I've just finished up a commission for Death Eater Mask. This one is sold but I still have the mold, and casts are pretty quick. Any of your cosplayers Death Eaters?

Also here is a nice shot of Voldemort's OOTP costume from an exhibition.

Pete, Do you have more pics of the death eater costumes from that exhibit? I've been searching for detailed photos for a while and I haven't come up with much. Thanks!

 

[joker1]

thanks, that's a great help! pete, how much would one of your death eater masks be? i live in the UK and was wondering how much it would cost in £s.

thanks again, this is the sort of help we need!

 

[joker1]

now that i think of it, i believe there was someone here who makes wooden wands...a pastor jedi? what are his prices like? has anyone bought from him? if so would they be so kind as to give a quick post here with pictures if possible? thanks again, guys!

I havent got any more shots I'm afraid, I do have this one in a much higher resolution though, but I can't upload it anywhere at full size, if you PM me your email address I should be able to shoot it over to you. I found this shot on Flikr before Christmas, I tried to find the link again but it looks like the uploader has removed the high res versions.

joker1, I'm in the UK too so no worries there! I'll PM you with some more info.

If you're still needing Voldemort's wand, try Noble Collection. They have some great prop replicas from the movies.

 

[joker1]

hey, thanks pete. unfortunatley, we have no death eaters at the moment! but your mask looks incredible! thanks for the PM.

aheart4art, i do know of the noble collection wands, but from what i've read on here in previous threads...they're not too good. :/ i'll try to find a wooden or other type of material voldemort wand (any help would be appreciated!), but i'll use noble collection as a last resort.

That is one awesome death eater mask! I want one!! Alivan's have some wicked wands on their site. They have not only wands but a broom section made for Quidditch too. Now if I could only get my hands on a Death Eater costume w/mask and a wand, I would be ready for the next movie!

This site seems to have one of the better collections of hi-res photos:

Harry Potter photos

Scroll down to each film and click "Fotos oficiais" - official photos - and just start searching. Hope this helps.

I've actually made my own Hogwarts Uniform

Here are some pics:

I made all the robes myself based on references I found around the web and from pictures from friends who went to see the costume exhibitions (can't remember where those were...?)

The pullover is from the same company who made the original pullovers and knitwear for the films Lochaven of Scotland. They do the pullovers, cardigans and the vests in all the different colours and adult and children sizes.

I also have been commisioned in the past to sew robes and here's a better example of the up close and detailed work I did on one set for a fellow costumer Jedi Robes and Hogwarts robes seem to be what I do most - lol

The badge is a little too large to be acurate, but it is literally the best out there atm. They are from Patch Palace and the seller can be found if you pop "Patch palace" into a search engine.
The robes are correctly lined with red at the edges, in the hood and the sleeves and black elsewhere

Have not made any other robes other than Gryffindor thus far, but Slytherin ones for myself are on my list as my next Hogwarts Uniform when I have finished my Aayla and Ventress Star Wars cossies

If you need any reference information or sites for Uniforms just drop me a pm!! I have loads of stuff on my desktop at home still

Oh, I forgot to add:

I also have a custom wooden wand from an ebay seller, again, just drop me a pm and I will dig out the link.

My mum has also handknitted me a accurate scarf which I also offer in part of my commision work

here's a pic, excuse the confused look on my face!!

 

[joker1]

hey, jedifran! thankyou sooooooooo much for the link to the screen used sweaters, i'm sure my cosplay group will be happy with this new information.

PM sent for more details.

this is really great you guys! keep the info coming!

Here's a pic of me as Ron.

and of course the yuleball dance practice

Pete, I don't normally visit the costuming section, but DAMN that Death Eater mask is scrumptious.

 

[aheart4art]

hey, thanks pete. unfortunatley, we have no death eaters at the moment! but your mask looks incredible! thanks for the PM.

aheart4art, i do know of the noble collection wands, but from what i've read on here in previous threads...they're not too good. :/ i'll try to find a wooden or other type of material voldemort wand (any help would be appreciated!), but i'll use noble collection as a last resort.

Oops, didn't mean to recommend an apparently crappy wand to you. I assumed that they were the same quality of some of the other things I've gotten there in the past. I should have done a little more research, huh?

Well, I'm gonna go sit over there in my little n00b corner now and shut up. Good luck with your project!

 

[joker1]

aheartforart, i didn't mean to come across as being forceful or however you interpreted my message, i was acknowlaging your statement, wasn't i? i was merely saying that after doing a bit of research i found that other people have been somewhat dissapointed with the noble collection wands. don't get me wrong, they look amazing and i would love to own a few - but i need wands that are gonna be sturdy enough for cosplayng. so please don't sit in the "n00b corner", because i need enthusiastic people like yourself to help me and my fellow cosplayers. so thanyou for the suggestion, i'll keep the noble collection wands in mind.

This is a great forum, lots of inspiration! I am addicted to building wooden wands for myself ( my own collection), but I could possibly build more. Heres what I'm working on (I also started another thread showing my Trixie wand from a commission I just finished).

 

[joker1]

HeirofOlivander, your wands look impressive! would you be able to post a few more pictures please? do you have any other wooden wands? because i'd be interested in seeing Voldemort and Hermione's wands. i'll PM you with more questions.

this is great guys, keep the info coming!
