Okay, this is for my daughter.  She just did finally finish reading the first book in the Harry Potter series, and  she has watched the movie about one and a half times.  I had her wait quite a while before I would let her be involved with Harry Potter mainly because she is only nine, and she has issues with nightmares and getting scared easily during movies.  She will soon be reading the second book.

Wholesale Costume Club Review--My Daughter is Hermione!

I have asked my daughter over the past few months what she would like to be for Halloween.  With her, you never know.  She has been everything from a pink poodle to Superwoman.  But we do like being prepared for Halloween--I do not like to wait until the last minute.


My daughter decided that she wanted to be Hermione from Harry Potter.  There is a story here.  I only recently allowed her to read the book (which she has not finished yet).  She can't watch the movie until she finishes the book.  But, of course, she fell in love with Hermione, and that was what she wanted to be.  So I agreed, and we began looking.


I am so glad that we got the chance to review a costume from  Wholesale Costume Club.com.  When I began to look at the site, I was amazed with the assortment of costumes they had!  They had everything imaginable for children as well as adults, and the prices were pretty fantastic too.  Maybe my daughter would be able to buy a ready-made costume this year--which I know is always fun.  Yes, it can be fun to make your own, but I think it can also be fun to buy the costume and add special touches to it yourself.


As my daughter looked at the costume choices, only one thing was on her mind--Hermione.  I will tell you that we did a search for that character specifically, and for some reason nothing came up.  But we didn't give up.  I did a search for Harry Potter costumes, and suddenly, there was the costume!

I ordered this immediately, and the costume arrived very quickly.  My daughter wanted to try it on the moment it arrived, and she was even ready to put it on before school.  I told her we would have to wait until the weekend.  The costume arrived wrapped in plastic, and although simple, this costume is very effective.

I love the attention to detail, and I am grateful that this size will still fit her in October.  I don't think my daughter wanted to take it off!  It is hanging in her closet, and come Halloween, she will be Hermione, courtesy of Wholesale Costume Club!

So don't forget about this great company for all of your costume needs.  You will not be sorry, I promise!  One stop shopping for costumes for the entire family!
