This Halloween my older kids really wanted to dress up in Harry Potter costumes. 

At first, we were going to have Amelia  (1 years old) be a mandrake, but we eventually decided that Hedwig the owl would be a better fit.

My son is almost 8 and looks quite a bit like Harry.

My daughter is almost 6 and she looks and sometimes acts quite a bit like Hermoine. So it was a really fun option for them to pick.

 Amelia does not like to sit still for even a minute when she is awake! Getting a photo shoot of her was a challenge but my kids were extremely helpful. I had to use different tactics to keep her entertained, one was giving her a little sucker.

My daughter and I made the Hedwig costume and a DIY tutorial on how to make it here. It was very inexpensive and required no sewing. 

We bought Harry’s wand, but Hermoine’s is handmade. Here is a quick tutorial on this, as well.

Harry just loved cuddling Hedwig which I thought was pretty cute!

Getting Harry, Hermoine, and Hedwig to look and smile at the same time was quite a struggle!

It was a fun Halloween and the kids loved casting spells and pretending to be the characters they were dressed up as.

Check out the posts about how to put together these costumes.

I hope you also had a wonderful Halloween!
