Professor Sybill Trelawney (Harry Potter) Costume for Cosplay & Halloween
Professor Sybill Trelawney is the Divination professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She continually made up premonitions of Harry dying every year and most think she’s a fraud.
In fact, she had to share her classes with a fellow professor, a centaur named Firenze, by Harry Potter’s sixth year. What not a lot of people know is that Professor Trelawney actually is a True Seer (sometimes).
Professor Trelawney looks like a trying hard gypsy wannabe. She loves wearing patchwork clothes in earthy tones and she is very partial to shawls. For most of the movies, she wears a tunic, maxi skirt, bandanna headband, and big round glasses. Here’s everything you need to look like Professor Trelawney.
