Who are the Death Eaters?

Formed in the years following the fall of the dark wizard Grindelwald, the Death Eaters are a group of wizards and witches who are followers of Lord Voldemort. They are convinced, like their master, of the superiority of so-called “pureblood” individuals over Muggle-born wizards and witches (born of parents without magic power like Hermione Granger), and aim to establish, through the through the Ministry of Magic, a new order based on fear and terror. 

The Death Eaters recognize and communicate with each other thanks to the Dark mark, in the shape of a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth, which they all wear on their left forearm. It is a distinctive sign created by Voldemort in order to be able to summon his followers instantly, or to allow them to call him.

A Death Eater’s classic outfit includes a black hooded robe and mask.

We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

Of course, you could always get a pre-made temporary tattoo, but if you’d prefer to draw the mark by yourself, follow the steps outlined in this video. Using a black pen and pencil, start by drawing a small skull on your forearm. Slowly outline the snake coming out of the skull, making it as elaborate or as simple as you want.

With this realistic Dark Mark and your dark outfit, you’re sure to terrify everyone this Halloween with this Death Eaters costume.
