ebay = best place for wigs
(well there is trademe but i've never ordered from there, they dont have a very wide variety)
you could get a robe or something off trade me or ebay, BUT i'd try second-hand shops first for the clothes.

Also I'd get material/patterns now if you havent made costumes before, and you need to make intime for Auckgeddon
just incase you have to make stuff again ^^;

Kanekelon and heat reisistant wigs are the best types. Heat resistant is amazing, but for a short wig, kanekelon is just as good. C:

WIGS ERRYWHERE.

For Lupin you could probably op shop trawl for most of his clothes.

For the wand- http://behindinfinity.deviantart.com/journal/42571019/ This is a pretty basic way of doing it that turns out pretty awesome~ http://www.noblecollection.com/images/products/NN8298Lh.jpg this is apparently what Lupins wand looks like, from a quick google search. So you could always chuck a marble or something similar on the end before covering and etc to get the perfect circle? His is way more smooth then that tutorial result is, but hopefully I gave you some ideas?

Just as a suggestion, why don't you post a pic of Lupin in the costume you want, so its easier
for us to see and offer advice?

On a side note, I think Pyro was putting an HP group together for next year, and I'm being roped in to play Hagrid.
