When did cosplaying for WBD become a thing? In my day 🧓🏽, Scholastic would just set up a stall in the library and we’d redeem our £1 book token. I worked in kidswear up to 2016 and every year it was parents panicking last minute about their kids’ costumes. It became more about the cosplay than reading.
