book week characters for 9yr old ds?r

[wohmum]

I know this has been done before - but please can i have your suggestions for a book week dress up character?

he loves beast quest books, the hobbit etc but nothing particularly obvious.

What about characters out of Harry Potter, pirates eg Long John Silver, the Iron Man (lots of tinfoil), Stig ...? Gandalf?? One of the Twitts?

I sent ds as Mr Twit a couple of years ago. I made a wig and beard out of long, fury fabric and stuck plastic fish, small pom poms (baked beans) and pieces of foam (chips) on to it, then we made 'bird pie' out of clay and those little chicks you get at easter with plastic feet into it. He had some 'hug tight glue' made out of a yogurt tub aswell. He looked fab!
