- "Professor McGonagall, who was wearing dress robes of red tartan and had arranged a rather ugly wreath of thistles around the brim of her hat..."
- — Description[src]
Professor Minerva McGonagall wore a set of dress robes to the Yule Ball, which was held on Christmas Day, 1994, together with a hat on which she arranged a rather ugly wreath of thistles. The robes were made of a red tartan fabric.[1]
Her dress robes reflected Professor McGonagall's Scottish heritage,[1] hailing from Caithness herself.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Professor McGonagall's dress robes are very different from what is described in the novel: they are made of a green, textured fabric, and she wears a black pointed hat with three thin feathers stuck to the brim.
- Costume designer Jany Temime states that she has taken a particular liking to the material used to fashion this costume because it looked nearly snakelike which "made it look really witchy".
- This robes are very similar to the robes she used in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the colour changed to black (Deathly Hallows) and a grey green (Half-Blood Prince) but the thing that are similar are the two buttons, that little 'horns' in on the arms and the long sleeves.
