My 6 year old is into Harry Potter. But the costume he wanted for Halloween was "Draco Malfoy, as a Death Eater". Now I'm pretty sure that Draco never dresses up as a Death Eater in the books, but that's what he wanted!
So, the pieces to this costume are all pretty much homemade, recycled from other stuff, easy, and cheap!
Here are the elements. Any or all of these elements could be used to create many Harry Potter characters.
1: Hogwarts/Death Eater robe from old t-shirts.
2: Death Eater mask
3: Slytherin (or any Hogwarts House ) scarf, made from comfy old sweatshirts.
And of course, some finishing touches like a broom and a dark mark and a wand...

There are some great and way complex instructables out there on death eater masks. This is the quick and dirty method.
1: Get a mask. I found a foam skeleton mask at Family Dollar.
2: Spray paint black, spray paint silver, leaving some of the black showing, until you get a nice old metal look.
3: Draw on designs with a sharpie marker.
Some hints - get inspiration on the designs from the web. I liked making the mouth as shown to give it a real 'death eater' look, and camouflage the original skeleton. I also cut out vertical slits for the mouth as well. (More hints and info here: http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2011/10/make-a-death-eater-mask-from-a-1-skeleton-mask/)

He'll need a bit more hair gel to play Draco on Halloween, though.
