Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

Severus Snape's near-black robes, the look Alan Rickman kept through the Harry Potter films from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) onward, shown at Harry Potter: The Exhibition in Barcelona in 2024. A long, high-buttoned frock coat with a column of tiny buttons, narrow cuffs and a heavy gown over the top: buttoned to the chin, nothing loose, nothing warm. It is the costume of a man who gives nothing away, and it moves like a bat's wing when he turns.
