The Moon has awoken 

with the sleep of the sun,

The Light has been broken;

the spell has begun.

I wish I could say that this Fleur Delacoeur costume from Harry Potter was my idea, but I just happened to see it on Poshmark or somewhere and since I hadn't put together anything for this Halloween yet and I already had the skirt, blouse, shoes, and tights, I thought this would be the perfect costume.  Plus it's in keeping with my unintentional theme the last couple of years of Literary Ladies in Blue (i.e. Miss Peregrine and Alice in Wonderland).

There weren't many reference photos out there, so I could see how the costume ends, below the waist and in the end, I had to rely on a Fleur Delacoeur Barbie doll photo to help me figure out what shoes and tights to use.  I had to purchase the hat and decided not to splurge on the wand as well.  Since I'll only be wearing this outfit one day, I think a regular old stick will suffice as a wand.

I have to confess that I've never read any of the Harry Potter books or seen any of the movies except the first.  I went to see the first movie because I was living in England at the time and all my friends were going crazy to see it, so I went along.  It was enjoyable and I like the idea behind the franchise, it's just something I've never made time to read or watch.

 Since choosing this costume though, I'm having a change of heart.  It's funny how just this one somewhat obscure character could entice me to a whole series, a whole world really, but maybe it's time I made time for Mr. Potter.
