Harry Potter Deluxe Slytherin Robe Child Costume, Large - 4.2 out of 5 stars from 16 customer reviews


Not good for July, better for Halloween
I wore this to the HP7 part 2 opening night and it was hot. The material is fleece and it gets super hot really fast. It would be awesome to have for Halloween, because Halloween night tends to be colder than a night in the middle of July.

The green on the inside is actually just two strips of fabric sewed in on one side only, and I thought they looked kind of dumb like that. I guess if you wanted to you could sew the other side down. There isn't a wand pocket, so I cut a tiny slit in the green part to fit my wand.

The Slytherin crest on the left side is like an iron on patch, so it is good quality, but when it's on the fleece it wants to curl itself up because the fleece isn't strong enough to hold it down. That wasn't a huge problem, just a tiny annoyance.

The little clasp-thing that is used to hold the robe on you is kind of complicated and difficult to use. Also, it comes off completely, so be sure you don't lose it!

Overall, I think...

Use for a Halloween Costume and LOVED IT!
It was warm, it was adorable and it was perfect for us! My sons went as Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy and these robes were perfect! They are easily washable as well. It came with a clasp to place on the robe to hold the top closed, however, we did not use it. If you've seen the movies, then you know that the official robes do not have any color on the inside of the hood. But I actually liked the green! It's obviously not an "official" Hogwart's robe, but it was definitely worth the money spent for my kid's costumes! They felt fantastic and we have amazing pictures to last us a lifetime!

Decent costume
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this robe was flannel (maybe I didn't read the description closely enough) and that the hood was pointed, like a wizard's hat.

On a negative note, I was also surprised to find that the inside of the robe was not fully lined; there is only about a 4-5 inch wide strip of green lining along each side of the opening. The hood is lined, which is nice, but for the price (which is rather expensive, considering it's just the robe with no accessories), they sure did skimp on some fabric.

Overall, a decent costume. It's a bummer it doesn't come with a tie or scarf, at least.
