What could you use the Marauders Map for in real life?
Many of us have a soft spot for the Marauders Map from the Harry Potter series. But could it be useful in a real-life situation or is it exclusive to Harry?
The Marauders Map is something that fans of the Harry Potter series know well. It was a connection for Harry back to his father even if he didn’t know it when he got it from Fred and George Weasley. But more than that, it was a way of getting around Hogwarts undetected.
So, how would it work in the real world? Or what could we use it for? Well, pretty much what Harry used it for. Want to sneak out but don’t want your parents to see? The map can help! Want to avoid someone in school or at work you hate? Use the map and see where they are.
It’s basically just an easy way to avoid people and now, in 2021, that might be the best use for it. Just find empty hallways or avoid going to the most populated area for yourself and your health.
We have fun but the map itself isn’t that exciting, it’s the history behind it that has a soft spot in the hearts of fans. It was created by Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. These friends came together to make the Marauders and when we see the map, we’re reminded of that friendship and those characters we know and love so much.
Maybe it’s just something that can only exist in this magic world. Or maybe we could adapt it to use in ours but either way, we love the Marauders Map and what it represents in the Harry Potter series.
