Harry Potter Costumes Are Hot This Halloween

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 7, 2009 -- Ever since author J. K. Rowling exploded into bookstores with her enchanted world of Harry Potter, Halloween has never been the same.

Alongside talking trees, wand-waving wizards, flying brooms, floating cars, and the ever-popular Quidditch, Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have become household names and Halloween staples-inspiring millions of fans to embrace their inner wizards and align themselves with their favorite costumed character.

Whether spawned by Rowling's series of seven novels or soon-to-be-eight film adaptations (or a combination of the two) trick-or-treaters all across the world are scribbling lightning-shaped scares onto their foreheads; donning brooms and their Hogwarts House robes, scarves and ties; waving their wands; and taking their turns underneath the famous Hogwarts First Year Sorting Hat-all before heading out into the "muggle world" in pursuit of the one thing they enjoy more than magic. . . candy.

And these colorful costumes aren't just for Halloween. Thousands of fans also dress as their favorite charmed characters to celebrate the premieres of each big-screen adaptation. This means that we'll all be spotting Potter, Dumbledore, Hermione, Weasley, and Lord Voldemort look-alikes, not just on October 31, but in movie theaters worldwide throughout 2010 and 2011-the dates slated for the final (and largest) releases of the franchise's eight film adaptations.

Harry Potter Costumes

Are you ready to put on your Hogwart's best (or worst, depending on your choice of characters) and step out of the "muggle" world and into a world of magic, spells, and Halloween fun?

Will you be Harry, himself? He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts' greatest Headmaster? Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, or another member of the Weasley family? A prisoner of Azkaban? The Half-Blood Prince? A Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin? Severus Snape? Or Sirius Black?

Potter and friends may have to take the Floo Network to Diagon Alley-the home of such shops as Eeylops Owl Emporium, The Leaky Cauldron, and Potage's Cauldron Shop-in search of their magical supplies, but you don't have to. . .
