So, Wizarding Robes
I saw this post by @iamnmbr3 and @kittenjammer talking about wizarding fashion and I wanted to talk about this for a while, so I'm going to give my own two cents on it based on fashion history. I love history in general, but fashion history and historical architecture are two I’m incredibly passionate about. So, here we go (post with a lot of pictures ahead):
When I read the books and they mentioned unisex “robes” which function like dresses in a way (as you don’t have to be wearing trousers beneath them:
James whirled about; a second flash of light later, Snape was hanging upside down in the air, his robes falling over his head to reveal skinny, pallid legs and a pair of graying underpants.
(OotP, 647)
And described as being very colorful and billowing, often accompanied by a pointed wizard hat, it was clear to me JKR was trying to invoke the image of the classic fantasy wizard robe:
Especially when it comes to Dumbledore.
The thing is, this style is based on a real historical period and historical styles of the medieval period in Europe.
Medieval Europian Robes
When I'm thinking about the "classic fantasy wizard look" the first historical period that comes to my mind is the 15th century and I'll illustrate why.
Spesificly, the 14th and 15th centuries houppelande. It was a long over garment that looked kinda like a dress with wide, flaring sleeves available for both men and women in various shapes, cuts, and even patterns. Here are examples of some houppelandes:
(As you can also see, early 15th-century fashion comes built-in with silly hats! Just like wizards)
In the 15th century you also have a wide array of cuts of cloaks (and even more silly hats!):
Along with surcoats, that contrary to their name, weren't just for knights to signify on their armor the house they serve:
These 15th-century garments are exactly like wizard fashion is described in the books: billowing robes, colorful and eye-catching, and accompanied by silly hats.
The thing is, all these garments are from the high medieval period and as wizards broke away from muggles only when the Statute of Secrecy was enacted, I'd expect their fashion to follow the muggle trend up to that point and then start diverging. Even the most pure-blooded wizarding families of the modern day, like the Malfoys, integrated with muggle circles up until the Statue of Secrecy, something that would've forced them to dress like the muggles at the time to blend in better.
As the Status of Secrecy was first enacted in 1692, it's time to talk about:
Late 17th Century Fashion
Now, while the high middle ages in Europe had everyone wearing essentially wizard robes and silly hats on the regular, the Statue of Secrecy was enacted much later. Fashion in the 17th century was drastically different from the earlier one mentioned above.
In the late 17th century, this is the kind of dress I'd expect from women in England:
And this is what I'd expect from men:
Which is very different from what is described but would've been the historical basis the wizards would work from.
So what do I think wizarding fashion is actually like?
Well, since the books are in the 1990s and wizards don't really live in a vacuum we know some later influences in fashion did make it in. So, I think wizarding fashion is an odd mix of 15th-century and late 17th-century fashions updated to the time period the wizard grew up in, hence distinct fashion changes between generations like we see in the muggle world.
We see these distinct generational fashion changes with characters like Agusta Longbottom who wears a Vulture hat. These sorts of hats with real birds on them were a thing historically. They were quite fashionable in the late Victorian era, which is when Agusta would've been a child if she's around Dumbledore's age:
Fudge is described as wearing a Bowler Hat, a kind of hat that started catching on in the late 19th century but was still a staple in menswear into the early 20th century, hence indicating Fudge's age.
Ron's yule ball dress robes are described as old-fashioned, again indicating fashions in the wizarding world change at a similar rate to the muggle one. Note that since the 17th century, fashion has been changing quite rapidly and by the 18th century fast fashion where you need to buy new garments each "season" has already started becoming a thing. With all that, I think wizard fashion indeed changes just as rapidly as the muggle one.
Now, that's great, and all, but, what would that odd mish-mash fashion even look like?
Well, I made a few very quick sketches as concept examples for what casual wizarding fashion in the UK might look like if we're working off historical references:
(not my best pieces, it's just to get the concept across)
Note that Wizengamot robes and other formal professional wear would probably be older in style and closer to 17th-century fashions.

When you mention how Castle Dimitrescu could appear in that Europian history book . I raise this one,there is a note in the castle that mentions Alcina's winemaking and that her wine is known . So that leaves me to believe that Alcina and her castle are probably a landmark in History in RE universe . Maybe,thanks to the Duke,people in business and architecture can visit her castle and do interviews with her(Maybe MM allows them,so she could cover up everything),she wouldn't eat them
I do find it odd sometimes, I mean it seems that the Village is known to some outsiders (mostly through the Duke selling Alcina's wine), but the game also hammers home the point that Miranda keeps the village cut off from society? maybe they can send stuff out (like Alcina's wine) but they don't ever receive anything back (besides money)? even that doesn't really make much sense as someone must want to visit there at some point. Regina Rosie, which is what Ethan and "Mia" were about to drink before Chris shows up, is clearly shown to exist both in the castle (as it was made there) and in the outside world demonstrating there must be at least some outsider knowledge of the village. Another thing I want to mention is the paintings in the castle, they could've been done by Alcina herself or someone from outside the village, again the game doesn't specify so we're left to just speculate really. On the subject of people doing interviews with her, that actually sounds like a pretty funny idea. I can imagine the interviewer asking her really pointed questions about her height or the ingredients in her wine and getting really vague and suspicious answers as she tries to hide the bad shit she gets up to 😆

ధ్వనిని ఉపయోగించి కాలాన్ని తెరువగలమా? చరిత్రను బద్దలు కొట్టే పూర్వీకుల సృష్టి!
Hey guys ఈ రోజు మనం కాంబోడియాలో ఉన్న ప్రియా విహార్ అనే 1000 సంవత్సరాల పురాతన గుడిలో ఉన్నాము, ఇక్కడ మనం ఒక వింతైన రాక్ కటింగ్ టెక్నాలజీ గురించి చూడబోతున్నాము. దీన్ని మీకు చూపించడానికి నేను చాలా excitedగా ఉన్నాను ఎందుకంటే ఇలాంటి ఒక రాక్ కటింగ్ టెక్నాలజీ ఉందనేది నాకే చాలా ఆశ్చర్యంగా ఉంది, ఇలాంటి టెక్నాలజీ ని మీరు ఇంతకు ముందు ఎక్కడ ఎప్పుడు చూసి ఉండరని అనుకుంటున్నాను. ఈ హాల్లో ఉన్న ceilingని చూస్తున్నారా కదా?
ఈ సీలింగ్ యొక్క షేప్ ని చూడండి, అది ఒక ఆర్చి లాగా ఉంది కదా, దీన్ని architecture లో మనము వాల్ట్ అని కూడా అంటాం. కానీ ఈ రాళ్లను చూస్తుంటే ఏదో వింత దాగి ఉన్నట్టుగా ఉంది, ఈ ceiling యొక్క పై భాగంలో ఉన్న రాళ్లను జాగ్రత్తగా గమనించండి. ఇది చాలా అద్భుతంగా ఉంది కదా ఎందుకంటే ఈ arch shape అన్ని సాండ్స్టోన్తో తయారయిన రాతి blocks. పాతకాలపు స్తపతిలు ఈ sandstone ముక్కలను తీసుకొని వాటిని ఇలా bend చేసి ఆర్చిలాగా మార్చారు.
ఈ పైన ఉన్న రాళ్లను key stones అని అంటారు, ఈ హల్లో ఉన్న key stonesని రబ్బర్ ముక్కల్లాగ బెండ్ అయి ఉన్నాయి. ఈ పిక���చర్ ని మనం అడ్డంగా తిప్పి చూపించినప్పుడు ఈ ఆర్చెస్ ఎంత అద్భుతంగా ఒంపులు తిరిగి ఉన్నాయో మనం clearగా చూడవచ్చు. అయితే ఇది నిజంగా అంత ప్రత్యేకమైనదా? ఇంతకు ముందు దీన్ని ఎవరూ చేసింది లేదా? చాలా పురాతనమైన నాగరికతల్లో ఇలాంటి archesలను use చేశారని మనం చూస్తూనే వచ్చాం.
In fact, రోమన్లు ఇంచుమించు 2000 సంవత్సరాలకు ముందే ఈ archలను ఉపయోగించారు. కానీ ఇప్పుడు మీకు ఒక పెద్ద surprice నేను ఇవ్వబోతున్నాను. ఇప్పుడు మనం scotlandలో ఈ మధ్యనే కనిపెట్టబడిన ఒక underground సొరంగాన్ని చూద్దాం, ఇది 300 సంవత్సరాలకు ముందు కట్టబడింది, అంటే ఈ ప్రియ్ విహీర్ గుడి తర్వాతే కట్టారు, దీన్ని మీరు first చూసినప్పుడు, ఈ arches అన్ని బాగుందనే కదా అనుకుంటున్నారు, కానీ పైన ఉన్న ఈ block లను జాగ్రత్తగా గమనించండి.
చూస్తున్నారు కదా, ఇక్కడ ఉన్నది ఒక key stone కాదు, రెండు కీస్టోన్లు ఉన్నాయి, ఈ blocksలు వంపులు తిరిగి లేవు, కానీ దీన్ని కట్టిన బిల్డర్స్ ఇది ఒంపులు తిరిగినట్టు కనపడేలా ఈ ఆర్చిని నిర్మించారు, కానీ ఇవి చిన్న చిన్న వంపులతో ఉన్న రెండు rectangular blocks మాత్రమే. ఇది గ్రీస్లో ఉన్న పురాతనమైన ఒక ఒలింపిక్ స్టేడియం, ఇక్కడ కనిపిస్తున్న ఈ ఆర్చ్ ని చూడండి, ఇది కూడా చూడడానికి ఒక చక్కని వంపు తిరిగిన ఆర్చిలాగా ఉంది, కానీ జూమ్ చేసి చూస్తే ఇదంతా ఒకే రాయితో చేసిన ఆర్చ్ కాదని, వంపుగా ఉన్న ఒక shape ని మాత్రం చూపించే పేర్చి పెట్టబడిన rectangular blocks అని మనకు clearగా తెలుస్తుంది.
నేను ఇలాంటి చాలా ఆర్చ్ లను vaults లను, పురాతనమైన medieval europian sites లలో చూసాను, కానీ ఇంత వరకు ఏఒక్క మెగాలిథిక్ కట్టడాలలో నిజమైన ఆర్చ్లు లేవని నేను ఆశ్చర్యపోయాను, అయితే టాప్ మోస్ట్ బ్లాక్లు ఏవీ వాస్తవానికి నిజమైన వంపులు కావా? కానీ ఇక్కడ కాంబోడియాలోని ఒక మారుమూల placeలలో కొండ పైన ఉంటున్న పురాతనమైన హిందువులు ఎలా రాళ్లని వంచి నిజమైన perfect అయిన ఆర్చులుగా మార్చారో కదా. పాతకాలాన్ని మర్చిపోండి, ఇప్పుడు ఈ రోజు మనం ఇలాంటి arche లను తయారు చేయగలమా?
ఇది గ్రీస్ దేశంలో ఉన్న ఒక పురాతనమైన vault, ఈపైన ఆర్చిలో ఉన్న blocks కింద పడిపోయాయి, so వాటిని రిపేర్ చేసి కొత్త stone block లను అక్కడ అమర్చారు, కానీ వాటిని మళ్లీ చూడండి, ఈ కొత్త blocks కూడా చాలా చిన్న వంపులతో ఉన్న rectangular stones ఎహ్. ఎందుకలా? వంగి ఉండడమైన లేదా వంపుగా ఉండడమైన రాయిలో create చేయడం ఎందుకు అంత కష్టంగా ఉంది? ఎందుకంటే దేన్నైనా నేరుగా cut చేయడం చాలా ఈజీ, దానికి ఆ వస్తువు కంటే కొంచం గట్టిగ ఉన్న పరికరాన్ని తీసుకుంటే సరిపోతుంది.
చూడండి ఇది ఒక చెక్క, దీని పైన ��ేను ఒక గీత గీసి రంపం లాంటి గట్టి పరికరాలతో దీన్ని cut చేయవచ్చు. ఎందుకంటే ఈ రంపం అనేది చక్క కంటే గట్టిగా ఉండే ఒక మెటీరియల్ మనకు తెలుసు. So ఇప్పుడు మనం చెయ్యాల్సిందేంటంటే, ఈ చెక్క ముక్కను తీసుకొని దీనిపై నేరుగా ఒక గీతను గీసిన తర్వాత దీన్ని straight line లో easy గా cut చేసుకోవచ్చు. అందువల్ల ఇది ఒక problem మే కాదు, చూస్తున్నారు కదా, నేనిప్పుడు ఆల్ మోస్ట్ చివరి దాక వచ్చేసాను. ఇప్పుడు చేయాల్సిందల్లా చివరి వరకు కట్ చేయడమే.
చాలా పర్ఫెక్ట్ గా స్ట్రెయిట్ గా కట్ చేయాలి. చుడండి గైస్, ఎలాంటి complecate అయిన toolsలు లేకుండా ఎలాంటి machines లేకుండా నా చేతులతో ఒక రంపంతో నేను సులభంగా నేరుగా cut చేసేసాను. కాబట్టి మీరు rectangle లేదా square బ్లాక్లను తయారు చేయాలనుకున్నప్పుడు ఇది పెద్ద సమస్య కాదు. కానీ మీరు ఒక ఆర్చ్ నో లేదా అర్ధ వృతాన్నో లేకపోతే ఏదైనా ఖచ్చితమైన curve నో తయారు చేయవలసి వచ్చినప్పుడు, అది చేయడం కష్టం మాత్రమే కాదు, వాస్తవానికి అది అసాధ్యం కూడా,
ఎందుకంటే మీరు మీ చేతులతో ఒక వంపులో మళ్లీ మళ్లీ అదే కదలికను repeat చేయను కుదరదు. అలా చేస్తే అది flop అవుతుంది, ఇంకా దాన్ని cover చేయడానికి నేను వేరేదేదైనా tricks ని use చేయాల్సిందుంటుంది. ఎందుకలా? ఎందుకంటే, మీ చేతులతో ఒక curve నైనా లేదా ఒక arch నైనా మళ్లీ మళ్ళీ ఒకే విధంగా కదల్చలేము. దానికి computerized mechanism తో కూడిన ఇప్పటి CNC modern machine లాంటి ఒక advanced machine అవసరం, దానితో మాత్రమే ఇలాంటి perfect అయిన arch ని cut చేసి తయారుచేయగలం.
