Trust us, we're all for books turned movies, but how often is it that the movie world actually gets your favorite characters right? Let's face it, the best part about reading the book version is using your imagination anyway, right?! Whether you picture Luna Lovegood in a silver metallic dress by ASOS, or Claudia Kishi in a rainbow pizza choker (she did always have the best snacks), directors won't always agree. That's why we're digging deep into the modern-day closets of our favorite movie characters and hooking you up with pieces they'd wear today!
