Witch hat
Appearance
A witch hat, in popular culture, is the style of hat characterized by a conical crown and a wide brim (like akubras and gats), worn by the following fictional characters:
- The Wicked Witch of the West, from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, 1900
- Gandalf, from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, 1937
- Orko, from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, 1983
- Minerva McGonagall, from Harry Potter (including a character that is itself such a hat), 1997
Depending upon the material in which the hat is made, the crown may regularly be observed in a flexed, bent or crumpled condition.
