These could be the latest recruits at Dogwarts, or they may even be characters in the Philosopher's Bone.

Owners of these dogs have taken pictures of them dressed up as Harry Potter or characters from the books and posted them online.

While the hero of the JK Rowling books is by far the most parodied of the characters with his distinctive round glasses and lightning scar, a couple of others make it into the collection.

Harry and Ron? With his distinctive orange hair, this dog looks like Harry's sidekick Ron Weasley


One of them is given an orange wig, clearly a reference to Harry's best friend Ron Weasley.

Another has clearly put in a lot of effort with its owner creating two heads so that he looks like Fluffy, the three-headed dog that guards the Philosopher's Stone.

Quidditch has also been included in the collection of images with one dog holding a branch that could pass for a broomstick.
