Rubeus Hagrid
Warner Brothers

You should dress as: Rubeus Hagrid!

Purely because everyone is going to dress as Harry Potter or Hermione Granger. Stand out from the crowd by going as the 8 foot grounds keeper at Hogwarts. (You may need stilts. And a beard).

Tracy Beaker

You should dress as: Tracy Beaker!

A pretty easy costume to get. You'll just need a hairstyle that looks like a crow's nest - though make sure you remove the crow first.

Captain Underpants

You should dress as: Captain Underpants!

You'll need a red cape and some (clean) underpants. You might want to wear a t-shirt and shoes in case it's cold, though.
