RubiesRubie's Deluxe Harry Potter Costume

We saw similar robes at Universal Studios when we went to visit the Harry Potter attractions and my daughter begged for one, but when we saw the $100+ pricetag I kind of backed off and got her a wand instead. But I promised her when we got home that I would get her a Happy Potter robe and have been researching them ever since. I decided on this one since it's made from a fabric similar to Polartec (not that horrible nylon that graduation gowns are made of) and comes with the maroon color touches.First off: sizing- my daughter is (almost) nine, a little petite for her age, and I went ahead and ordered the Large thinking she could grow into it. It's a bit big on her (mostly long) but she LOVES the way it billows out behind her when she walks.The quality is fair, but excellent for a costume. It's a mid-weight polarfleece material. Some of the edges of the costume are a little rough and not hemmed, and the maroon color around the edges is just a simple, thin piece of fabric sewn in as opposed to a full lining, but this is a REALLY nice item for the price. Even the patch is heavy-dut and embroidered and sewn on thoroughly.Overall, this was a big hit. I'm very happy with my purchase, but my daughter is even happier. Since the robe arrived, she hasn't really taken it off- whenever she's home, it's on. That's a pretty winning endorsement.

We love this costume and have already used it for several occasions since it was purchased. We made the original purchase for our son to wear to a Harry Potter themed charity event in September 2016 when he was 7 years old (thin and average height). After reading through other reviews we decided to go with the size large so it would be something he could use for a longer period of time. It was a little long on him, but a couple of safety pins at the bottom made that a simple fix! Otherwise, the size large was a great fit and felt like a wonderful value knowing he'd be able to get plenty of use out of it for a few years to come. It has been worn for trick-or-treating, themed school days, and once again in January 2018 for the second themed charity event. This year at age 8 1/2 he can now wear it without the pins at the bottom and I would guess that he still has plenty of room for at least another year or two. The costume has held up well and we have had no issues at all with the quality. Very pleased with our purchase and I would definitely buy it again when we finally need a larger size!

INCREDIBLE QUALITY!!!! This is made of a thick warm felt, and the patch is indeed embroidered! The clasps appear just fine, although I know others complained they were cheap and break easily, I assume they will probably break throughout my son's day at school...I wish the entire robe was lined with the red fabric (it is actually just a 3" wide strip of red fabric along either edge, and of course lining the hood). The local Halloween stores wanted $30 for the cheaper version, and even after shipping this was only about $28 for me.My main concern was warmth for my son while Trick-or-Treating, and I think layered with the long sleeved white shirt and a gray sweater (from home, not included) this should keep him warm in Michigan. That being said, I think it would be miserably hot if we lived in Florida. It's about as heavy as a decent sweatshirt.My son is pretty tall for 9, wears a 14Husky usually, this fit him pretty good, just barely closes in the front.

I'm glad I picked this one out, as it is a heavier, softer robe with a velour feel to it (like those inexpensive kids bathrobes) that can be used well after halloween. I purchased the LARGE for my 10-year old and it's a good fit, a little oversized. He's always complaining of a chill, so I'm sure this will get lots of use before it gets passed down to his little brother. This is the first time he is going to be Harry Potter for Halloween; what took him so long? It only comes with a clip. We had to order the glasses and tie separately and now he wants a grey V neck sweater! If he's cold, he can wear mine! I think, however, this will be more than cozy enough for the evening, with a white shirt under it.

Thought for sure I would get the imposter, (Murpheys law rarely escapes me). I was happy to see it was just as described. The clasp is flimsy. I broke it trying to figure it out, (instructions would have been helpful- but superglue saved the day), but my daughter loves it. It was warm on Halloween and I am very pleased. Pricey- but at least it was the true deluxe, and the rushed shipping didn't help my wallet- but that's not their fault... The seams are not clean, the quality could be better for the price, but I ordered at a bad time and am thankful I got the better of the 2 that were being sold as the same, (the imposter I've read was a flat out rip-off). I researched the manufacture # to the sellers descriptions and crossed my fingers.. Embroidered crest was not helpful, as they all said that... It was embroidered, but not embroidered to the felt. Glued or sewed... Anyhow, we like it, and she still wears it... And it's still in relatively good shape and I've washed it many times already, and my daughter plays hard :) nothing is gently used around here...

I am a librarian and wore this a few times for Halloween. It's perfect for occasional Harry Potter dress up times. It was a nice quality product and I really looked like Harry Potter! As far as the clip people talk about, honestly, I preferred it without that. I didn't even use it, but if you want to close it, a safety pin would be fine. It would have hidden my Gryffindor sweater and tie to close it. The only cons are the inside lining does need to be ironed and if you have a pet, be prepared to pull the hair off of it because it all sticks! The hood is kind if big and pointy, but I personally thought that was cute! It's fleece, but I felt like it was a good quality product, especially for the price. The house emblem is sharp. I will use it for years. Fast shipping, as ordered, on time. Packaged well. I'm a 5'2" adult, and it was a good length for me.
