Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is ready for Halloween.

He showed up to a press conference on Wednesday in a Harry Potter costume, with a Gryffindor robe, wand and glasses similarly worn by the protagonist in J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels.

It was totally legit. Sherman even played the Harry Potter theme on his phone while making his way up to the podium.

Sherman was asked what was harder between quidditch, the sport wizards play on broomsticks in the Harry Potter books, or playing five quarters of football, like the Seahawks did on Sunday night in a tie against Arizona. His response was great.

Sherman said his son asked him to dress up for the press conference and the Harry Potter costume was his first and second choice.
