Depending on your bodies healing abilities, this method may actually have to be done months in advance. Creating a realistic scar to match the legendary scar on Harry Potters head will require blunt force trauma, a friend , a quick ride to the hospital and stitches done by someone with a shaky hand.

Golf clubs, hammers and rock climbing accidents are the most likely to create the right shape for the scar.

This method IS NOT recommended as the cost of medical care far exceeds the rest of the options below.
