    Not sure of my timelines but I think by then the reveal about family (hmm spoiler but it's been kind of revealed in this thread already!) was after 5 was made?

    Well, I think I know what I am wearing for the Halloween party that I've been invited to. Kilt plus wand and some sort of wizard robes = Aberforth Dumbledore. The hair and beard I have, although I don't have quite as much grey as the actor who played him in the final part (not his real hair though, I imagine).

    Hmm ... now where could I find a cuddly stuffed goat?

    I would not be surprised that the production company was purposely avoiding a recognizable tartan. Firstly if the charactor did not have a set clan connexion they would not want charges of misappropriation (including from people like us). Secondly, many things about HP are ment to be different from the muggles, either suggesting ancient roots or because they are wizards after all. That would include the cut as well as the weave. Thank you Matt for bringing the Welsh setts to my attention, I am already familiar with scandinavian fabrics with different setts to the warp and weft. I appreciate the inclusion of the kilt all the same. To my mind slipping one in without fanfare fosters the idea that kilts are normal male attire.

    I am currently reading Half Blood Prince (#6 in the series) and so far I can only recall one reference to a kilt in one of the earlier books. Someone was seen wearing a kilt while the characters were camping.

    That was in HP&Goblet of Fire (#4): a wizard is trying (and failing) to dress like a non-magic person: he wears a kilt and a poncho. Later in the book Mad-Eye Moody wears a kilt also.

    I just got back from seeing the movie- it's great- and I never even saw a kilt in it, even though I was looking, in the first scene with Dumbledore's brother.

    CGR and I went and saw the film again, and we both saw the kilt. It was a little hard to see because Aberforth was wearing a robe over it so you could only see it from the front. Thanks to this thread, we knew to look for it.
