With the untimely passing of venerated Hogarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, his friend, head of Gryffindor house, and Professor of Transfiguration Minerva McGonagall held down the fort and defended Hogwarts from the advances of voldemort and his Death Eaters. Pay homage to one of the most powerful female wizards in the Potterverse and dress up as Prof. McGonagall. Playing an important role in the upcoming harry potter film, The Halfblood Prince, McGonagall's character makes for a great costume. Start out with her distinctive hat, much more elaborate than your typical witch's hat. In basic black and as no-nonsense as the Professor herself, this officially licensed hat has a wide, flat brim and rises to a conical peak. It's made of plush velvet and decorated with green trim and a brooch holding a distinctive feather adhered with ornamentation.
