Becoming Oliver Wood -or- Can David Really Fly?

 Dave and his friends decided (or Dave got invited) to go to the first midnight showing of...
 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
All were assigned characters to portray.  (And I thought I had squeaked by costume making last minute madness at Halloween-- but oh no.)  On second thought I Had Scrambled for a couple of last minute costumes for Halloween.    Evidently Dave was worried for a minute too. 
 Dave went as Oliver Wood the Keeper on the Quidditch team.

Start with maroon clothes, after mucho searching of course!

Dye a robe, sew on lots gold trim, and make Hogworts crests out of felt.  (Good thing the "all things Harry Potter" expert had flown in from New York City.) Then rummage for shin guards and catcher's gear and a broom.




Now, put all that you have on the boy for the transformation!

Quidditch Anyone?
