'I solemnly swear I am up to no good': words that kids live by are perfectly summed up by everyone's favourite wizard, Harry Potter.

If you have keen readers at home, or simply mini Potterheads who can't get enough of the magical world of wizards and witches, it's only natural that they are already thinking about their next dress-up session or Halloween outfit. Superheroes can step aside for now, as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the world that surrounds it is filled with heroes beyond the wildest imaginations.

Mini witches and wizards need look no further, as at Kidadl we have found the best Harry Potter costume ideas for kids out there!

For more, take a look at our round ups of the best kids' books about witches and the best Harry Potter gifts for kids.
