DH and World Book Day

15 replies

Bibiboo · 09/02/2006 12:45

DH always dresses up for world book day at his school but this year we're stuck. So far he's been as Dumbledore (Harry Potter), Frodo (LOTR) and James (and the Giant Peach).

What can he go as this year? best answer gets him in an outfit and pictures posted on the members profile on march 2nd!

Thanks

Yes, he's a teacher, I'm not a cradle-snatcher!

Any ideas then or will all the other kids make fun of him because he's not got a costume?

It's not till March, is it, so lots of time.

How about the Professor from the L, the W and the W? I haven't seen the film but in the BBC one he had a beard and a tweed suit.

we have to take in a clue that alludes to a book this year
thank god

Or the Demon Headmaster?

We have to dress DS has a character from his favourite book. He had a tantrum because I said his Darth Vader costume wasn't appropriate.

Me: You can't go dressed as Darth Vader because it has to be somebody out of a book
Him: But he is in Daddy's book (ie DH has the book for Revenge of the Sith - but obviously my 4yo is not reading it)
Me: It's got to be a book you have read yourself.
Him: No it doesn't - blahdeblah

We have agreed on Willy Wonka because we are reading Charlie ATCF at bedtime atm. So any ideas for that would be welcome.

Bibiboo - he could dress up as a spider and be Charlotte from C's Web. Actually I think JanH's idea of the professor is a good one. Fairly topical this year.

How about Willy Wonka from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'? Does he look like Johnny Depp at all[smile}]?

Bozza · 09/02/2006 16:10

Right JackieNo what would you do for Willy Wonka? I was thinking of making a top hat out of black card and I am sure I can manage a cane. But what about the purple tail coat?

JanH · 09/02/2006 16:12

Bozza, could your DS go as Charlie Bucket?

JackieNo · 09/02/2006 16:16

You're right - purple tail coat is a bit of a challenge. This is a bit on the expensive side (to put it mildly!).

Bozza · 10/02/2006 12:53

Yes I think he would go for that JanH. But in what way does Charlie Bucket look different to DS?

Marina · 10/02/2006 13:02

Stuff Professor Kirk, send him in as Mr Tumnus. Oh, go on, bibiboo...

Bozza · 10/02/2006 13:12

Marina that had crossed my mind too.
