Aaaaah, thanks for the St. Mungo's graphic! Do you know where it came from?
The Hufflepuff costume still has more yellow than is good for me to wear (especially the hat) but the gold trim is very nice. Something to think about. The other costumes are very nice, too. And that's the tallest Snape I've ever seen. But I've been trying to think of something that is more distinctive.
Harry Potter costumes can be very generically magical and fantasy, and so, not distinctively HP costumes. LotR costumes can have the same problem, unless you do a specific style or face character from the movies. 'Angel' or 'Buffy' are even more problematic - though they're a popular universe, the costumes for those are just street clothes. Unless you can do a specific face character or heavy-duty makeup and contact lenses, no one would know you were wearing a costume at all. That's why I did Angel-Puppet -- distinctively Buffyverse, but not with the heavy make-up.
So, they did not do any St. Mungo's scenes in the last movie. That is disappointing, but since it's a given that they have to cut out a lot from such a fat book to fit it into a 2-hour movie, not unexpected.
Not having St. Mungo's in the last movie is both bad and good. Bad because those were great scenes and it would be nice to have a visual of what the healer's robes look like. But good because I'm not trying to imitate a style. And lime green wizards robes with the St. Mungo's emblem would be recognizably Harry Potter. Lime green isn't my best color, but not as ghastly as yellow. Thanks again for the insignia.
