Behind the seams part two!
He who must not be named!
This beautiful costume was made from hand dyed French silk. A beautiful garment, lots of fabric but very light. Because the fabric is so light it has a habit of moving in a slight breeze so looks almost alive. An interesting fact that as the characters become weaker this is reflected in the colours of their clothing. Notice that Dumbledore goes from quite coloured attire to pale greys as Lord Voldemort become more powerful and more of a threat to Dumbledore's life! The opposite also happens when Dolores Umbridge gets more powerful her clothes becomes stronger colours of pink!
Up close and personal.
Harry Potter's Gryffindor school Robe.
Interesting fact, Tom Felton who played the part of the lovely Draco Malfoy had to have his inside wand pocket sewn up as he kept bring onto set lots of sticky sweets! Evidently though very generous to cast and crew with his sweets he kept leaving them in his Robe pocket causing the costume department a bit of a headache of sticky sweet residues! So his pockets where sewn up!
Harry Potters shirt
Interesting fact, the reason the shirt is so large is not because it belonged to the stunt man but because it was supposed to look like a hand me down garment from his cousin Dudley Dursley!
Harry Potter's trousers
Interesting fact, look closely again this trousers are a hand me down from cousin Dudley so they are too big for Harry. They are also extremely worn out which Harry, with some non matching thread, has tried to fix himself.
