As usual when it comes to researching her cosplay, Emma studied the movie costumes in detail. After all, the key to nailing a good cosplay is in the details. I want to dress up as Bellatrix Lestrange”– It was decided, I’d be making Emma a Bellatrix costume for Comic-Con this year. After cosplaying Luna Lovegood last year for Comic-Con, this year she chose a much darker character – Bellatrix Lestrange. I’ll be sharing the full Bellatrix Lestrange costume DIY next week, including how to make a leather corset and how to style a Bellatrix wig.

Grey polymer clay is ideal as it only requires minimal embellishment to achieve the look of metal, but you can use any other colour. You’ll just need to paint it grey. In the Harry Potter books and movies, Bellatrix is a fanatical Death Eater that is quite unhinged, especially after a long stint in Azkaban prison. Molly Weasley: Molly Weasley is a loving and fiercely protective mother, a skilled witch, and a nurturing figure within the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
