Hermione Granger – Harry Potter (POA-style Robes)

Made for: Dragoncon 2004

Background: My first Hermione costume was showing its age and needed updating, so I decided to go ahead and put together a new PoA style set of robes.

Journal Entries: Read more at my Hermione tag

Patterns Used: Simplicity 5840 (probably)

Cloak: The cloak is my old Hermione cloak from 2001, with a new patch, added hood, added clasp, and added the burgundy facing to the front panels. I also shortened it a bit. I’ve made a ton of Hogwarts robes for friends since this one – I really should remake my own properly one of these days! (But I think I’m going to end up making a Ravenclaw uniform eventually instead…)

Sweater/Tie: My sweater I bought from Hobbie’s House of Wizard Wear, and my tie I got from Wizard Ties. Unfortunately my sweater is starting to develop holes (as of 2020) so it’s mostly retired… time to upgrade to that Ravenclaw uniform…? LOL

Accessories: The skirt I bought at a school uniform site, and shortened it a tiny bit, and dyed it a hair darker). The tights, white shirt, and shoes I already had. My Mary Jane shoes broke at Dragoncon, so later I wore another pair of shoes I already had. My wand I bought somewhere online for my original 2001 Hermione costume.

History: These days I generally wear it as “Lily” instead of Hermione, but it’s stood up well over the years! It’s generally my go-to Halloween costume when I need something comfortable but recognizable.
