![]() I see him sometimes now, and he says it was all part of the role. I remember it was the most awful thing I put on him, and it was grotesque, and he never complained. ![]() JT: With Ron Weasley, he had the very ugly dress robes handed down from his Great Aunt Tessie, and what I found most admirable about Rupert Grint was that he never felt embarrassed about the costume. What about the other actors? Were there any other amusing reactions to their costumes?

The first boy I fitted was Daniel Radcliffe, and we did it at his house. I took the shape of the Hogwarts uniform, and it was beautiful. We had 30 metres of chiffon for that dress, it was incredibly difficult but a beautiful result.įor the boys, we needed to a make a black-tie version of their magical gowns. Fleur’s Yule Ball gown is grey, and I wanted her to look couture and classy and elegant. Or, you go completely the other way and do a childish dress, like Ginny Weasley’s cutesy green tulle with pink pom poms.įleur Delacour, played by Clémence Poésy, and the Beauxbaton Academy girls were all in blue (so Hermione couldn’t have worn blue anyway), and during the introductory assembly, everyone is in black and brown and the Beauxbatons girls come in like a wind from Paris. It softened the edges of the dress, and she looked like a blooming flower. I added the frills on the shoulder because it would move when she was dancing. I also wanted to have a magical sort of fabric that went from light to dark. The dress had to move and be revealing without being too much. Blue is so cold, and Hermione should be warm. I know that in the book it’s supposed to be blue, but I thought that the dress should be pink. The reaction to her changed appearance had to be “wow”. I wanted to keep the personality of each character, and the most difficult was Hermione, because it had to be a big contrast between the old her and the new her. JT: Harry Potter is a film about teenagers, and it’s so important that they look and behave like teenagers. What is the most important thing you want to achieve with these costumes?

It was the first time in series where the boys and girls had the chance to start flirting with each other, which was an extremely important aspect of the story and the character development. The girls are looking more like women, and the boys are at an age where they’re looking at the girls. This is also the moment our heroes are coming of age. With the fantasy element in mind, I had a clear idea of what the costumes were going to look like. We’re in a magical world, and the Yule Ball is the culmination of the Triwizard tournament and those magical games. The idea was to design an incredible fantasy, to make it like a fairy tale. It was a sort of ice palace-very cold, crystalline, and a lot of white and silver. The production designer chose this palace in Brighton, the Royal Pavilion, which was very glittery inside. JT: Although people associate these scenes from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with Christmas, it wasn’t the core idea. When you were designing dress robes for the Yule Ball scenes, did you have a vision in mind? When I have a discussion with production design to understand the style, colour, mood, location, then I have a better concept and can start designing. I also like to know the cast-every actor has a different look and way of being. Every story and director’s point of view is different. I try to find out what they want, because we are telling a story with the costumes. Jany Temime: I start by reading the script and talking to the director.
