How to Make a Remus Lupin Costume

As every Harry Potter fan knows, Remus Lupin is a werewolf, bitten by the loathsome Fenrir Greyback when he was a child. Remus is a gifted and extremely clever wizard. Although he is gentle, he has a mischievous streak that was obvious during his time at school. Remus is trustworthy, reliable, selfless, and an important member of the Order of the Phoenix.

Instructions

    • 1

      Find a light brown wig and spray in gray accents or do the same to already light brown hair. Make the hair slightly messy to add to the shabbiness of the costume.

    • 2

      Obtain some black robes. These should be tattered and worn-out-looking because Remus Lupin is known for looking disheveled. Attach some patches and fray the sleeves and hem of the robes to give them that messy look. Wear a tattered white long-sleeved dress shirt and a shabby black tie. The pants should be black and ragged.

    • 3

      Put some dark eye shadow under the eyes to give the illusion of tiredness. Remus Lupin also looks gaunt and wan. Add a few scratches to the hands and face because, as a werewolf, Remus would have many cuts. These can be added with makeup.

Tips & Warnings

  • To make this costume even more fun, get someone to dress up as Nymphadora Tonks.
