"So, last week I decided to be Harry Potter!"  
Well, not REALLY.

Although I have dressed as a Harry Potter character before, I doubt I could pull off a Harry.

Which brings me to my questions for everyone here.
Have you ever dressed as a Harry Potter character before? If so, who? And for what occasion?
Mind sharing any pictures?
(You could also share pictures if you just happen to look like a HP character as well)

As for me, my answers are as follows.

I've dressed as Bellatrix for the opening night of Goblet of Fire in my hometown.
Unfortunately, the pictures of me in the full costume haven't been developed yet, so the best I can do is crappy webcam pictures, which were contrasted a bit to death as the wig kept trying to put a shadow on my whole head. :(




Ergh, I didn't get one with the striped shirt I purchased. This was about as clear as I could get it.


Contrasted to all hell to show the wig details.



I assume this is ok to be here? If not I'll kill the post.

That's me and [livejournal.com profile] cherrysk8fan on Halloween. I know the costume isn't completely accurate, but it's fun none the less!

I'm on the left in that one, and that is some girl we met a costume contest that we didn't know but were like OMG another Harry Potter person!!!11! So, we took a picture of her, too.

We dressed up like this last Halloween and for the GoF midnight premiere, and we are doing it again at Lumos in July.

I dressed up as Hermione for Halloween. Pic is here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v16/ciara_belle/Halloween/IMG_0613.jpg).

Uh, please ignore the fact that I have glasses on. I don't have contacts and I enjoy seeing.

Actually a bunch of my friends also dressed up as HP characters for Halloween. Harry and Ginny (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v16/ciara_belle/Halloween/IMG_0607.jpg) and Lucius (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v16/ciara_belle/Halloween/IMG_0614.jpg) and we had a bunch more. It was hilarious. ^^

We also wore our costumes to the GoF midnight showing here in Norwich.

I dressed up as Narcissa Malfoy for this last Halloween. Narcissa's my favorite character, but as my hair is dark, I had to borrow a blonde wig from a friend of mine. And yeah, I was not meant to be blonde. My best friend went as Bellatrix Lestrange, so that was fun with the two of us. Another friend of ours dressed up as Remus Lupin. You can just imagine the pictures that were taken with us three together. :-D

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures yet. Friends took pictures but they haven't given them to me yet, which is annoying, but it'll happen sooner or later, I'm sure.

For the midnight showing of GoF, two guy friends and I dressed up, just not as specific HP characters. Kyle (who was the Remus Lupin at Halloween) wore his Hogwarts jacket, I wore a Slytherin shirt and a dark green jacket, and Michael wore a Gryffindor polo, Slytherin tie, Gryffindor watch, Slytherin wristband, and a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. We all had Dark Marks, lol. It was one of the best nights of my life. :-D

I dress up on occasion as a "teenage Rowena Ravenclaw" even though I have blonde hair and she had brown. I went as her on Halloween but unfortunately I don't have any pictures from there. They're not very good pictures, but they're the best I have: Image and Image

I have a hand made, yet horrible, wand: Image

Some call me psyco (like all my friends), but oh well. There's no better addiction than an addiction to Harry Potter!

I think I also have some pictures of me with my Ravenclaw tie, black sweater, skirt, shoes, wand, and the white collared shirt somewhere, but I'm not sure. If I find them I'll comment again.

Pretty. wtf is up with your eyes on those pics?
[identity profile] ex-superstit361.livejournal.com on February 20th, 2006 06:50 pm (UTC)
Thanks!

Haha I'm not entirely sure. It's either something that happens with the webcam doing odd things, or perhaps ME doing odd things because I hate looking directly at the webcam (as I think it makes me look like I'm 12, or perhaps a general lack of sleep.

My husband, when he has to pose, does this weird mouth thing. Otherwise, if you catch him off guard he's normal and okay, but if he poses or if he knows a picture is coming, SQUICK goes the mouth!

Looks like you were tired and trying to keep your eyes open :)

Haha I have some family members who always make a face like O_O whenever they get their picture taken. Looking at some of the pictures that are taken, I would think that someone was taking their picture while aiming some sort of weapon in their direction.

That was the case for most of the past few months, especially in November when they were taken. I'd get like 3-4 hours of sleep per night, then go to Really Stressful Hated Job (TM) and that was the end result. :P

And I didn't think what you said was rude, since I've been asked that A LOT (and I wonder the same thing as well :P) ..there's usually something up with my pictures, either I look really tired, and occasionally I look like I'm angry beyond belief (because the webcam angers me from time to time).

DEATH TO THE WEBCAM!!

It's funny, I look absolutely stupid any time my husband takes my picture, but for anyone else I look fine...
