Some Unique Idea's
1.
Aragog, Hagrid's Spider
*
You can dress as Aragog -- Hagrid's large, blind, pet spider who died after a long life crawling around Hogwarts. When Tom Riddle released Slytherin's monster -- the Basilisk -- upon the wizardry school, Aragog was accused of doing the damage and thought to be the monster. To dress up as Aragog, dress as a large, black spider with eight legs. This costume is a great accompaniment to almost any character, especially Hagrid.
The Mermaid
*
In "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Harry sits in a bath, trying to decipher a series of clues about the tasks of the Triwizard Tournament -- many of which he is given clues about from the Mermaid in the painting in the Perfect's bathroom. Dress as the mermaid by wearing a fake mermaid fin and a bathing suit top. Pile hair on the head and attach it up and apply glamorous makeup to play up features. Because the mermaid is in a painting, consider constructing a fake frame to insinuate that this costume is the walking painting.
Mr. Ollivander
*
Mr. Ollivander is the wand store owner and constructor of both the wand that is Harry's and the wand that is Lord Voldemort's. To dress as Mr. Ollivander, wear a suit that's maybe a size too large with a cape and white-collared shirt. Temporarily color your hair white and style it to stick up and out, similar to Albert Einstein's. Wear a short, black scarf around your neck and tie it loosely. Go one step further by carrying a few homemade wands, offering them to other characters -- helping them choose their wand.
Tom, the Bartender
*
Tom is the innkeeper and bartender of The Leaky Cauldron, a pub and inn for wizards located near Charring Cross that serves as a gateway between the Muggle world and wizard world. To dress as Tom, put on a cap that helps create the look of a shaved head or head with no hair. Attach pointed ears and long fingernails. Tom has a hunchback and wears all black. This is a great costume for any party that requires a spirited bartender.

Stuffed Animals
Another idea is to maybe get a stuffed animal to help as a prop... maybe an owl would be great. :)
Screaming Baby
This image made me think of the little screaming babies they pulled out of the dirt in herbology. Maybe wear Brown leather-ish clothing, and a headband/hat that looks like the leaves. Or maybe get some brown cloth and make it look wrinkle-y.
