Halloween is on the horizon, and Richard Sherman is celebrating early.

During his press conference on Wednesday afternoon, the Seahawks cornerback dressed in Harry Potter robes. He held the wand of Albus Dumbledore, and the Harry Potter-theme song blared as he answered questions.

His son, Rayden, apparently asked Richard to dress up with him this year, and he didn't miss a beat.

From Seahawks.com:

“You’ve got to bring your own music, this is a serious occasion,” Sherman said. “It’s Halloween. My son told me he wanted me to wear something, so it’s happening. It’s happening.”

The media responded accordingly, asking Sherman a number of questions related to the Wizarding World:

Q: Favorite book in the series?

Sherman: “Order of the Phoenix, I think that’s the best one.”

Q: How did that costume come about?

Sherman: “When you’re a wizard like we are out here, sometimes you have to show it to the Muggles out in the world. We’ve got a lot of wizards — my son’s a wizard, Earl Thomas does some magical things, Michael Bennett is Black Santa but he’s also a wizard — so you know, you just have a good time. I just went to Harry Potter land, I felt like that was home.”

Q: How long after Sunday’s game did it take for you to feel human again?

Sherman: “Well, I’m definitely a wizard, so if you’re asking if I feel like a Muggle again, I don’t. But I started feeling better probably around late yesterday, last night, just getting more fluids in me and more energy, legs started getting back under me.”

If you live in the Seattle area, be on the lookout for Sherman as he goes trick-or-treating disguised as a wizard:

“He’s going to have a mask on, I’m going to have this on, nobody's going to have any idea,” Sherman said with a smile as he reached by his side for a pair of round Harry Potter-esque wire glasses. “This is all you’ve got to do. Clark Kent did it. You’ve just got to put the glasses on. Bam, no longer Richard Sherman. Can’t even tell anymore, right?”
