Hogwarts Uniform - Black Cloak and Robes
Harry buys his first-year uniform from Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. As a first-year, Harry has to have three sets of plain black work robes and a black winter cloak with silver fastenings. He also needs a black pointed hat and protective gloves.
For Christmas, Harry receives a special gift when Professor Dumbledore passes on Harry's father's Invisibility Cloak.
Here's an excuse to put your creative craft skills to use. Make a cool Harry Potter cloak...

Make a Harry Potter cloak
Use a piece of black sheeting and an equal sized sheet of the house-colour you wish to make the cloak for - red for Gryffindor; gold/yellow for Hufflepuff; blue for Ravenclaw; green for Slytherin.Sew three sides together inside out.
To make it quicker and easier to sew the final side, turn the right way out and sew the final side and glue or sew a black or matching coloured ribbon folded over the raw edge to hide it. This is the bottom edge.
Optional hood:
Sew two smaller squares of black and coloured fabric together.
Fold in half with the colour outside, and sew across the top.
Glue matching ribbon over the seam to hide it as this will show when the hood is down.
Glue or sew black ribbon around the outer raw edge of the hood to neaten it.
Attach the hood to the cloak and arrange so that the cloak has some slack at the shoulders.
Finishing off:
Sew four or five buttons down the front of the chest area and sew a corresponding loop of ribbon on the other side.
Glue or sew the appropriate house badge on the left side of the chest.
See the instructions here for all the Harry Potter accessories.
