Black or maroon cloak
Striped shirt
Jeans (or a dress if a girl)

Harry Potter book (optional)
Black wig (if your hair isn't already black)

Instructions:
Now, you don't have to be a boy to be Harry Potter! First, put on the striped shirt and jeans. Take a black wig (if your hair isn't already black) and cut it if it is too long. Then take styling gel and make the wig look messy (you can do this with your own hair, ok?). If you want to be a girl, slip on a dress and put on a cloak (boys can put on a cloak, too). Use a wand, hold the book if you like, and take a wooden broom and decorate it if you want!
