How the Marauders Map Was Created (+What Happened to It AFTER the War) - Harry Potter Explained

Thanks for watching folks! Views are awfully low at the moment so if you wouldn't mind chucking a LIKE on the video it would mean a lot. Thanks!

I feel like there is some flaws with your theory, how does the map know everyone In hogwarts in every generation? I think it’s because the map is made from the pages from the book of admittance. That’s how it even knows new students. And it was written by exploring the castle, that’s why it knows about the passage to the shreeking shack but not the room of requirement or chamber of secrets because the muraders never found those places.

I’ve got a question, they say a werewolf would kill his best friend & not know it when turned into a werewolf so how could he travel around hogwarts with his friends?

The reason why Jr. And Sr. Doesn't show up on the map is it's not in the name at birth. It is like a nickname. Just like how it wouldn't show anyone else's nicknames, as we all know people at the age they all are a lot of people use nicknames, especially in their group of friends even if no one else knows or just don't use them.
But yes it does have a major flaw, or should I say JKR just didn't think about it when writing the third book. It doesn't show people the time travel or Lupin would have seen two Harry's and two Hermiones in the entrance hall. One of the pair with Ron that headed straight to Hagrids and the Harry/Hermione pair waiting in the closet while the other passed. As he did state that he was watching them in the map because he thought they might try to sneak to Hagrids. So if the map was "Always Right" as Sirius stated Lupin should have see the extra pair and new something was up. If he had seen them a lot of things could have happened differently.

Why did it not show peter Pettigrew earlier?

They honestly chose the worst actors for young James and Peter. I would not associate with either of them solely based on their homely and suspicious looks.

random question.... do you think the philosephers stone give a squib magic? i mean its not as tho they have no magic at all. they can see ghostts, magical creatures, hogwarts. muggles cant see those things. especially hogwarts or the hogwarts express. but he can see all that so he must have the physiology of a witch/wizard without the secret sauce we call magic. but if the stone can grant eternal life, then is it not imparting magic to the elixer's drinker some how?

Further proof this is fantasy. Bullies don't tend to suddenly become good people.

I never understood why Harry immediately saw "Peter Pettigrew" on the map, but Fred & George were using it beforehand and would have seen the name literally right alongside their younger brother and never questioned it or said anything

Why was James known as Prongs?

Remus always had that scarr from Fenrir greyback the whole movie i never saw that scarr i only say it after he resigned when he fought buckbeak as a werewolf

BUT ME HES MENTAL

So this video just made think of something. If the map showed wormtails real name on the map why didn’t they ever ask Ron who was the Peter he was always hanging out with in the dormitory and sleeping with at night? cause seeing that on the map would have made me ask some questions

Did Harry know that the marauders map was created by his father and Lupin and Sirius and Peter Petigrew?? I know the movie said something about Lupin knowing how to work it and stuff but I don’t think the movie ever said anywhere if Harry knew about The Marauders or that his dad was in the group who created the map? Do the books ever clarify about that at all? I’ve never read them but I’m sure they do, I’d just like to know for sure.

Where do you keep getting these pictures of Peter petigrew as a young man??? They’re never shown in the movies but they look such high quality???

How was it that Peter Pettigrew, one of the biggest cowards in the series, put into Gryffindor, the house of courage? I feel like Slytherin, or even more likely, Hufflepuff, was more fitting for him!

Isn't this also interesting though because it only was able to use the information that the original Marauders gathered, but yet it knows about future students and they're whereabouts and things that change within the castle

Is poly-juice or truth potion common in Harry Potter ?

Ah, the Marauder's map. An item that would have prevented all the bad people pretending to be someone else from succeeding. I'm surprised it isn't a standard security feature in Hogwarts. Surely Dumbledore and all the powerful wizards teaching there have the ability to make their own version of it.

The Marauders' story and their map were some of my favorite parts of the third book.

I was so disappointed when they were barely talked about it in the movie. We don't even know who they were and how it relates to Harry believing he saw his father.


I was further disappointed by the following movie, and ended up not watching any of the other movies when they came out.

I finally watched them a few months ago and they're pretty good. I just needed to see them as what they were: movie adaptations.


I'm still disappointed about the Marauders not being explored though.


Cheers from France! 🍻

The map never revealed Peter in the books to Harry. It only revealed him in the movie. If you go by the books which are largely the more accepted cannon, then Peter always remained a mystery to everyone but Remus who knew Peter's animagus form.

people at the school or that the marauders knew about i can understand is on the map, but what is realy impresive is that it can put people that wasent even born when the map was made on it. thats impresive

Dude, you're drinking that Snape was bullied Kool aid a little too heavily there. James was an arrogant toerag but he wasn't the villain that everybody thinks he was.

Young snape looks like Wednesday Adams

Wait it would be so cool if the map passes down to generations and generations of Harry’s kids.

I always tought that it qas made from the pages of the book os aceptace and wrote with the ink from the quill of admitance,

I’m more than likely sure Dumbleore helped create the map. How else would James & friends could have created it without the original blueprints.

It does show someone’s full name it says Peter pettigrew etc

Cannot stand James potter!!!!!

What I heard was that filch didn't get hold of the map but marauders, in there 7th year intentionally gave it to filch. It was in a way that filch would think that he got his hands on the map with lot of effort but in reality it was the marauders intention. This was because they thought now that they're in their 7th year and wouldn't be needing the map. So they decided to give it to filch so that prankster like them if the coming generations like Fred and George could use it.

I was under the impression that the map would insult anyone who tried to read it without first solemnly swearing that they were up to no good. Not just Snape.

but how did fred and george know the password??

Is there any information on where Tom Riddle lived between years of school?

How could 4 bullies like the Marauders be in Gryffindor?

" Masters Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs offer their complements to Professor Snape and advise him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business!!!!!" 🐺🐕🦌🐀

I read or heard somewhere that the map couldn't have been used by anyone else after the Battle of Hogwarts because Lupin had died in the fight. How is it that James was able to use it if the map ceased to function after the death of its last original maker?

But what does the Homongulus (?) charm do? It's an interesting video, even if you didn't explain it completely.

Why were they friends with peter? They never really explain that. It just seems out of character. For 2 of the most popular kids to befriend him.

Peter was at fault for all of their deaths. Had he not brought voldy back, the other 2 wouldn't have died like they did.

Not related to this, but please answer who knows:

How could Dumbledore not even consider betraying Grindelwald without the bloodpact nearly killing him.

But Grindelwald consciously recruited the Credence to kill Dumbledore. Why didn't the bloodpact affect him?

Thanks!

Mischief managed!

The Marauders reminds me of the F4... 🤔

Một bài hát rất hoài niệm , nhớ những ngày bồng bột của tuổi trẻ, chút kỷ niệm của tình yêu, lời chia tay vội vàng đúng như cái bồng bột ấy. Đức Phúc cover lại bài hát này tâm trạng quá !

Wonderful video! I didn't know the way they created the map, that's why the video was so interested to me. Can you make videos about the spells used for the making of the various artifacts/magical objects in HP Universe pls?

I mean you definitely deserved it. Been watching for 2 years now and almost every vid watched. Keep up the great content and take a break some time. I love the what happened after the deathly hallows vids and the explanation vids. Congrats of half a million :)

I think I have an answer as to why Snape taught Harry Occulmancy, If you would like to hear it.

That map was super vital, vital indeed.

My question is how did Fred and George find out the passwords to activate the map. or even know it was special when they stole it from Filch?
