The most popular literary and cinematographic saga of the 21st century still continues to fascinate us. Ten years after the last installment of "Harry Potter", how would the characters dress?
By Matthieu Bobard DeliereThose who have never seen a single film from the "Harry Potter" saga can be counted on the fingers of one hand. This shows the impact that the adventures of the young wizard had on popular culture. For almost fifteen years, the hero created by JK Rowling, assisted by his two faithful friends, has never ceased to fascinate us, trying to defeat the forces of evil answering to the name of Voldemort (yes, we can pronounce his name now) . The incredibly rich supernatural universe of "Harry Potter" continues to fascinate Potterheads - the fan community - to such an extent that a short film dedicated to the origins of the diabolical dark mage will be released very soon. If "Harry Potter" has, in appearance, nothing of a fashion film, we realize on closer inspection that the clothing style of each character has been studied at length. From the simple school uniform at Hogwarts to their ballroom outfits in the fourth volume of the saga, the silhouettes of the characters are very identifiable at first glance. The costume designers also worked a lot on the looks on screen, to transcribe the personalities of the heroes. If Hermione is often in blue in the books, in the films, the actress often wears pink, a color that distinguished her well in the Hogwarts sets. Voldemort's outfit, a fairly dark green, gets lighter as the Horcruxes are destroyed and he loses power. So, over twenty years later, how would Harry Potter and his friends (and foes) be dressed?
Harry Potter is the hero of the saga. A true mythical figure, the sorcerer's apprentice tries to discover the truth about the death of his parents while discovering the extent of his powers. Indeed, his parents James and Lilly were killed by Voldemort while they were trying to protect the young bespectacled wizard, still a baby. Voldemort wanted to get rid of Harry Potter from the cradle because a prophecy announces: "The chosen one or the Dark Lord must die by the hand of the other, one cannot live as long as the other survives". fact Harry Potter was predestined to have to fight Voldemort since his birth. We have known a more peaceful destiny… During eight films, Harry Potter will therefore live incredible adventures, will participate in the Goblet of Fire, will join the Order of the Phoenix and then finally will beat Voldemort. Who wins? Easy to guess. The silhouette of Harry Potter is one of the most legendary in cinema. Played brilliantly by Daniel Radcliffe, the wizard is distinguished by his neatly combed brown hair, his round glasses and his Gryffindor uniform. In 2021, the brave boy who became a man would keep his preppy retro / mystical side with this Hed Mayner coat and his little tie that he would wear in the colors of his school.

Hermione Granger is best friends with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Daughter of Muggles (that is to say, non-wizards), she is nevertheless one of the best students at Hogwarts. Diligent, intelligent and very perceptive, her great faculties in magic will often get the three friends out of trouble. Hermione is often singled out by worshipers of Slytherin and Voldemort for the "uncleanness of her blood". Indeed, she is even insulted with "Mudblood" by Draco Malfoy, which has the gift of making her angry. During her schooling, Hermione will let her feelings for Ron Weasley arise - not without difficulty - and these two will end up getting married and having two children, Rose and Hugo. Hermione is recognizable by her long strawberry blonde/red hair. Like the other students, she proudly wears the uniform and colors of Gryffindor. In 2021, having become Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger would obviously dress in a British brand, Molly Goddard, and would always cultivate her preppy style with this heather gray suit.
Ron Weasley is also friends with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. But unlike his two friends, he has always lived in the magical world because both of his parents are wizards. Ron also has five brothers and a sister, Ginny, who will become Harry Potter's wife as an adult. Ron is not very good at school, he often breaks his wand and his spells sometimes end in disaster. But his courage and his loyalty to his friends will make him a major ally during the epic of the young wizards. Ron Weasley's look is very particular. Coming from a family of limited means, he collects the clothes that his brothers wore before him and his mother loves to knit him socks and sweaters. The other students often make fun of him for his kitsch appearance. But in twenty years, the considered has-been style of Ron Weasley has gained recognition and taken the lead. In fact, this look has even become the new cool in fashion and is ripping off like hotcakes. In 2021, the young man would dress in his old-school mesh with the Gucci brand. What great progress.
Draco Malfoy is the anti-hero of the saga. He is Harry Potter's worst enemy at school and is feared by many students because of his very powerful wizarding family. Indeed, his father Lucius is close to Lord Voldemort. Draco is a gifted but very cocky and boastful student. He does not hesitate to challenge Harry Potter to prove to him that he is stronger than him. Growing up, Draco will have no choice but to join the ranks of He Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken. He will even go so far as to attempt to assassinate Albus Dumbledore, against his will, in order to prove his loyalty to the Dark Lord. Draco, just like Harry Potter, has a very remarkable look. An emblematic figure of the Slytherin stable, he sports peroxide blonde hair and a dark look. In 2021, the Hogwarts bad boy would wear the GMBH label with this magnificent asymmetrical black coat. Gorgeous.
Without a doubt, Bellatrix Lestrange is one of the most sadistic and iconic villains in the Harry Potter saga. Impossible not to love this psychopathic, dark and extravagant character. She is the cousin of Sirius Black and the aunt of Draco Malfoy, and was raised in a family attached to the values of blood purity. Bellatrix was thus conditioned from a young age to hate people outside the wizarding world. A loyal ally of Voldemort, she launches a violent attack for Neville Longbottom's parents after the Dark Lord goes missing. She will be judged and then imprisoned in the prison of Azkaban from which she will escape later. In a fierce battle at the Ministry of Magic, she kills her cousin Sirius Black and manages to evade the authorities with Voldemort. Later, she will also be responsible for the death of Dobby, the elf, whom she kills with her dagger. The most heartbreaking scene of the saga (yes, yes!). Bellatrix Lestrange's look reflects her personality: unstable and insane. The witch is always dressed in black, she wears leather corsets and long dark fabrics. Twenty years later, Bellatrix Lestrange would love to wear Andreas Kronthaler's exuberant designs for Vivienne Westwood. Yes, we can imagine her perfectly laughing like crazy in this dress.
Dolores Umbridge is an undersecretary at the Ministry of Magic. When the going gets tough, the Ministry will want to interfere in Hogwarts affairs and will therefore send Dolores Umbridge to rule the law as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. She will then be ready to silence Harry Potter by all means, he who warns of the imminent return of Voldemort. Illegal, evil means and even torture. It will also prevent students from learning Defense Against the Dark Arts spells. She will end up kidnapped by the centaurs after threatening Harry and his friends. An absolute fan of pink, kittens and English crockery, Dolores Ombrage perfectly embodies old-fashioned British chic. This true despot never takes off his pink tweed outfits enhanced by a very rigid folding. In 2021, Dolores Ombrage would obviously love the creations of the House of Chanel, full of elegance as she likes.
Lord Voldemort is one of the greatest villains in history. Initially, his name was Tom Elvis Riddle, which is an anagram for his dangerous wizard alias. The latter's mother died in childbirth after giving birth to him, so Riddle grew up in an orphanage. He is the heir of Salazar Slytherin, the co-founder of Hogwarts. After having lived ten years in an orphanage, he is then taken to Hogwarts by Albus Dumbledore but he already shows slyness and an unhealthy aura. Upon learning that his father is just a simple Muggle, Tom Riddle begins to fly into a mad rage. It was at this time that he changed his name, so as not to wear the same as his father. A few years after leaving Hogwarts, Voldermort begins his ascent and surrounds himself with an army of followers, the “Death Eaters”. He will reign terror, kill all those who stand in his way as well as the "unclean bloods". But his downfall is announced when a prophecy explains that a chosen one has the power to defeat the lord of darkness. The rest, we almost all know it: he can't kill Harry Potter in the cradle and his fate turns against him. Later, he manages to reincarnate thanks to the Horcruxes. Voldemort is a very ugly character, it must be said. Having her soul split with Horcruxes robbed her of her beauty and gave her a monster/snake appearance. Like any self-respecting black mage, he is dressed in black. In 2021, he will abandon his iconic cape for a long luxurious black Louis Vuitton branded coat that trails on the floor and a black suit. Machiavellian chic.
