Dragon*Con!

THIS POST IS FOR:

- Anyone who is going to D*C this year (usual suspects, I am looking at you),
- Who has also seen A Very Potter Musical, AND/OR
- Has the basic elements of a Harry Potter costume lying about.
- Any of your friends you know who fit the above criteria that you would be so kind as to link here.

In short: inspired to new heights of adoration by the release of A Very Potter Sequel (YESSSSS), I am strongly considering putting together a Rumbleroar costume for D*C, complete with cardboard spacesuit cutout for people who want photos, and (possibly) a Pigfarts cape. And it's going to be TOTALLY AWESOME.

However! I feel that this endeavour would be both more hilarious and more recognisable with the addition of other AVPM cast members. Therefore, consider this an open call for anyone who might be interested in doing a super mega foxy awesome hot group cosplay. I know this is late in the game to be organising costuming efforts - but the very beauty of AVPM is that it is charmingly low-budget and pastede on. Don't believe me? See below for a couple of photo references, complete with breakdown of costume elements.


Draco, you little shit!
(The main co-conspirator I would be looking for, for obvious reasons.)

Costume elements:
- basic Slytherin uniform
- robe (academic gown)
- silly blond wig


I'm Harry Freakin' Potter!

Costume elements:
- basic Gryffindor uniform
- glasses, black curly wig
- if possible, guitar


DID SOMEONE SAY RON WEASLEY?

Costume elements:
- basic Gryffindor uniform
- lol orange wig, fuzzy blue headband
- packet of Redvines/large bag of chips/giant Hershey bar/whatever


Oh my god, shut up Hermione!

Costume elements:
- basic Gryffindor uniform
  (preferably with sleeveless vest, but enh.)
- That's it!


QUIRRELMORT.
(One of the slightly more complicated costumes, but also one of the most lolarious.)

Costume elements:
- Two people.
- Frankensteined robe big enough to fit two people for photos.
- Facepaint.
- Turban optional.


Ooh, ten points to Dumbledore!

Costume elements:
- Silly short beard.
- Silly wizard hat.
- Purple dressing gown.
- Cropped khaki pants and flipflops.
- Not shown: Wildcats jersey and BOSS Zefron poster.



Severus Snape will be in the drawing room, painting a picture of the stupid looks on your faces.
(Also one of the harder costumes - but one of the most recognisable.)

Costume elements:
- Dat Wig.
- Black gloves.
- Black button-down robe.
- Black cape.


So, uh. Yes. As I said, any of the above would be super mega foxy awesome hot to have along, and with the exception of Snape (and to a lesser extent, Quirrelmort), are kind of ridiculously easy to pull off. Plus you would be honouring what is in all probability the most epic thing Harry Potter fandom has ever created (and the most tailor-made for hilarious photo-ops!). THIS IS MY PUPPY-DOG FACE, imploring you to comment below if you are even passingly interested.

And now, since this has pretty much turned into a picspam post, have some gifs.









VOLDEMORT OUT, BITCHES.
