Harry Potter

[Aquaman]

Looking for info, pictures, etc on making or buying accurate Quidditch adult costumes from HP. Anyone?

How accurate are you looking for? Movie accurate?

I may have some pics - I'll see if I can fish them out and pop them up on Flickr. (It may take a couple of days as I'm a bit busy getting voldemort ready for this weekend, but I'll post them up as soon as I can.)

In the mean time, check out a site called "Oclumencia" as they have a brilliant library of pics. (It's a Brazilian site and so until you get familiat with the layout you may want to run it through Google's translator from Portuguese to English. however, if you do that you won't be able to view the high res images, but once you're familiar, just make a not of the path to the image, and do it direct rather than using Google ) (I hope that makes sense)

Which version are you thinking of (as they changed a few times), and was there a particular character?

I dont often recommend stuff on ebay, but I seem to recall seing what was actually a pretty good recreation on there a little while back. I've just had a quick look and can't seem to see it there at the moment but I'm sure it will pop up again at some point as it was from a company as opposed to a "one off" if I remember rightly.

Also, I'd check out the behind the scenes programs as there's a fab one just on the various costumes, and I remember they mentioned the quidditch robes specifically in one of them.

I am looking to do the robe form Potters house. I know they changed them but something pretty accurate for an adult to wear.

Which film version though? If you look at the links above you'll see they've changed a lot over the years

i like the first pic version best.

I've bought Quidditch pads from this site years ago. They're really nice despite not actually being leather. She does great work.

Hiya,
Here's a link you may find handy. It's got some really nice pics of the 1st year (I think) quidditch robes:
