.

Get it early, and check sizes.   

Harry Potter Robe Adult Costume

You never outgrown Harry Potter fun.   The adult costumes are more popular than ever because  this kind of masquerade is practically at cult status. 

This is also an easy costume to wear.  You can just thrown it on over a shirt and black pants.  No difficult make-up and junk accessories.

 One more Harry Potter costume idea is to get costumes for everyone in the family.
