Believe it or not, this is my daughter, Itty Bitty. Everyone thought she was a boy. To me this meant that the costume was a success. We bought one of those Harry Potter robes with the crest on the chest off the Internet and of course it was huge since they did not carry her size. I cut it off and hemmed it and sewed up the sides a little. I took some fleece and made the scarf. Simply make it by stitching contrasting colors together, sewing up the sides to make a tube and turn right side out, turn in the edges and stitch closed. We bought a tie and a boys dress shirt. Also bought some black sweat pants and cut them off on the bottom so they would be straight across. I did not even hem them but certainly you could use some hem tape to make it simple. The hair was hard. We could not find any harry potter wigs so we bought a witch wig and cut it shaggy. It turned out o.k. The glasses are readily available on ebay. Gotta have the glasses! Overall this costume came together and was a huge hit. She loves Harry Potter and everyone loved her in this costume. It was a cutie!
