Robes made of swaths of sheer fabric create a fey, ethereal look for the nontraditional witch.

Marchesa

Deirdre never came out well in Colin’s photographs. Colin captured moments in time, things to be remembered. Deirdre didn’t want to be captured, or have photographs tell people who she was. She wanted to be able to mold the memories, her image, decide who she ways for each person she met. She could hardly do that if she was stuck, unmoving, undeniably this or that in Colin’s muggle photographs. As a result, Colin always caught her only suddenly and awkwardly aware of the camera.

Later, Deirdre seethed at being documented as the awkward acquaintance that showed up in the odd photo. She hated that that was the only view she had ever given to Colin’s camera, lank-haired and flat-eyed after being rejected by her Yule Ball date. She hated that it was the only photo that she had ever been able to give Colin. She hated that it was the only thing left of her and Colin–his camera, her photo.

During the First Wizarding War, Carmelita hid for two years along with her brother and father inside this windmill, whose protective charms have long since worn off rendering it visible. Carmelita’s brother was killed by Death Eaters during the Second Wizarding War for resistance.

Gold brocade witch’s robes worn by Faustina Selwyn to her daughter’s wedding to Nero Lestrange in 1949. Wizarding weddings, especially in pure-blood circles, have always been incredibly important events due to the necessity of perpetuating wizarding bloodlines and passing down the family name.

Gwenore Ollivander in red robes, shortly before the death of her father, Gervaise Ollivander. After Gervaise’s death, Gwenore ran the Ollivander wand-making business for almost 10 years before her brother Garrick came of age to take over the business. While Garrick is credited as one of the greatest wandmakers of his century, most historians ignore the fact that he learned everything he knew of wands and wandlore from his sister. Gwenore died in 1931 and has been the first witch to single-handedly run Ollivanders Wand Shop in Diagon Alley since the 13th century.
