A Harry Potter theme is shaping up to be a fashionable trend for Halloween in 2007. One of the choices of a Harry Potter Halloween costume appears among the top best sellers in Amazon's Apparel department two weeks out from Halloween, indicating the demand to be seen dressed as a character from the Harry Potter books is running hot this year. With the last book in the Harry Potter series recently published, Harry Potter is top of mind for a generation of teenagers who have grown up reading the books as they have been progressively released.

Harry Potter costumes are not that difficult to put together. A formal school look or a gown will do the trick if you have or can make a few signature accessories: the striped English school tie, scarf, wand, round black glasses, and the like, that make up the Harry Potter look. Most of these costumes and accessories are readily available if you search through costume suppliers' catalogues.

And don't forget some face painting for the famous Harry Potter scar.
