Personally, I think this is what a proper informational video looks like. Some you tubers take several MINUTES to actually get to the point, but with your video I listened to every word and found it very helpful...so thank you!
Do people often dress up in the school uniforms at the Wizarding World parks? I really want to but I don't know if there's any policy against it or not. Great video!
That's your choice. Dressing up in a school uniform is not against the rules or regulations as far as I know. I wore a white shirt with black pants to look like a student. Nobody said anything to me as I wore a tie with my robes. I say go for it. So dressing like a student, or another favorite character should be ok.
maybe my answer isn't that valid for you if you're going to the US park but, in ww universal studios japan they literally dress in full character and especially some of students come to usj after their school time still with their uniforms anyways, and it's 100% okay. sorry if this is a (super) late answer hahah
Welp. I am so saving up for the official one lmao. Edit: I got one, but they didn’t have my size. So now I’m left with one that’s a little bit big on me, but I enjoy it nonetheless lmao.
Great video! I also want to add something I noticed too. For those who are extremely picky like myself, the logos on the official robes aren't as nice and detailed as the patch that they also sell at universal studios. It's a great investment of only $8ish and you can just add it on top. So much nicer than the one originally on it!
I have knockoff robes also. The patches were awful so I got the ones they sell from Universal Studios and put them on my robes. The ones on the official robes are smaller.
Thank you. I’ve been looking for a hufflepuff robe for my daughter for xmas and there are so many ones to choose from even so many different ones on Amazon
Thank you so much. This video was incredibly helpful. It's my 7 ad 10yo's birthday end of this month. Both are currently obsessed with HP so ordered them personalised hogwarts trunks which I'm planning to fill with some merchandise. I was going to get them the official robes, but with my kids still being young I knew they won't be careful when playing with them (potentially damaging them), but at the same time I wanted something that still looks lovely and made of alright quality. The official ones are obviously nicer, but the ebay ones are still better than other cheaper alternatives I've seen on our UK amazon. The price point is brilliant too so if they get damaged it won't break the bank to have them replaced. If they're still into HP when they're older I'm happy to invest into the more expensive official robes. 🙂
Thank you so much! This helped a ton. Also I wanted to add, you speak with better grammar than 90% of our generation and it was really refreshing to hear haha.
This video was very helpful, thank you for that. I am actually planning on making my own Ravenclaw robe for Halloween(with the help from a official HP robe pattern that I found on Etsy), and as any good Ravenclaw I am trying to research and learn everything about how the official robes look like in order to make a pretty decent robe. Of course, I do plan on buying an actual one in the future but as I do not have the money to spend on an official Universal robe, making one for now is what I am going to do. So thank you again for this video.
Thanks for the video. I will visit the Harry Potter studio in London with my family next summer. Thanks to your video I know they get value for money on the official robes. Great video.
I must admit this was a good video. It was very helpful in seeing the comparison to both ebay robes and official robes sold at Universal Studios. Online these robes for adults are over a hundred on thirty dollars. For that, I could get three for the price of one from ebay. Plus a tie with each robe. Perhaps when I go to Universal Studios this summer, I will get a Ravenclaw robe myself with an official tie and scarf. But just that one. I already ordered four custom made robes. That way I will have all four house robes. All the other robes on ebay fit mostly those of a smaller size. I found the pre-sized ones are not going to fit me. LOL I'm glad I found custom made robes that will surely fit me at a low price. Again, thank you for sharing this video.
@@brandonwray6831 You thought I forgot about you. I just wanted you to know I found this page Auscosplay. It has a package deal on Hogwarts robes. You can get a robe, tie , scarf , sweater along with a shirt. All for under $100. It looks like the deal of a lifetime. Check it out for yourself.
Jason Hightower Thanks but I bought custom robe off Etsy very shortly after this comment lol 155$, but it’s high quality, customized exactly how I wanted, and had very fast shipping. Appreciate the tag though!
@@brandonwray6831 That's good. I'm glad you found a robe you're happy with. I found some other costumes at good prices. Keep the page in mind in the future perhaps. Again. Congrats on finding a robe.
Thanks for making this video. I have two robes (one eBay and one official) but I can tell that the target one has taken elements from the official but still feels cheap.
great video, this was really helpful bcs I have a trip to universal studio japan next month and are wondering where to buy uniforms better. Finally, I chose universal. thank you so much. btw, i'm ravenclaw:")
Nice video. I recently bought the official one and noticied there is a part of the fabbric, right below the hood, that isn't sewed... I wondered if it was on purpose or it just came off while traveling...
This was very helpful as I will be going over seas to Los Angeles later this year and was debating to get a authentic house robe (Slytherin) or to get a "knock off" but seeing the differences in quality I will be getting mine from Universal Studios. Thank you for all the helpful information :)
Thank you for the informative video! I bought the Ravenclaw robes from the official Harry Potter online shop and I will use this video to see if it’s the same robes as Universal or not. I got it personalized to have my name (Hope) too, I’m so excited. I would love to get an eBay cloak and alter it to match the book Ravenclaw robes (i.e. the eagle crest!)
Thank You for this video! Was just looking at robes for a gift for someone. This was a very useful video. Helped me make my decision! Thank you again. :D
the size guide online isnt clear so i dont understand it much. it has a general chart with sizes and then an infant, youth, and adult. im planning on getting one but the guide just doesnt make sense. should i get an infant XL or and XXS (im not sure how to get this one)
Ok now im wheezing like shit i went to a second hand store today and got a gryffindor robe for $20 and i was curious if it was real or not and thanks to this vid now i know its a real one....omfg i got a bargain -
I’m 5’7 but I’m thin would the small or medium robe from Orlando be best? My parents are taking my brother but aren’t taking me until December but they’re bringing me it back. (A con of working at a hospital is getting having a 2 month schedule lol)
I got mine from think geek and it’s for less than 120 dollars but ThinkGeek mixed my size with some one else’s and didn’t come with a wand holder I think
What size did you get it? I’m about 5’4 and wondering if I should go for the medium adult size or large adult size. For the universal official one Which one would you recommend?
Do you know what company on eBay that you bought your robe from? I want to pick up a lighter-weight one not sure who to buy it from. Great video thanks for sharing
I thought after I sent you the comment sorry I missed it the first time. Thanks again for the help. You have made it easy for me to shop for my girls. I appreciate it!
Just one question to you guys. What the hell are you doing with those? I really want to buy one as soon as I go to the Universal Studios but then again it's really a lot of money and I have no idea what I should do with them - who needs that? There are no conventions or stuff like that where I live so I'm barely going to have a chance to wear them. Same for the wand - I really want one but what am I going to do with one? XD
Yuki Kakumei I was wondering about the same thing lol. I live in the Netherlands and there aren’t that many HP events or celebrations going on... London is only a 1 hour flight but I’m not flying to the UK 10 times a year lol 😆 it’s quite a struggle, isn’t it? The official robe looks so much better than the eBay one but then again, it’s so damn expensive! Ugh! 😫
To the people wondering where to use it; I live in Sweden and I bought both the robe, wand and scarf at the universal studios in Orlando. The scarf ofc comes in handy during the winter (scandinavian weather you know.) But the robe is indeed quite hard to find use for. I usually wear it to any dress up event i can attend and Halloween is a great time to wear it. Its also quite warm to wear even if its cold outside so it works fine for outdoor Halloween activities. Other than that, if you really love it and you want to buy a robe I suggest buying the official one, much more worth it!
I cant understand why the symbols are raven and not eagle(i am a ravenclaw )it makes me quite angry and i cant find any real symboled ravenclaw robes any where
Hey! may I ask what size are you usually on T-shirts?? I want to order this online as I live in Spain and I don't know what size to choose (size guide isn't clear)
Caoimhe Obrien I don't blame you. I bought all four robes for fourty dollars each. Each one was custom made in my size. I also got ties with each of my robes. You can't beat that price from ebay.
For the official ones, I would say XS or S. It really depends on how it fits on you though. I would try the official ones on first before buying. As for the Ebay ones, I would go with Large or Medium. Depending on how long you want it to be.
I’m 5’4” and I fit in a small from universal studios, it is a bit big and long (goes barley above my ankles), but I think it fits better than the XS, which is shorter, and I prefer my robe a little longer where you can’t see half my leg lol
You, my friend, are a life saver.

You will be surprised on how many ppl go with full Hogwarts clothes when you go, I was one of them in my slytherin robes 😁

Why would it be against the rules to wear Harry Potter cosplay at a Harry Potter theme park? Of course you can!
Lindy Kwok its honestly your choice some ppl just rlly but there or they dont have one
But they have Ravens instead of Eagles!
Welp. I am so saving up for the official one lmao.
Edit: I got one, but they didn’t have my size. So now I’m left with one that’s a little bit big on me, but I enjoy it nonetheless lmao.
Just makes it a lil moar cozy

I am buying the official one in my house (ravenclaw) but then for cosplays I would buy the cheaper ones.
Hi fellow ravenclaw
Ayyy fellow ravenclaw
Those eBay robes bring back so many memories XD
Thank you for your insight. I wanted a good look at the Ravenclaw Robe specifically and you hit all the highlights.
Thank you. I’ve been looking for a hufflepuff robe for my daughter for xmas and there are so many ones to choose from even so many different ones on Amazon

Thank you so much! This helped a ton. Also I wanted to add, you speak with better grammar than 90% of our generation and it was really refreshing to hear haha.
I got myself the official slytherin robe at universal and i just wear it whenever tbh, very comfy and cool
Very helpful!! Because I'm making one for my son and now I know what it should look like! Fabric tones too! Thank you!!

Where did you find a website to make one custom? I’m looking for one as a larger gentleman for Ravenclaw. Any help/reply would be GREATLY appreciated!
@@brandonwray6831 I found them on ebay. Look for custom made if presized won't do for you.

I got the eBay one because I thought it looks better plus I like the accessories that came with mine
agreed!

btw, i'm ravenclaw:")
it is £75 in england ($100.41)
EVERESTboy it has to get imported from England or so
it's cheaper now it's 65!
Thank you so much. I was just trying to decide on which robe to get for my girlfriend and I (both Ravenclaw, as well ✌) as well as how loose they fit.
This helped! Now I know what to get my cousin for Christmas 💖💖
I know I'm late but can you please be my cousin?
lol
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS, THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Nice video. I recently bought the official one and noticied there is a part of the fabbric, right below the hood, that isn't sewed... I wondered if it was on purpose or it just came off while traveling...

Natasha Abbott I got all my Slytherin gear from Universal. No regrets. I love it.
Very informational. Thank you!
thank you, Kathy!
Totally helped. Universal it is!
I'm planning to buy the official one mainly because it doesn't have that costumey feel
Same
Thank you for the informative video! I bought the Ravenclaw robes from the official Harry Potter online shop and I will use this video to see if it’s the same robes as Universal or not.

Thank You for this video! Was just looking at robes for a gift for someone. This was a very useful video. Helped me make my decision! Thank you again. :D
Thank you! This Video was very helpful! ❤
the size guide online isnt clear so i dont understand it much. it has a general chart with sizes and then an infant, youth, and adult. im planning on getting one but the guide just doesnt make sense. should i get an infant XL or and XXS (im not sure how to get this one)
Thank you. Very Informative.
This was excellent.
Ok now im wheezing like shit i went to a second hand store today and got a gryffindor robe for $20 and i was curious if it was real or not and thanks to this vid now i know its a real one....omfg i got a bargain -
Yeah I have the ebay one it's not bad but it is small and my wand I wouldn't put inside. But it doesn't really bother me at all.
I’m 5’7 but I’m thin would the small or medium robe from Orlando be best? My parents are taking my brother but aren’t taking me until December but they’re bringing me it back. (A con of working at a hospital is getting having a 2 month schedule lol)
3 years had pass and let me tell you. It helped
oh my god, u got my same cape and same wand ahahah
Who is the eBay seller? There are so many to choose from......help.....
How much did it cost???? (the robe from ebay)
I got mine from think geek and it’s for less than 120 dollars but ThinkGeek mixed my size with some one else’s and didn’t come with a wand holder I think
You are awesome! Thanks for this. It was so much help!!!
Thank you this helped so much almost bought a fake one
Thank you
You helped a whole bunch! I was just wondering, does the robe come with the sweater and the tie?
Hi! The EBay robe came with the tie but no sweater. The official Universal robe does not come with either
What size did you get it? I’m about 5’4 and wondering if I should go for the medium adult size or large adult size. For the universal official one
Which one would you recommend?
I think i will just buy the sweater one cause i can use it too :')
Do you know what company on eBay that you bought your robe from? I want to pick up a lighter-weight one not sure who to buy it from. Great video thanks for sharing
The link is in the description box =)
I thought after I sent you the comment sorry I missed it the first time. Thanks again for the help. You have made it easy for me to shop for my girls. I appreciate it!
Lara Mitchell No problem at all! I hope they like them =)
So I got the one off eBay but the wand holder I just think it is the size
Thank you so much! You are awesome!!!
Do you think 10-12 year olds will fit the me/others?
Thank you,that’s was Very helpful.

For me, I go to the parks often. I have an annual pass and I live in Orlando haha. The Celebration of Harry Potter is also in Orlando!

I cant understand why the symbols are raven and not eagle(i am a ravenclaw )it makes me quite angry and i cant find any real symboled ravenclaw robes any where
I have an Ebay robe, feel very cheap in it xD but yea it's better then nothing atm. I really want an official robe one day cuz I'm a huge Potterhead.
but yea for summer time the ebay robe is perfect.
Thank you for this video :)
I do not see the size xxs, only xs, xxxs and xxxxs but not the xxs. I am 4'11 and i'm very thin
What size are they
Thank you.
Hey! may I ask what size are you usually on T-shirts?? I want to order this online as I live in Spain and I don't know what size to choose (size guide isn't clear)
I ordered a ebay because im not paying 110 euro (120 dollars)
Caoimhe Obrien I don't blame you. I bought all four robes for fourty dollars each. Each one was custom made in my size. I also got ties with each of my robes. You can't beat that price from ebay.
Can you do a video on how you bond your chins. I'm planning on bonding two females any tips. Thanks
Cameron already made a great video on how to do that =) ruclips.net/video/2Ct1GoNTFiE/видео.html
How does the ebay robe wash? I know the official robe is dry clean only. Have you washed/dried cleaned either?
I have not needed to wash the ebay robe, but when I do- I am going to put it in a pillow case and into the normal wash.
The official is 114 USD (98 euros)
Is the Universal Studios the same with Cinereplica?
I dont think so....
I need help knowing what size to get I'm only 5'5 skinny
For the official ones, I would say XS or S. It really depends on how it fits on you though. I would try the official ones on first before buying. As for the Ebay ones, I would go with Large or Medium. Depending on how long you want it to be.
Kathy's Chinchillas thanks that helps I'm getting it from eBay
Even tho I'm late, I hope you can help me: I'm 5' 5", what size should I have? S? M?
Sorry I know this is late but i think M would fit you for the ebay one!
Do you wash your robe
For the official robe you have to take it to the dry cleaners
I wish i can buy the eBay's one so i can by the Universal's one 💔🙃
I got the authentic robe it goes to my ancle
if i am 5.4", do you know what size i will be
That's a tough one. You might be able to fit a XXS or an XS with the official Universal Robes. As for the Ebay ones- Maybe a large or an XL
Kathy's Chinchillas Thanks
I’m 5’4” and I fit in a small from universal studios, it is a bit big and long (goes barley above my ankles), but I think it fits better than the XS, which is shorter, and I prefer my robe a little longer where you can’t see half my leg lol
The $119 one isn’t worth it just get it from eBay it’s cheaper that’s wut I did
Harry Potter Wizards World The Universal Studios Hollywood January 7 2019 Classic Fo 2019 Have Come Time Ride 4D Walk Do?
official one its to expensive :cc
Theres nothing wrong with buying eBay robes I ran out of cash
No one said there was anything wrong with buying from eBay =) I did the same.
Kathy's Chinchillas thanks I thought I was only one because it was cheap!
Mines an official authentic by warner brothers uk
Reece Perry what's the link to buy it
