The first and last outfits of 36 'Harry Potter' characters

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

As the first character to appear on screen in the entire film series, Dumbledore (Richard Harris) gives viewers the first idea of what wizards look like.

The old headmaster has a very distinct look, with his long, white beard and hair, purple hat and robes, and half-moon glasses.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) still wears traditional wizard robes in his final appearance on screen, but he looks quite different — and not only because the actor who played him changed.

When the late Hogwarts headmaster comes to Harry in a vision as the young wizard thinks he's dying, Dumbledore is wearing billowing light-colored robes, and his hair and beard are still flowing freely.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Technically, the professor is first shown on screen in her Animagus form as a cat.

But after Dumbledore greets her, Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) changes into her human form and wears a long, dark cloak and black witch's hat.

We see her wear some version of this outfit, along with her glasses, throughout the series.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

McGonagall is last shown fighting alongside the students and teachers in the Battle of Hogwarts.

She wears another black outfit during the battle. But this one is more tailored and features pointed shoulders and cape-like sleeves.

Though McGonagall does wear her hat and glasses at various points throughout the series, she isn't wearing either of them with her last outfit.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) is first shown flying on Sirius Black's motorcycle.

After he lands, we get a better view of his outfit, which features motorcycle goggles and his massive coat.

The coat, which is similar to the one he's described as wearing in the books, returns multiple times throughout the series.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Hagrid wears layers of brown and tan clothing during the Battle of Hogwarts.

He's last shown in a brown jacket over a lighter shirt with his long, matted hair and beard.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Aunt Petunia (Fiona Shaw) is first seen knocking on the door to Harry's cupboard under the stairs wearing pearls, a pink sweater, and a dark skirt with a patterned apron over the outfit.

Her hair is also neatly coiffed, and her whole look sets the tone for her stern and traditional character.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"

For her last appearance, Aunt Petunia wears a patterned A-line dress with a solid green jacket on top.

In the movie's theatrical cut, her outfit can only be seen briefly as she's getting into Vernon's car.

But the extended edition of the scene shows her full outfit as she talks to Harry in the empty living room.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Technically, the titular character's first appearance is as an infant being dropped off on the Dursley's porch.

But the first time we see 11-year-old Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), he's waking up in his bed in the cupboard under the stairs.

Harry wears an oversized, wrinkled shirt and pajama pants along with his iconic round glasses.

His clothes seem too large for him, which makes sense since the book describes him as wearing Dudley's hand-me-downs.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

By the epilogue scene of the final movie, Harry has grown up and has children who are going off to Hogwarts.

When he drops them off at Platform 9 3/4, he wears jeans, a blue button-up shirt, and a dark jacket.

This properly fitted look contrasts greatly with the rumbled hand-me-downs Harry wore as his first outfit.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

The Dursleys spoil Dudley (Harry Melling) and neglect Harry throughout the series.

In his very first appearance, Dudley is shown wearing boots, khakis, and an argyle sweater over a blue collared shirt, all of which look new and expensive.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"

Dudley is last shown leaving Privet Drive with his parents wearing a thin, colorful jacket over a solid green shirt and jeans.

These clothes look far more casual than the ones he wore in earlier films, and he's shown behaving more cordially to Harry as well.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Uncle Vernon (Richard Griffiths) wears normal, tailored clothing throughout the series, just like his wife.

His first outfit includes a button-up shirt, vest, and tie along with dark pants.

When he leaves the house shortly after he's introduced, he also throws on a tan jacket and a gray cap.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"

By his last appearance, Vernon's style hasn't changed much at all.

He again wears a button-up shirt, vest, and tie with dark pants. And he even appears to be wearing the same tan jacket.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Molly Weasley (Julie Walters) is the first adult witch shown wearing Muggle clothing.

As she drops her children off for the Hogwarts Express, she dons a striped cardigan over a collared shirt and gray vest with a long skirt.

She accessorizes the outfit with Mary Jane shoes, a green beret, and a sensible purse.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Molly wears another layered look for her last appearance, but this one is much darker.

She's last seen during the Battle of Hogwarts wearing a dark, striped dress cinched with a belt under a brown cardigan.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Ginny (Bonnie Wright) wears a bright outfit when she's first shown on Platform 9 3/4.

She has on a striped purple-and-pink cardigan over a red, polka-dot skirt. Like her mom, she's also wearing tights and Mary Jane shoes.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

By the series' end, Ginny has transformed from a child to a powerful witch and mother.

She wears dark colors for her last outfit, which contrasts strongly with the bright colors she wore in the first movie.

Her outfit includes a patterned blouse, a gray leather jacket, jeans, and tall boots.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Percy (Chris Rankin) is first shown at Platform 9 3/4 with his family wearing a pair of khaki slacks and a tan sweater.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Throughout most of the earlier films, Percy is shown in his Hogwarts uniform.

But in his final scene during the Battle of Hogwarts, he's wearing a dark suit with a gray tie.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Fred (James Phelps) wears the same outfit as George in their first scene on platform 9 3/4, a blue-ish turtleneck sweater and brown pants.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Throughout the films, Fred and George continue to coordinate their outfits, including after they leave Hogwarts and open up Weasley's Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley.

Their outfits become more extravagant as the joke shop takes off.

Fred's last outfit of the series is a dark, checked jacket over a tan turtleneck.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

George (Oliver Phelps) is first shown wearing the exact same outfit as his twin, a blue-ish sweater and brown pants.

He uses their identical outfit and looks to trick his mother into thinking he's Fred, showing off his mischievous sense of humor from his very first line.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

George wears his final outfit — a purple, checked jacket over a tan turtleneck — for his last scene with Fred.

And he continues to wear it as he fights alongside his family after his twin's tragic death.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

As the youngest brother in his family, Ron (Rupert Grint) is described as wearing plenty of hand-me-downs in the books.

The navy sweater and olive jacket he wears in his first movie scene seem to follow this trend because they don't appear to fit him quite right.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

During the epilogue scene, Ron is last shown wearing a brown jacket over a striped button-up shirt.

The Muggle outfit looks similar to what his dad, Arthur, wore for some of his early scenes.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Hermoine (Emma Watson) first meets Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express.

Though they haven't arrived at the school yet, she's already wearing her Hogwarts uniform and robe, complete with the standard school tie.

This is the first time viewers see the Hogwarts uniform.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

In the final epilogue scene, Hermoine is shown dropping off her kids at Platform 9 3/4 wearing a fashionable gray jacket over a patterned blouse.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

At the beginning of the series, Neville (Matthew Lewis) is a short, round-faced boy.

Like Hermione, his first outfit is also the Hogwarts uniform.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

By the end of the series, Neville has become a brave, talented wizard.

He's last shown wearing dark jeans and a patterned cardigan over a partially unbuttoned shirt during the Battle of Hogwarts.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Draco's (Tom Felton) first outfit can be seen when he introduces himself to Harry before the Sorting Ceremony.

He's wearing the Hogwarts uniform, but since he hasn't been sorted yet, he isn't wearing the green Slytherin tie with it.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Like many of the other characters, Draco's last appearance is at platform 9 3/4 during the epilogue scene.

He wears an expensive-looking dark suit with a blue shirt and tie.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Argus Filch's (David Bradley) clothes add to his unfriendly appearance.

He's usually shown in somewhat formal clothing — like the vest and jacket he wears for his first scene — that's wrinkled and worn.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

In his last scene, Filch is shown holding his beloved cat, Mrs. Norris.

He's wearing a button-up shirt and tie under what appears to be the same long, brown coat from his first outfit.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Snape (Alan Rickman) wears the same style of clothing throughout the film series.

He's first shown wearing a black set of robes over a white, long-sleeved shirt.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Snape's last look is nearly identical to his first outfit.

He's wearing a high-collared, white shirt under a set of black robes.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Oliver Wood (Sean Biggerstaff) is first shown wearing his Hogwarts uniform with a Gryffindor tie.

He also has a patch and pin on his robes that likely indicate he's the Gryffindor quidditch captain.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Like many other Hogwarts graduates, Oliver returns to the school in the final movie to fight against Lord Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts.

He can be difficult to spot during the battle, but he flies toward the castle on a broomstick wearing a dark top and tan pants.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

Lily Potter (Geraldine Somerville) is first shown in a flashback when Hagrid explains the truth about her death to Harry.

She appears to be wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with jeans.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Lily appears a handful of times throughout the series, but she's last shown when Harry uses the Resurrection Stone in the final film.

She wears a black, long-sleeve shirt with a gray vest and a pair of dangling earrings.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

When Harry looks into the Mirror of Erised, he sees himself standing with his parents.

This is the first time that James Potter (Adrian Rawlins) is shown on screen, and he wears a dark set of robes over a white shirt and a tie.

He also has glasses that look a lot like Harry's.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

James is again shown wearing dark layers for his final scene when he talks to Harry in the Forbidden Forest.

He dons a dark sweater over a button-up shirt, and he's still wearing his round glasses.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

When Voldemort (Richard Bremmer) is first shown, he doesn't even have his own body yet. Instead, he appears as a face on the back of Professor Quirrell's head.

This makes Professor Quirrell's suit and button-up shirt part of viewers' first look at the series' villain.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Voldemort is played by a different actor (Ralph Fiennes) from the fourth movie on, and all of his features look pretty different from the first movie.

He tends to wear billowing dark wizard robes, and his last outfit is no exception to this.

Voldemort dies while wearing a set of black robes over all-black clothing.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

As a house-elf, Dobby (voiced by Toby Jones) is not allowed to own his own clothes while he's under the command of the Malfoy family.

Like many other house-elves, he's only wearing a tan sack when he's first shown in the second film.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"

Dobby is a free elf by the end of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

Once he's free he's allowed to wear what he likes, and the books describe him as layering all sorts of funky socks and other accessories.

His final outfit shows him wearing his same tan sack but with an added pair of shoes to display his free status.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

Arthur Weasley (Mark Williams) first appears on the screen when he comes home from work at the Ministry of Magic.

He's wearing a bow tie and button-up shirt with a striped vest under a gray suit jacket and matching pants.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Arthur is last shown during the Battle of Hogwarts wearing a different button-up shirt, patterned vest, and jacket with gray pants.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

Lucius (Jason Isaacs) is first shown wearing a black cloak over dark clothing.

He wears dark gloves and carries his wand in a walking stick adorned with a silver snake head.

His outfit and accessories show how wealthy and important the Malfoys are at the beginning of the series.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

The Malfoys are in worse shape by the end of the series, and Lucius' rumpled clothing reflects this.

He no longer wears his gloves or carries his fancy walking stick. Instead, he's wearing a layered look with a long-sleeved turtleneck under a long, black vest.

But he still has a statement belt as an accessory.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

Professor Lupin (David Thewlis) sits in the same car as Harry, Ron, and Hermoine on the Hogwarts Express in his first appearance.

Though Lupin wears tattered clothing in the book to reflect his position as an outcast because he's a werewolf, he's dressed in professional-looking clothes in the movie.

He wears a gray coat over a button-up shirt and tie.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

By his last appearance, Lupin's hair is neater, but his style didn't change much.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, he's wearing a button-up shirt and vest under a brown jacket.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) is first shown in his Animagus dog form.

But when he transforms into a human, he's wearing his tattered Azkaban prison uniform under a ragged coat.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Sirius is able to wear nicer clothes through the rest of the series after he returns to wizarding society.

His final outfit doesn't change from when he dies in the fifth movie, but he reappears in it in "Deathly Hallows – Part 2" when Harry uses the Resurrection Stone.

Sirius wears a dark vest and gray button-up under a striped jacket with black pants.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall) spends his earliest moments on the screen in his rat form.

When he's changed back to his human form, he's wearing a wrinkled striped suit.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2"

Peter wears a similar dark, striped suit for his final look.

But his clothes aren't as wrinkled, and his right hand has been replaced by a silver one.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson) is first introduced when he meets up with the Weasleys on the way to the Quidditch World Cup.

He appears to be abiding by the wizards' secrecy rules by wearing a simple set of Muggle clothes, including a dark shirt under a green sweater and a green jacket.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

Each of the Triwizard Tournament champions wears a unique look for the final challenge.

Harry and Cedric both wear jerseys in their house colors with their last names on the back.

Cedric's is yellow and black, and his name is written in red with a red star under it.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

As a famous quidditch player, Viktor Krum (Stanislav Yanevski) is first shown wearing his Bulgarian team uniform at the Quidditch World Cup.

The red robes have the team logo on the right side, and he's also wearing goggles and gloves.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"

Viktor Krum's final scene was technically cut from the films.

But in the deleted scene, he's dancing with Hermione at Bill and Fleur's wedding wearing a plain black suit.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

Cho Chang (Katie Leung) joined the series in the later Harry Potter movies.

She's first shown buying candy from the trolley on the Hogwarts Express wearing a pink jacket over a blue-ish shirt.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

When the members of Dumbledore's Army gather in the Room of Requirement before the Battle of Hogwarts, Cho is wearing a light-blue cardigan over a patterned dress.

But for some reason, she changes into her Hogwarts robes with her Ravenclaw tie for the battle even though everyone else is wearing their clothes from that previous scene.

This is especially odd since Cho is a year older than Harry and would've already finished her schooling at Hogwarts.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

Fleur (Clémence Poésy) first appears dancing in her Beauxbatons uniform with her classmates.

The all-blue uniform includes kitten heels, tights, a dress with an attached cape, and a slightly pointy hat.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

By her final appearance, Fleur is no longer a student and is married to Bill Weasley.

Her final outfit at the Battle of Hogwarts consists of a gray top, a dark jacket, and delicate necklace.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

When Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody is first introduced in the films, Barty Crouch Jr. is impersonating him using Polyjuice Potion. But even so, his look is largely the same throughout the series.

He wears a lot of dark layers covered by a long, brown coat. He also has his signature glass eye held in place by a strap.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"

By the seventh film, Moody is still wearing lots of dark layers, though, in his final outfit, they're a little easier to distinguish from each other.

For the Battle of the Seven Potters, he's wearing a gray Henley shirt under a brown sweater and what appears to be his same long, brown coat.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

Professor Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) is first shown watching Harry's trial at the Ministry of Magic.

She wears a black set of robes with a black hat like her fellow Ministry coworkers, but she shows off her love of pink at the collar and adds an oval brooch.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1"

Umbridge's last appearance also takes place at the Ministry of Magic.

Her entire outfit, including a cat-shaped scarf, is pink. But she's also wearing the gold Horcrux locket around her neck.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

Luna Lovegood (Evanna Lynch) wears outfits and accessories that are as unique as she is.

When she meets the trio on the Hogwarts carriages in the fifth movie, she's wearing magenta stockings under a shirt along with a dark shirt, purple jacket, and her signature radish earrings.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Though her last look is a bit more toned down, Luna's still wearing brighter colors than most of her classmates do during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Her last outfit consists of black boots, purple-pink jeans, and a purple floral vest over a long-sleeved shirt.

She's also wearing another pair of fun, dangling earrings that are likely supposed to be in the shape of Dirigible plums based on the books.

First appearance: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) is first shown breaking out of Azkaban barefoot and wearing her striped long-sleeved prison uniform.

Last appearance: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2"

Bellatrix has a consistent fashion sense after her first appearance.

In most of her scenes, she's wearing layers of black clothing to match her long, curly black hair.

For her final outfit, Bellatrix wears laced long sleeves, a corset-style top, and a long skirt.
