Easy No-Sew Harry Potter Costume Part 1: Sweater, Shirt, & Tie

This Harry Potter costume is pretty quick to put together. A lot of pieces needed can be picked up at your local 2nd-hand shop (which makes it an eco-friendly and inexpensive costume as well), and the rest can be very easily made. There is almost no sewing involved (just a tiny bit for the robe closure), so it's easy enough for kids to make themselves.
