Remus Lupin Costume Guide

Dress like Remus Lupin from Harry Potter with a tweed suit, mustache, scar kit, and wand.

ABOUT REMUS LUPIN:

Remus Lupin becomes a significant character at Hogwarts once he takes over the position as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher during “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”. He is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organization founded by Albus Dumbledore to fight the growing influence of Lord Voldemort and his Deather Eaters.

As a Lycan (werewolf) much of Professor Lupin’s life is shaped by his affliction and the persecution he faces as a result. That doesn’t stop him from being a brave and noble character, steadfast in his resolve against the Dark Arts.

How To Dress Like Remus Lupin

1. JACKET – Remus Lupin might not be the most stylish man in the wizarding world but we can’t fault him for this old-school tweed jacket. Could he look like more of a professor if he tried?

2. TROUSERS – Add a matching pair of tweed pants and your Remus Lupin costume is already starting to take shape.

3. FAKE MUSTACHE – Can’t grow a regal mustache like Lupin’s? Then we highly recommend this quality fake chevron ‘tash.

4. SHIRT – Not a lover of bold covers, Lupin wears a matching brown dress shirt to go with his tweed suit.

5. TIE – Similarly, a coffee-brown tie rounds out this monotone professor look.

6. WAND – This beautifully designed wand is an inexpensive option that looks very similar to the one wielded by Lupin.

7. SCAR SET – As a Lycan, Professor Lupin wears the battle scars of his difficult life literally on his face. Whether you’re good with cosmetics or not, this fake scar kit makes adding those iconic cuts a breeze!
