I Soleomly Swear That I Am Up To No Good...

Hello Potterheads!

I have already finished two of my seven exams - both English. It dawned on me that many of you, being from different parts of the world, wouldn't really know/understand what the HSC is. In simple terms,the HSC is equivalent to the N.E.W.Ts.

Anyway, now that that has been cleared out of the way, let me introduce you to another item in my collection, and one that you can have too!

As I have already mentioned, I have two Marauders Maps - one is the official Warner Brothers Map and the other is a downloaded one (for my cousin and friends).

To get the Official Map go to the Warner Bros website here.

The second map I found while trolling the internet for ways to make props for my cousin. I'm not sure how I came to find this site, but I found it all the same. A women named Britta Peterson had designed a Marauders Map that showed the main areas of Hogwarts, was easy to print out and easy to fold together. She was even nice enough to include the folding directions in the PDF file! Here is the link to her website.
 

While searching for more prop replicas, especially on deviantART [I suggest you sign up and follow some of the amazing artists that replicate and share some of their prop creations and just general art!] I found a similar map that had used Britta's folding design and some of the details to make a map. Here is that version. I am yet to print and fold the second version, but I will so that I can compare which one I want to use for my cousin and my friends.

If you want a larger map with the movie detail, this map may be more for you. I haven't made it but I may in the future.

So that is my Marauders Maps. I hope that it has inspired you to either buy the official copy or make your own!

P.S. Which item in my collection do you want me to go over next (or as soon as possible)? Comment below!
