Dressing up as the beloved characters from J.K. Rowling’s iconic series, Harry Potter, has been a Halloween favorite since the release of the first book. If you and two of your friends want to recreate the magic of the famous trio – Harry, Hermione, and Ron – here are some inspired Halloween dress up ideas to make your spooky holiday unforgettable.
