4.0 out of 5 stars
Real cute on Little Harry Potters, August 21, 2003
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Harry Potter Dress Up Boxed Set (Toy)
I bought this costume for my son for his second birthday party, which had a Harry Potter theme. (See my "How To" guide for organising an unforgettable Harry Potter party in the "So you'd like to ..." section) The one I got came with a fancy clasp to hold the front of the cape together. It was a little big, so I had to hem it and roll up the sleeves. Even after hard wear and much abuse at the party it washed well, and looks like new. He will probably still have this costume when Books 6 and 7 come out. The wand is realistic, but with young children you have to watch out for them hitting other children with it, as it's pretty solid. The glasses are also very authentic looking, and fits all faces (mine included). Again you have to be careful with younger children as it tends to slide off little noses, and the glass might break. I haven't had any problems with it mind you, but it could happen. The lenses get dirty quickly also. The transfers are a very nice touch, and they go on easily with a little water. Even squirmy kids can be decorated without too much fuss. They last a couple of days if you don't scrub them too hard in the bath. I removed my son's own, because it was so realistic that people kept coming up to me asking if he had fallen and hurt his forehead. (Muggles no doubt!) A great buy for your little Harry Potter

This was a great find for my 6 yr old son. He loves Harry Potter and was thrilled with the robe, wand, glasses and stickers. The robe was a nice soft material, not that itchy stuff that costumes are usually made of. The glasses were made with real glass and metal, not cheap plastic. The wand is plastic, but still pretty durable. My son wore the scar tattoo and was thrilled he was "just like Harry Potter". The costume came in a nice box, and for $13.88 was a great deal! My kids are still playing with it even after Halloween.

OVERALL A DISAPPOINTMENT, September 25, 2002
= Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Harry Potter Dress Up Boxed Set (Toy)
Wow, is the packaging fancy on this costume. But looks are very deceiving! I gave this 5 stars for fun because, my son will be able to enjoy the wand and glasses for more than a day. This toy/costume has NO educational value, (I wish there were a "0" star rating.) I gave this only 2 stars for durability because this robe/cape is cheaply made, thin and runs very small. It says will fit 12/14, but will probably only fit a 10/12 at best. It says machine washable, but I WILL NOT wash it for fear of shrinkage. The material WILL run very quickly, and I know the first time he brushes up against a branch or bush on Halloween, it will be full of snags....
