If you are a big fan of the Harry Potter series, then you are also likely a fan of the prequel series The Fantastic Beasts, which takes place many decades before the events of Harry Potter. A lot of the characters introduced in the series are new, except for Albus Dumbledore, though he is still young here.

The main character for this series, though, is Newt Scamander, who is a Magizoologist and an author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is also the title of the first movie. He is basically a wizard that specializes in studying magical creatures. Newt Scamander cosplay is a good choice if you’re looking for a new character in the Harry Potter world to dress up in.

Cosplaying Newt is simple since he doesn’t really wear a lot of different outfits throughout the movie. He also doesn’t really wear anything unusual as his outfits consist of pants, boots, long sleeves polo, vest, and a trench coat. But unlike the other famous characters in this wizarding world, cosplaying Newt requires several accessories, particularly the suitcase that contains his magical creatures. This luggage is an important accessory for him, almost as important as his wand.
