Harry Potter Couture
A guide to the perfect Potterhead’s winter wardrobe
The wizarding world at Christmastime has always looked like, well, a magical place: starting snowball fights and hearing carolers in Hogsmeade, enjoying a Christmas feast beneath snow in the Great Hall or cozying up in front of the fire in a hand-knit Molly Weasley jumper.

Gillian “Gil” Russo, FCLC ’21, is one of The Observer’s virtual vanguards — er, online editors. Previously, she worked as the arts & culture editor and one of the inaugural newsletter editors. Gil is a journalism major/theatre minor who had hoped to write just one Broadway show review before graduation, and although that didn’t happen, she did achieve her new goal to do at least one thing for all 15 divisions of The Observer by then. Other fun facts include that she enjoys dancing and sword-fighting, she can say the alphabet backwards, and she modeled for a French chair catalog one time. gillianrusso.com
