Can’t decide between splurging on the official Harry Potter robes or just getting cheaper ones off of Amazon? Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the key differences between the two.

• Patch: Amazon’s is bigger & more vibrant
• Button: Amazon’s is bigger
• Wand pocket: official’s is narrow and hidden, Amazon’s is wider and external
• Pockets: none on Amazon robe
• Sleeves: wider on official robe
• Hood: official’s is wider with longer tail
• Color (Gryffindor): official = burgundy/maroon, Amazon = bright ruby red
• Lining: Amazon’s is fully lined
• Length: official’s is overall longer

I opted for the Amazon robes in the end because the color was the most important aspect for me. When I first saw the Gryffindor robes at the parks, I was incredibly disappointed and I actually shouted, “Why is Gryffindor MAROON!?? Ron HATES maroon!” inside the store. 🤪

I have never regretted my Amazon robe because I absolutely LOVE the bright red color. The only thing I would change about my Amazon robe is the length, because I find that it is too short and therefore makes ME look short. Otherwise, it is the perfect robe for me!

Now that you know the difference, which robe would you choose?

NOTE:
Robes are most expensive at the theme parks ($139)! You can buy them for less ($100) at the WB Studio Tour in Hollywood, at the Harry Potter New York store, or at www.HarryPotterShop.com.
