Recently, I have been gathering as much info as humanly possible about the marauders map as I am trying to make my own. By doing this, I have disscovered something. Either there are 2 different different maps, or I'm having a major silly moment  Here are the different maps: 1.  2.  3.  Number one is obvisouly a simple version used in the flash intro on the website, but it does give a fair idea of how it folds etc... Number 2 is from the scene right at the end of the POA where Lupin is packing up. You see the map fold itself up. It looks similar to the website version, but if you look closely, there are 2 extra flaps of paper on the underside of the map. Number 3 is from the scene where Harry is reading it in bed and notices peter. As you can see, in the map there are several more flaps/folds. The part of the map visable in this picture comes from the second 2 folds to the far left of picture #2. But on that pic, the folds aren't there  I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but it's really bugging me. If anyone can shed some light, I'd be most gratefull!!   |

I think the map has millions of fold depending which part you look at. This is no ordinary muggle map  |

so, are we to assume (being a wizards map) that alot of the folds just 'appear'?
If this is the case, I'm gonna have a hard time trying to make my own, lol >.<

When you think about the number of floors, corridors, and towers that make up Hogwarts, plus the school grounds, Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade, Dawn is right. The folds and flaps would have to appear when needed. Otherwise, the map would be so big, it would be difficult to carry! Have you seen the Hogwarts Atlas section at the HP Lexicon? It might help you plan out your map. http://www.hp-lexicon.org/atlas/hogwarts/atlas-h.html |

Good luck with your map Luluhime!  This really sounds complicated. When you do finally come up with it, be sure to post it. |

It's already causing some problems...I need to find the right fonts to use. I have a few that come very close, but I doubt I'll ever find an exact match >.< I'm going for a simple version at the moment, similar to the one you see on lupins desk at the end of POA. I'll worry about the 4,508,439 other folds later lol!! If I pull it off, I will deffinatly be posting it |

Ok, I need help indentifying the words that appear in the 'ribbon' at the top of the map...  I already know that the 2nd word (to the right of the picture) is 'MARAUDENTIUM' but I can't make out the first one. One of the map replicas on ebay have writen it as 'ITINERARIUM' but to be honest, to me, it looks more like 'IDNERARIUM'. Does anyone here know what it is mean't to say or have any other suggestions?? |

I wasn't able to find a better picture of the map, but I did see this picture that will give you an idea of some of the folds:  |

I think I have enough info now to know exactly how the map folds, but thanks for posting that pic!! The more the better, especially any that give a good impression of the size of the map The writing that makes up the walls etc can be made up to an extent, I have made out a few words so I'll probably just repeat those. It's just that ribbon part that I'm stuck on >.< |

I just checked with an online Latin dictionary, and ITINERARIUM is the correct word. It has two meanings: 1) compendious lists of the names and distances of the different stations on the public roads, after the manner of roadbooks and 2) chartographic representations similar to travelling maps.
Basically, it's Latin for "Marauder's Map!"

Theres three folds on the map that luping had One) the fold in the middle right *yellow arrow* Two) two on the sides *blue arrow* and Three) the out side flaps *brown arrow* I also indicated where you can tell the difference with the second and third folds *black circle* *Sorry about my sloppy arrows I just did it with paint * |

Nice diagram Mike!  This version of the map we see at the end of POA is pretty simple, folds wise.  I'm basing mine on this version, for now anyway. I don't think I'll bother with adding all the other folds just yet. I've also decided to draw the whole thing rather than do it on the computer. In a way it will be easier as I can do all the writing for the walls etc fairly quickly. I've made a start on the front of the map. As soon as I finish it, I'll post a pic |

Any chance of update pictures, so we can see it go from a blank piece of paper to a magical Marauders Map? I love seeing things in the before and after stages (too many episodes of Changing Rooms!!) |

I was just thinking of the one Luluhime was making at the moment. But wouldn't it be cool at some stage to do that, just to see if any can join together. I know some of it is hidden under the cardboard but you never know |
