Every Footstep in the Castle

The Marauder's Map was created by four Hogwarts friends known as Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs: Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter. In the third book, Prisoner of Azkaban, Fred and George Weasley give the map to Harry.

Opened with a pledge about mischief, the parchment shows everyone in Hogwarts as tiny labeled dots moving in real time, along with secret passages, including one to Honeydukes sweet shop in Hogsmeade. When told mischief is managed, it goes blank to hide its secrets.

The map reveals a shocking secret when Harry sees Peter Pettigrew's name near Ron, though Pettigrew was believed dead. The map plays key roles across later books as well.
