The Harry Potter franchise is home to many magical objects that all play a significant part in the series. From the Sorcerer’s Stone and the Mirror of Erised to the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility that make up the Deathly Hallows, these and other mystical items have been introduced to and even used by Harry Potter and his group of friends. One of these pieces, in particular, played a prominent part in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by giving Harry some important information relating to the death of his parents and even introducing him to his godfather — the Marauder’s Map.Having been in the custody of the Weasley twins since their first year at Hogwarts, Fred and George gift Harry Potter the Marauder’s Map so he can sneak into Hogsmeade with his fellow third-year classmates. Now aided by the map, Harry is able to use it to sneak around Hogwarts’ grounds, but he is soon confronted by professors Severus Snape and Remus Lupin while having the magical map in his possession. Little does Harry know at the time how special the Marauder’s Map truly is, especially for him.The Marauder’s Map is a map of the entirety of Hogwarts. From the classrooms and the castle grounds to even secret passageways, the map is able to show all the locations that were known by its mapmakers; the Chamber of Secrets and the Room of Requirement do not appear on the map for this very reason. It also has the added feature of showing the exact location of every person (and ghost) on the school’s premises, and its ability to track them is not affected by the uses of Invisibility Cloaks, Polyjuice Potions or even an Animagus form. However, despite how precise the map is in identifying an individual, one notable flaw is its inability to differentiate between the suffixes of “senior” and “junior,” which is how Barty Crouch Jr. was able to remain disguised as Mad-Eye Moody for so long.RELATED: The Harry Potter Movies Made a Big Mistake With Mad-Eye Moody’s Death
