Harry Potter Robes at Universal Studios – The Complete Guide
Harry Potter (Hogwarts) robes are one of the best Universal Studios souvenirs. However, they’re also one of the most expensive.
Harry Potter robes cost $139 at the Universal Orlando Resort and $145 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
The robes are available in two different sizes:
- Youth
- Adult
They also cover all four of the Hogwarts houses:
- Gryffindor
- Hufflepuff
- Ravenclaw
- Slytherin

Despite the high price tag, a Hogwarts robe is still one of the best souvenirs I’ve ever bought from Universal Studios. If you’re unsure about the purchase, here are a few things I recommend considering:
- Will you wear the robe inside and outside of the Universal Studios parks?
- Do you plan to come to Universal Studios again in the future?
- Would you bring and wear the robe on your next visit?
If you answer yes to these questions, then I believe a Hogwarts robe will be worth the money.

Official Hogwarts Robe Design & Features
Hogwarts robes are made from polyester and cotton, making them soft and lightweight yet durable.
The robes come in all four of the Hogwarts house colours:
- Gryffindor: Red with a gold lion crest
- Hufflepuff: Yellow with a black badger crest
- Ravenclaw: Blue with a bronze eagle crest
- Slytherin: Green with a silver serpent crest

Each robe has a detailed house crest stitched onto the left side, just over your heart and features:
- A wand pocket: Located inside the robe on the left-hand side. This pocket is perfect for carrying your interactive wand.
- Two pockets: Located on the outside of the robe. These pockets are deep enough to hold a phone and even a reusable cup.

The official Harry Potter (Hogwarts) robes are dry clean only. I’ve taken my robe on several trips to Universal, and thankfully, I have not needed to have it cleaned yet.
Buying a Hogwarts Robe at Universal Studios
You can buy a Harry Potter (Hogwarts) robe in various locations, including:
- Universal Stores at on-site properties (Universal Orlando only)
- Universal Studios Store at CityWalk
- Universal Studios Store at the theme park entrance

However, buying a Harry Potter robe at Universal Studios is an experience. As such, I recommend buying your robe at:
- Madam Malkin’s in Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida
- Gladrags Wizardwear at Universal Studios Hollywood

These stores are perfectly themed for the occasion and have the most extensive range of Harry Potter clothing. They are also the only place you can see the full range of student wizard accessories, including:
- Headbands
- Bows
- Ties
It is also the only location where you can have your items embroidered. The embroidery of a Hogwarts Robe costs $20 plus tax, while other applicable items cost $10 plus tax.

Wearing Hogwarts Robes at Universal Studios
Both adults and children wear Hogwarts robes at Universal Studios. This includes robes bought at Universal Studios and robes bought elsewhere.
However, there are some important things to keep in mind:
- Weather: Wearing a Hogwarts robe at Universal Studios in the summer can be uncomfortable so you may only want to wear it for photos.
- Robe Storage: When you’re not wearing your robe at Universal Studios, consider if you’ll carry it in a backpack or store it in a locker.
- Ride Restrictions: For safety reasons, you won’t be able to wear your robe on certain rides.
- Halloween Horror Nights: You are not permitted to wear your robe or any costume during Halloween Horror Nights.
Pro Tip: Taking a photo wearing a Hogwarts robe in front of the castle is one of the best things to do at Universal Studios Hollywood.
