Description
This light-up canvas brings the Marauder's Map from the Harry Potter stories into your home. It stands 52cm tall and runs on batteries. Against a deep black background, gold banners read "Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs are proud to present", above a fine gold drawing of Hogwarts castle with its towers, turrets and pointed roofs. The words "The Marauder's Map" sit in a pale panel at the heart of the castle, where the glow is brightest, and two scrolls beneath read "Itinerarium Maraudentium". Trails of red footprints wander across the dark ground, with gold stars and small sparkles scattered between them.
It belongs wherever a soft glow is welcome on a dark evening: a bedroom shelf, a reading corner, a desk beside a games setup or a bookcase in the sitting room. Because it is battery operated, there is no lead to trail to a socket, so you can stand it on a bedside table, a sideboard or an indoor windowsill and move it whenever the mood takes you. The black background keeps the gold and red artwork crisp in daylight, and once switched on, the lit centre draws the eye straight to the castle in a dimly lit room.
The canvas has deep, dark edges that wrap neatly around the sides, so it looks tidy from an angle as well as straight on. To look after it, dust the front and edges with a soft, dry cloth, and keep it indoors and away from damp. Set it at eye level, where the lettering is easy to read and the footprints seem to lead you towards the castle, and switch it on as the light fades. Wrapped up, it makes a thoughtful present, and we think it is one of the cosiest ways to welcome the darker evenings.
