Harry Potter: The Marauder's Map book

The book is divided into ten parts and offers a detailed exploration of the school of witchcraft and wizardry. You will be taken around every part of Hogwarts, from the common rooms to the secret places, by way of the classrooms, the towers, the hospital wing, the Forbidden Forest and the Quidditch pitch. This exploration is done through photos from the films accompanied by descriptions that retrace the key moments of the saga and reveal information about the iconic characters. Unfortunately, the narration is quick and basic. The texts do not teach you much, even if you will enjoy getting an overview of the owls in the Owlery or the objects received during breakfast. The book's text content leaves something to be desired.

However, the magic is very much there thanks to the flaps on the pages. By unfolding them, you gradually reveal a reproduction of the Marauder's Map with the names of the rooms in English. This is the moment to draw your magic wand and use it to reveal the comings and goings of the different characters. The effect is more than captivating, especially in the dark. It will amaze the youngest readers, who can also discover an even more interactive aspect of the book. The wand unscrews to become an invisible ink pen and lets you personalize the map or create your own from scratch on a blank page. The biggest fans will no doubt be disappointed to see that the wand is just a piece of plastic producing a blue light. Nevertheless, younger readers will be swept away by the enchantment. Through this book, dive back into the bewitching mysteries of Hogwarts and experience the magic of the Marauder's Map like never before.
