Book consume a large aspect of our minds, and our favorite fictional character takes our hearts, so much so that we aspire to be them one night every year. While most of us spend a lot of time imagining what we’re going to be for Halloween, we never really take the time to really picture what our favorite characters would go as if they were real. For this list, I mostly stuck to the lovable gangs from the best book series out there and their costume counterparts.
1. The Harry Potter Series
We all know that good things come in threes, and the golden trio is no exception. Despite Halloween being a muggle tradition, there is no doubt that this gang deserves to get in on the fun. And what would they go as? Well, a team through and through, they would go with a matching set. No, not the three musketeers, they’re not that basic. Brave and strong, they’d go as King Arthur, Merlin, and Queen Guinevere of Camelot no question. The real question would be which wizard would be supporting the chain-mail. Not one to want attention and the heart of the group would be Harry Potter or Merlin. Despite wanting to be a knight like Lancelot, Hermione Granger would get talked into being the fierce ruler, Queen Guinevere. There is no question, that Weasley is our King. Reckless and Strong, Ron definitely shows off his dastardly skills as King Arthur.
2. The Mortal Instrument Series
Shadowhunters may not take part in the Mundane world but everyone has to have fun sometime, especially with newly introduced mundies in the mix. Simon Lewis, human turned vampire, might want to take part in a sparky suave heartthrob but we know that his nerdy side would conquer. Him, and the spicy and beautiful Izzy would definitely go as heroic Luke Skywalker and confident Princess Leia. Clary Fray would humor her best friend and go as the bad-ass survivor Rey (from the newer movies) with the handsome commander Poe, i.e. Jace, by her side. And I know, Jace would rather go as himself but for the sake of Clary and the fact that he doesn’t have to cover his face, he’d go along with it. But whether he genuinely got the two confused since Nephilim don’t watch TV or he just wanted to mess with Simon, Alec would go as Star Trek’s stoic and calm Spock. Warlock Magnus Bane, a man of fashion elegance, would go as a glittery genie (with a Starfleet symbol pin on his lamp to match his man).
3. The Percy Jackson Series
These half-blood campers are a tight-knit group, one that accomplishes prophecies and plays capture the flag together all in one day. So, it’s no jump to conclusion to assume that these heroes would go with a group costume for their Halloween outing. Annabeth Chase would go as the fierce yet kind warrior, Wonder Woman. Percy Jackson, lover of water, would definitely want to match Annabeth with his own Justice League Member, Aquaman. Goofy but lovable Grover Underwood would want to go as the Dark Knight but ultimately settle for comfort over coolness and let his goat legs shine by painting them green for Beast Boy. Jason Grace, son of Zeus, would definitely want to go as one of the Big Boys, and his sunshine personality would make him a perfect Superman. In Addition, Will Solace would go as Hulk and force the cute but shy and brooding boyfriend Nico Di Angelo to go as Wiccan.
4. The Raven Cycle Book Series

5. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

6. Supernatural
