Zara shoppers have been sent into a frenzy after discovering an outfit that bears a striking resemblance to the beloved Harry Potter character, Dobby. The ensemble, featuring a beige, creased midi frock and a matching jumper, both priced at £49.99, quickly went viral on TikTok, attracting over 1.3 million likes.
The resemblance was so uncanny that many users couldn’t help but draw comparisons to the house-elf’s signature style. Dobby, known for his oversized ears, verdant gaze, and penchant for wearing mismatched garments like pillowcases and socks, was instantly recognizable in the Zara outfit.
TikTok users flooded the comments section with humorous reactions, referencing Dobby’s iconic line, “Master has given Dobby a sock,” and drawing parallels to the character’s unique fashion sense.
Some joked about the practicality of such a “wrinkled” look, suggesting it could be a solution to avoid ironing altogether. Others, however, imagined the reaction of their parents upon seeing them sporting such an unconventional ensemble.
Zara has been contacted for comment on the unexpected viral sensation and its connection to the wizarding world. This unexpected fashion crossover has certainly added a dose of magic to the world of online shopping and sparked conversations about the enduring popularity of the Harry Potter franchise.
