    Well I just got some perfect red fabric, but it's more maroon, and I was thinking about making a Quidditch cloak, does anyone who made this costume know a good pattern to use? Thanks! :)

    Anybody know how to make a really, really, good/authentic POA robe? Do you have a good pattern. I've already got a skirt, sweater, tie, shirt, and scarf and it would really complete my Halloween costume/costume for the skits I'm going to send in to Warner Bros.

    I'm sorry if I annoyed anybody with my actress dreams and pleas for help. Sorry, but I can't help it.

    Pray for me

    I'd suggest reading old posts at http://www.livejournal.com/community/hp_costuming or at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MadameMalkins. They're both dedicated solely to Harry Potter costuming, so you're likely to get far more detailed answers than here, where the emphasis is more on Star Wars.

    Thanks, but when I clicked on those links, the Madam Malkins one didn't work, and the other one had nothing about robes. Oh, well, I'll keep looking.

    Pray for me!!

    Take out the period at the end of MadameMalkins, and that'll fix the link.

    For the livejournal one, you're going to have to read back through past entries. Every few weeks or so there's a discussion about robes/fabric/etc. There are a lot of posts to dig through, but a lot of information as well.

    Hockeychick, there is a guy who made mine for me and it's awesome. I'm not sure if he's still making them, so if you want his contact info, I can give it to you via PM. Let me know if you need it!

    Just to add that I'm yet to hear anyone who had replicate the hood on the PoA one accurately so full authenticity will be difficult to achieve. :_|

    And as always, never trust the Official Costumes Replicas from WB or COSPA. I think I had seen one in person and it's shiny (aka they used Satin for the lining). :(

    Well I finished my Slytherin Quidditch robe today just in time since I'm flying down to Dragon Con tomorrow morning. I think it looks really good actually. I'll have pics on Monday, when I return, of the full costume.

    hey everyone, I have a quick question. I'm doing research to make a Death Eater costume and need help on one detail. I know that they all wear masks under their hoods, but what color are the masks? I have yet to find one place in the books to referance a color.

    Any help would be most appreciated!

    Are you sure that they are black? See, I ask this also partially because I was set to making my costume as I thought it was (I thought that they were white) until my friend argued that they were black. Since then, I've found that a good many people are completly divided or torn between black and white.

    Do you know where it would have said so in the books? (We've combed through 4 and 5 with a fine tooth comb, but if anyone knows of some sort of referance to back up black (or white) that'd be great!

    And thank you, Bella, for your response :)

    I thought they were bloody red, but I dunno where I got that idea. I'll check, but I'd say if you can't find an answer, go with whatever you want. Black sounds fine.

    I really think that they're black, for some reason. Go to mugglenet.com and join their boards over there. Someone can give you a definite answer.....although I really believe they're black.

    I honestly think that their black that way with the shadow of their hood, all you would be able to see is the glint of their eye. I'm not positive though, I always thought they were white but now that I think about it, black makes sense too.

    Pray for me!!

    Ok gang, I need some help. I'm looking for full length pics of the Fat Lady from the Gryffindor Door. I've been searching my fingers off, and can find very very few. Any ideas?

    Do you mean the one from Sorcerer's Stone or the one from Prisoner of Azkaban? I'm pretty sure they're very different. I believe I have scans and caps of the Sorcerer's Stone one, but they'll be on my home comp, so I'll post them later today.

    They are both different. I can try to screen capture the one from Sorcerer's Stone, I just have to abduct my boyfriend's laptop to do it.

    It's two different actress, since it's supposed to be the same lady in the pink dress, the dress should stay the same, which is what I'm after. I've found a few SS pics online, but I've found NONE from POA. And I honestly don't recall the recent movie enough to know if she wears the same dress. I'd have to see the POA dress again to note if there is a difference and then choose which one I want to do.

    So the short answer to the question is: any and all pictures. :)

    I think I remember the dress being different, too. But then again, I would have sworn I had a pic of Elizabeth in the outfit, and I don't. But I can cap it too if Bella can't steal the laptop ;) Just let me know.
