Vice President JD Vance marks Halloween by posting images of himself in a Harry Potter-themed costume, dressing as Professor Albus Dumbledore while holding his newborn son Alec. Several outlets describe the costume as including a Dumbledore wig and associate the theme with the family’s holiday celebration.
Other coverage adds more setting detail, noting pumpkins and autumn lights around the family in a portrait-style image. One outlet specifically frames the baby’s costume as inspired by Dobby the Elf. Across reports, the common thread is the Harry Potter inspiration and the inclusion of Alec in the Halloween photos, with outlets differing mainly in what specific character details they emphasise.
One outlet also links the Halloween framing to President Donald Trump’s holiday celebration at Mar-a-Lago, which it includes alongside the Vance-related costume story.
