Robes are loose-fitting outer garments most commonly worn by wizard and witches. A robe is distinguished from a cape or cloak by the fact that it usually has sleeves. They can come in many forms and colours, and are available in standard and dress varieties, among others. Hogwarts students are required to own three sets of standard black robes embellished with their house emblem as part of their uniform when they attend classes. For the Yule Ball in 1994, students wore dress robes.

Teachers' robes are more academic in nature and vary in colour. Some wear highly decorated robes, such as Dumbledore, and others wear simpler robes, such as Snape.

Behind the scenes

  • In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the dress robes were described as being "More or less the same as ... school ones". However this was greatly changed for the film version, where the boys appeared to be wearing attire similar to muggle formal-wear and girls were dressed in elegant ball gowns.
  • Also in the films, not everyone wears robes, as described in the books. Many women wear dresses and many men wear ties, trousers, and shirts.
