Léon: The Professional
Leone “Léon” Montana (Jean Reno) is a professional hitman living a quiet life in New York City, sipping milk, raising houseplants, and taking jobs from the mafia. That is, until his 12-year-old neighbor Mathilda’s family is killed, leaving him to take her under his wing.
Mathilda from Leon: The Professional
In Léon: The Professional, Natalie Portman debuts as Mathilda Lando, a street-smart girl who witnesses the murder of her dysfunctional family by corrupt DEA agents. She is taken in by a hitman named Léon who trains her to use guns, and in turn she teaches him to read. How sweet.
Pip
Pool boy by day and drummer by night, Pip embraces ’90s fashion in Airheads. Combining sleeveless flannel shirts with oversized shorts, this wanna be rock star isn’t the brightest member of the Lone Rangers but at least he’s fun to recreate. When else are you going to get to wear a shell necklace without someone making fun of you?
Leatherface
In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Leatherface is a chainsaw-wielding, psychopathic murder who has a taste for human flesh. He and his inbred family hunt down victims and turn them into practical items like housebuilding materials and meat for BBQ and chili. Probably the scariest thing about Leatherface is that the fact that he was inspired by real life killer Ed Gein, who wore a mask of human skin.
Harry Potter in The Prisoner of Azkaban
At the end of his third year at Hogwarts, Harry learns the truth behind his parents’ deaths and who he can and can not trust while trying to save the beloved hippogriff, Buckbeak. While on this adventure, Harry is out of uniform and in a simple sweatshirt and tee that get a bit roughed up from all of the escaped-prisoner-chasing, dementor-fighting, and time-traveling.
Hermione Granger in The Prisoner of Azkaban
Hermione, who is typically the brains of the group, gets her hands dirty by sticking it to the Ministry of Magic and releasing the sentenced Buckbeak. Her youthful pink attire contrasts with her strong and tough spirit, especially in the popular scene where she punches Draco Malfoy in the face.
Ron Weasley in The Prisoner of Azkaban
Though Ron misses out on a chunk of the adventure due to an injury from the Whomping Willow and a mysterious dog, we do not miss out on seeing his maroon and orange getup that is impeccably ‘Weasley’.
Pennywise from It
Anyone who’s afraid of clowns is probably afraid of them because of Stephen King’s It. It is able to shape-shift and exploits the fears of its victims. It primarily takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown in order to attract its preferred prey, young children.
Ursula from The Little Mermaid
Ursula is a sea witch who helps poor unfortunate souls in The Little Mermaid by using her dark magic. Her deals come at a steep price and if you’re unable to pay her back you risk being turned into a polyp. Ursula knows the importance of body language and maintains her looks with seashell make-up and accessories.
Belle
In Beauty and the Beast, when she’s not sticking her nose in a book, you’ll find sweet Belle day dreaming about far away places. Before becoming a full-fledged princess, Belle stayed locked away in a castle chipping away at the Beast’s cold heart. If you’re lucky, you may find her dancing and singing with the cutlery and tableware.
