What is Halloween if not the only day of the year when it's socially acceptable to pretend we're not mere muggles, but magical creatures from J.K. Rowling's wizarding world?

People all over the world have gone full on Harry Potter for Halloween, and J.K. Rowling is, true to form, very much into it. The author shared her favourite 2018 Potter costumes on Twitter and there's some pretty amazing ones in the mix.

And so. Many. Cute. Babies.

This little free elf though.

Let these tiny Harry and Hedwig break your heart.

One woman went one step further and dressed as a character who hasn't even been properly introduced yet; the Maledictus that would became Voldemort's BFF, Nagini.

And of course, there was doggos.

Just 364 days until we all get to live out our inner Potter fantasies again.
