  • One might say this is one of the reasons Dumbledore wanted Slughorn on his side.

    Though, I’m sure Snape could have made it too, and if Voldemort ordered him to make some, I don’t see him getting out of it.

    The in-story reason why Voldemort doesn’t seek help in this way is pride. He believes he is superior, and thus, should be capable of killing Harry unassisted.

    “Listen, Severus, I want you to brew me a cauldron of Felix Felicis, but I can’t have the other Death Eaters finding out about it…” No, he could never admit to anyone, neither Snape nor himself, that he needed such a handicap to kill a teenager.



  • In most places, hats and coats are considered outerwear. You suggest someone wear a hat, and they’ll wear it everywhere.

    I suggested ditching the hat (and coat) because people who dress for a theme, like OP, often let the theme override indoor/outdoor considerations.

    Maybe in Texas they wear the hats indoors. But in most places, you go inside, you take your hat off immediately (and hang it up until you go back out).



  • You can do the cowboy look well. Ditch the long leather coat, the hat and the toothpick. Wear flannel button-ups and cowboy boots of a standard color with jeans of a standard color.

    Don’t copy phrases from movies, but speak slowly and politely. Don’t do a strong accent, but it’s ok to do a mild accent. Instead of tipping a hat, give a significant, thoughtful head nod as a greeting.

    Check out Sam from TrueBlood as a good example.
