Nothing’s more fun in an English literature class than to dress up as a book character! And Halloween is the best time for babies, children, pre-teens, young adults and adults to have fun with costumes 
Other than movies, books are an excellent source of inspiration for your Halloween costume. Besides, at least you won’t be another Batman, Superman, Cat Woman, waitress, pirate, Zorro or any other popular character (even though they can be pretty cool).
Let’s see, whether you want to dress up in old-fashioned costumes or futuristic
FAMOUS BOOK CHARACTERS
How about dressing up as:
MEDIEVAL MAGIC
Think “King Arthur” and “Lord of the Rings” and the world is your stage…
Men would look dashing as a valiant knight, Lancelot, a nobleman, Robin Hood, Legolas…
Or if you want to stand out of the crowd (who’d probably go as Merlin, Gandalf or Frodo the Hobbit) you could go as Gollum or an Orc and scare the daylights out of everyone! 
I know I wouldn’t mind looking as ethereal as Galadriel, Arwen or Lady Guinevere since witches would be everywhere already! After, this stay-at-home Mum already looks like fright on normal days, looking pretty is definitely a pleasant change
FUTURISTIC CHARACTERS
I’m a HUGE Star Wars fan so if I were to choose a space theme for costumes, I’d dress up as Princess Leia (although I think the ‘buns’ hairdo is absolutely hideous!), perhaps her slave costume or the regal Queen Amidala.
Babies would look SOOOO sweet as Yoda, Chewbacca or even Darth Vader.
I think boys may find a Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, a storm trooper, an astronaut or even Buzz Lightyear (from the Disney movie “Toy Story) costumes cool! How about Jar Jar Binks??? I liked him even though he wasn’t very popular…
Little girls and teenage girls could also consider Judy Jetson (from the cartoon “The Jetsons”) and have fun with a hoop skirt.
Whichever costume you choose, remember to have fun in the process of dressing up and acting out your character
