US Vice President JD Vance dressed as Albus Dumbledore for Halloween 2026, posting a short video of himself in costume while holding one of his children dressed as Dobby the house-elf.
In the clip shared on X, Vance appears on a decorated porch wearing a long silver-gray wig, a matching pointed hat, and a shiny silver robe with ornate trim.
He holds a baby wearing a knitted hat with large ears, resembling the character Dobby from the Harry Potter series.

Vance says: “Vice President Dumbledore here with little Dobby the Elf wishing you a Happy Halloween. Have fun. Be safe. Eat a lot of candy.”
Vance had previewed the costume the day before.
In comments reported from a Fox News appearance, he explained: “I actually already have my costume. You know, my kids are really into Harry Potter, and so I’m going as Dumbledore.”
He added with self-deprecation: “If you think about it, with the beard, the white hair, it’s kind of like fat, old JD, so I feel very comfortable in my Dumbledore costume.”
The choice continues a pattern of lighthearted, family-oriented Halloween posts.
In 2025, Vance leaned into an online meme by wearing a curly brown wig that exaggerated his appearance, pairing it with a playful reference to a viral “say thank you” moment from earlier that year.
