WHY YOU SHOULD
CHOOSE US
 

        Each of us Humans should be able to make our own choices, whether they are good or bad and under what ever conditions or pressure. Thus, we leave you to decide whether or not you WANT to join our Singapore Harry Potter Team this July 2007, during any of our activities.

        But if you need some reasons on why our team is the BETTER choice for you, consider these points:

[1] WE ARE "THE ONE"

We are the group of Harry Potter Costumers/Cosplayers that were regularly mentioned or featured in Newspaper Articles, Interviews or Premiere/Launching of Harry Potter Books and Movies.

The "...youngsters in English prep-school uniforms...." was actually referring to US. 3 of us were "spotted" by Straits Times reporter at Borders and she interviewed us for this article.
Our Draco (Xeno), Harry (Parish), Luna (Sarachcoldheart) and Slytherin Prefect (Darth Eagle)

[2] ACCURACY WITH FLEXIBILITY AND CONSIDERATIONS

Yes, each of us, having long ventured into the Harry Potter Costuming/Cosplay Hobby, encourage our members to make their Costumes and Props as Accurate and Durable as possible. An Accurate Costume or Prop, whether to the Movie Version or Illustration Version etc will help Casual Harry Potter Fans identify quickly who or what you are suppose to be when in Costume.

But if Time Constrain, Limited Budget and Lack of Supply/Resources/Luck is a problem, we don't mind our members making "Generic" or "Quality Ghetto" or "Original Design" Harry Potter Costumes and Props.

Hey! Not everyone got a Silver Spoon in their mouth, let alone a Gold one as to be able to afford Accurate or Official Harry Potter Costume, Props or Merchandises. And most importantly, our members DO have experience assembling and making our own Harry Potter Costumes, so we know the pain of finding and possible cost of each parts and the feeling of wearing the Full Harry Potter Uniform in Singapore.

We are not like some groups, most of them Newbie to the whole concept of Harry Potter Costuming/Cosplaying who DO NOT do what they preached. They preached "Accuracy" but can't tell the different from what was originally in the movie and what was "Official Merchandise" at work items (i.e. purposely made different from the ones used in the movie). They preached "Quality Products" but they want to pay the least for their costumes or parts or want their costume to be even more simplified till it's Worst than the Standard Cheapo Halloween Costumes.

We are pretty flexible too and respect your choice of parts (like Dark Charcoal Grey or Black Stockings instead of Black Legging) as long as it's not over customized that it looked Ridiculous or too "Adult-Themed". We will also not force you to dye your hair certain color or wear wig or wear certain type of costume or props/accessories if it's not within your budget or against your religion/belief.

[3] WE ARE RESPONSIBLE AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE RESPONSIBLE TOO

We encourage our members to find the parts for their costume first on their own as some things are SOOOO easy to find here in Singapore and NOT depend on ONE source to provide all. Getting your own Costume Parts will also allow you to fit the cost according to your budget instead of being force to purchase the Brand/Style of other people's choice which may cost a bomb. It also encourage you to at least "work" a bit for your own costume, hence you know what you're getting and how it will look like when finally worn in public.

Yes, we do "Spoon-Feed" our members by helping each person to acquire certain parts that are not easily available in Singapore like *Accurate* Robe Patch or Sweater or even recommend someone local or foreign to make the School Robe or Skirt/Parts for you BUT we also encourage you to assemble the other parts yourselves making it a 2-Way Responsibility.

White/Ivory Shirt is available at many leading (and thrifty/rejected goods) shops with choices in term of its design too (Male, Female, Short Sleeves etc etc) while Black Shoes can be gotten from many Neighborhood Shoes stores, for as little as SGD9.90. As for Dark Charcoal Grey Pants or Skirts, you can substitute it with Black Pants/Skirt or wear Dark Grey ones, found at many clothing stores or easily tailored by regular tailors.

[4] WE DO NOT FORCE YOU TO ATTEND ALL OF OUR ACTIVITIES

We too have other Real Life Commitment so we know you may not be available all the time, as to be able to attend our activities or Photoshoots.

You can choose to join in any of our activities at your own discrete or choice as long as you notify us earlier, especially in the cases when we have to purchase the Tickets earlier or notify the Photoshoot Location about our plan for Photoshoot there and number of people coming.

[5] WE ARE WILLING TO DO CHARITY WORKS

Yes, if the need arises, we will love to get involved in any Charity Works or Events in our Harry Potter Costume as long as it's not for Commercial Purposes. Whether to visit Children Homes or Special Children Party or participate in a Library Reading Week, our members will love to be part of it as long as our Real Life Schedule permits it. Some of our members have experiences in this from our participation in such activities in our Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter etc etc Costumes and Armors.

One Wish we have right now:
We will love to be involved with The Make-A-Wish Foundation Singapore should any of their beneficiaries want to have a "Wizard" or Harry Potter Birthday Party. *HINT HINT*
