Next, an observer (let's call him Professor Snape) stands before Harry at a specific location. At that location, instead of seeing Harry wearing a hooded raincoat, Snape sees right through the cloak, making Harry appear to be invisible.

Although occurrences in fairy tales are rare, [5] the cloak of invisibility appears in the German tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses (KHM 133) and in The King of the Golden Mountain (KHM 92) in Grimm's Fairy Tales. [6] The cloak in German fairy tales may be traceable to the tarnkappe ("cloak of concealment"), [5] such as the one that the hero Sîfrit (Siegfried) acquires from the dwarf Alberich in the Middle High German epic Nibelungenlied. [7] The Grimms clarify that Sîfrit's kappe is a cape that covers not just the head but enshrouds the body, though in later times tarnkappe came to be regarded as a cap of invisibility. The tarnkappe (or tarnkeppelin [8]) is also owned by the dwarf king who is the title character in Laurin. In different passages or variant manuscripts of these works, the tarnkappe is also referred to as the tarnhût (mod. Ger. Haut "skin") [7] [9] or hehlkappe (mod. Ger. hehlen "to hide"). [10] [11] Modern adaptations [ edit ] When asked in an interview if the Hallows were based on any real-world myth or fairy tale, J. K. Rowling responded with, "Perhaps the Pardoner's Tale, by Chaucer." [4] Smith's metamaterials proved the method. The recipe to invisibility lay in adapting it to different waves.

The Invisibility Cloak first made its appearance in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, now you can own your very own Wizarding World-inspired garment that will make it look like anyone or anything has disappeared before your eyes. The Invisibility Cloak, developed by Wow! Stuff in collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, allows you to recreate iconic scenes from the Harry Potter films. Alastor Moody owned two Invisibility Cloaks, lending ones to Mundungus Fletcher [15] and Sturgis Podmore. [5] Barty Crouch Snr owned a cloak as well, hiding Barty Crouch Jnr under one when helping him escape Azkaban. He was then forced to wear the cloak in the house when he was controlled by Barty Crouch Snr under the Imperius Curse. Barty Jnr would make use of this cloak when he returned to Lord Voldemort's services, keeping himself hidden to intercept and assassinate his father. [4] Opie, Iona; Opie, Peter (1992) [1974].

Cloaks of invisibility also exist in the Harry Potter series of novels by J.K. Rowling. [12] Harry Potter uses a Cloak of Invisibility, that was passed down to him by his father, to sneak into forbidden areas of his school and remain unseen. It is later revealed that this specific cloak was once owned by Death himself, making it one of the Deathly Hallows. [ citation needed] In the 20th century, the Cloak eventually ended up in the hands of Henry Potter, a Wizengamot member, who passed it to his eldest son Fleamont. Fleamont was the father of James Potter, Harry Potter's father. [3] James used the Cloak of Invisibility in many of his misdeeds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and kept it afterwards. Around the time that Lord Voldemort was hunting the Potters for their son, the Cloak of Invisibility came to the attention of Albus Dumbledore when James showed him the Cloak. Dumbledore, who had searched for the Deathly Hallows in youth, asked to borrow the Cloak from James to study it. After James was killed, the Cloak was left in Dumbledore's possession. [4] Coincidentally, the Deathly Hallows has a similar parallel to the Imperial Regalia of Japan, which consists of the three sacred treasures: the sword (representing valour like the Elder Wand), the mirror (representing wisdom like the Cloak of Invisibility), and the jewel (representing benevolence like the Resurrection Stone). While it shields the wearer from sight and cannot be harmed by any class of spell aimed at it, the Cloak does not act as a shield against spells, curses, or hexes, aimed at the user, as Harry is affected by the Full Body-Bind Curse curse twice while under The Cloak in 1996-1997.
