Harry's Wizard's Chess Sweater from Sorcerer's Stone
During Harry's first Christmas spent at Hogwarts, Ron teaches him to play Wizard's Chess. While this skill will come in handy later in the movie, I fell in love with Harry's green cabled sweater - the exact same sweater as the one he wears when he encounters the Mirror of Erisad and also meets Voldemort for the first time!

Harry Potter's Red Cabled Sweater from Sorcerer's Stone
Worn several times in The Sorcerer's Stone, Harry's red cabled sweater is just about perfection. Worn both when he encounters the Mirror of Erisad, and also when he fights Voldemort the first time, this red cabled sweater sees much wear and tear, obviously loved dearly.
A pattern for this sweater was written out in the book Charmed Knits, and is sized to fit a wide variety of people.

Quidditch Sweaters
Who knew how hard it would be to get a still shot of the Quidditch sweaters worn in The Sorcerer's Stone?! After much searching, this is the best screen capture I could find, as most were blurry due to Quidditch action.
Lack of photos aside, the Quidditch sweater is another perfect everyday sweater featured in the Harry Potter movies. All-over ribbing and block striping set this sweater apart, while the construction and fit mean it can be worn by both men and women.
Several patterns for this sweater exist, in both DK and worsted weight.
Quidditch Sweater, by Anne Bergeron (Charmed Knits)
Quidditch Sweater, by Ashwinder (free pattern!)
Harry Potter Replica Quidditch Sweater, by Greg Steiner (Ravelry purchase)
Most people, if they've made this sweater, have used the Charmed Knits pattern, but there are two others available for those looking for a different version. You can also find several patterns for mini sweaters modeled after this sweater, but I have not linked to them.

Harry Potter Quidditch Practice Sweater, Sorcerer's Stone

The first time we see Harry in hand knits of any kind is the sweater he wears when Oliver Wood begins to teach him about Quidditch. Harry's navy blue sweater features a large cable motif running from each shoulder down the length of the sweater both front and back, as well as the same cable motif on each sewn in sleeve. Separating the cable motifs is a section of seed stitch on both the front and back center sections of the sweater.
There is no "official" pattern for this sweater, which is a surprise to me. Patterns exist for other sweaters worn in this first movie, and this sort of cable and seed stitch idea seems like one a pattern writer would jump on. I'm hoping someone will decide to write this pattern up, and then I can include it here!
