Halloween is just around the corner, and families with young children are already thinking about costumes. Some will reuse last year’s outfit, if it survives the dressing room chaos, while others will opt for something new and exciting. Classic favorites like skeletons, vampires, mummies, and witches still captivate, but many kids prefer dressing as their own heroes, whether that means a favorite superhero or a beloved Disney character.
For those who fall into the latter group and have a budding Potterhead in the house, there’s good news. The Harry Potter universe is back in the spotlight with costumes that capture the magic. At H&M, a Harry Potter costume and a Hermione Granger costume are available, offering an easy way to transform little ones into Hogwarts students for the big night.
The Harry Potter costume includes a cloak, a tie, and a wand, creating the unmistakable silhouette of a student ready to learn at Hogwarts. The cloak is black with a red lining, featuring a pointed hood, long trumpet sleeves, and a full-length zipper at the neckline for simple dressing. The tie is dyed in Gryffindor colors—red and gold—and arrives pre-tied at the back, ensuring a snug, authentic look. A plastic magic wand, about 34 centimeters in length, completes the ensemble and makes playtime afterward just as magical as trick-or-treating.
Harry Potter and Hermione costumes from H&M
Sizes range from ages 3 to 8 years on the web, with current availability extending to 8–10 and 10–12 years. The price listed is €24.99. For families who want Hermione’s costume, there is also a suitable option: Hermione’s version mirrors the Gryffindor uniform with a dress that has long sleeves and a pointed hood. It features trumpet cuffs and includes a skirt, sweater, tie, and cape to evoke the look of the famous friend of Harry Potter. In this case, the only size not in stock is the 3–4 year range, and the price is €14.99.
More Halloween costumes at H&M
If families want alternatives to dress their children for Halloween parties, there are other easy pieces available. For the youngest children, a bat-wing vest makes a simple, charming option. Other choices include a zombie dress set, listed at €22.99, a witch outfit that includes a dress and hat for around €19.99, a classic skeleton costume at €24.99, or a sleek black cloak with accessory motifs like bats, moons, and stars in gold for €19.99. These pieces provide a quick way to assemble a coordinated, festive look without needing extensive shopping or sewing.
For parents who prefer to mix and match, several accessories and separate garments can help create a unified theme across siblings. A simple cape, a printed wand, or a striped tie can tie different outfits together without sticking to a single character. The overall aim is to offer comfortable, easy-to-wear costumes that kids enjoy wearing all night, while still looking like the characters they love on screen or in books. With the right pieces, a family can create a memorable Halloween moment that feels personal and fun rather than stressful.
As the holiday approaches, shoppers are encouraged to check the latest online stock and sizes, as availability can change quickly. The suggested price points provide a sense of budgeting for a complete look that includes the essential elements: a costume top, a matching accessory, and a finishing touch such as a wand or hat. The magic of Halloween comes alive when imagination leads the way and outfits help children act out the stories they adore, turning a night of treats into a lasting memory for the whole family.
