The Marauders’ Map

14 January 2022

This amazing artefact represents the crossroads of wizardry and conjuring. The Marauders’ Map from the 2004 movie ‘Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban’ the third in the series, allowed Harry to chart the movement of everyone in Hogwarts. The movie’s director turned to magic consultant and member of The Magic Circle Paul Kieve to devise a way for the map to fold up by itself.  Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter himself, became a keen hobbyist magician, taught by Kieve, and privately visited the headquarters in 2004. Several members have advised directors and actions on stage and screen throughout the history of the Society.
