Another year, another wonderful collection of World Book day costumes from our favourite celebs.

This time, Victoria Beckham has led the charge with daughter Harper Seven's dressed as everyone's favourite kick-ass witch, Hermione Granger.

Uploading a photo of Harper stood on the stairs and throwing a pose that would have the dementors quaking in their cloaks, Victoria wrote, "It’s book day!! Kisses from Hermione #harrypotter #harperseven X".

And fans were loving the imaginative costume, with one writing "Love it she’s a beaut 😘", and another saying, "😍 Very good choice 👍🏽".

We're inclined to agree.

But Vic wasn't the only celeb mum to get involved this year. Rochelle Humes smashes out of the park every year and this year was no exception, with her kids dressing up as Bing Bunny and Matilda - arguable the OG book worm.

And Coleen Rooney dressed her son Kit up as World Book Day favourite The Cat in the Hat.

But it wasn't just the kids who got to have some fun this World Book Day.

TV presenter Amanda Holden also got into the spirit by dressing up at Tinkerbell from Peter Pan and posted a hilarious video of herself rocking the costume at the office.

Respect.

Tamarind Hill hotel: family friendly review

For those not already in the know about World Book Day, it's a global initiative set up by UNESCO to encourage kids (and grown ups!) to get stuck into more books, by dressing up as their favourite characters from the best stories.

Schools up and down the country and in over 100 countries worldwide participate in the tradition, which has been running for 25 years now so these celebs are by no means the only parents to have got busy stitching, cutting and gluing (and a touch of face-painting) to create adorable costumes for their kids.

And let's be honest, it's never too early to get planning for next year, so we've compiled some videos that show you exactly how to create some prize-winning costumes for World Book Day 2021.
