Head Boy
Brave, bold, and a natural leader, unafraid of trouble and willing to do anything for his friends. Cheerful, outgoing, and highly talented — particularly in Transfiguration.
Some, however, consider him a show-off, an attention-seeker, and a blatant breaker of school rules!!!

Sirius Black III
Gryffindor, 7th Year
Black dog
Pure-blood ("The Sacred Twenty-Eight")
Charming, lively, and fiercely loyal. Behind his aristocratic appearance lurks a troublemaker always ready to leap into the next reckless adventure. Prone to acting on impulse, without thinking through the consequences.
Some would describe him as tactless, arrogant, and a blatant breaker of school rules!!!
Offences
Sirius Black and James Potter were caught using illegal charms on Bertram Aubrey. Aubrey’s head was reported to have doubled in size. Double detention.
Inseparable pair
This is sabotage!!!

Prefect
Intelligent, calm, and level-headed. Falls ill with suspicious frequency, yet somehow still manages to get into trouble alongside his friends.
At first glance, a quiet one… or so it seems! Quite possibly the brains behind all their schemes.
Offences
Loitering on the eighth floor near the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy after curfew
There aren’t even any rooms on the eighth floor! Highly suspicious!
Undoubtedly spent the night wandering about!
Slept through an entire Ancient Runes lesson.

Clever and cunning, with grand ambitions. Clearly in need of a protector
Appears rather unimpressive, forever hiding behind his friends — though this may well be an act!
Offences
Caught after curfew on the second floor corridor near the statue of the One-Eyed Witch.
Lingered suspiciously close to the statue. What was he hoping to find there — a secret passage?
Nearly made his escape!
Caught in the dungeons at 2 a.m. near the painting of the Fruit Bowl, surrounded by an excessive amount of food.

Hover over the Golden Snitch
A pair of magically linked mirrors that allow their owners to see and speak to one another over a distance. Particularly convenient when carrying out mischief or serving detentions in different locations
Two-way Mirrors
A magical cloak that renders its wearer invisible. James’s Cloak is exceptional, as it does not lose its power over time and is one of the Deathly Hallows, passed down through the Potter family’s male line since the early fourteenth century.
The Invisibility Cloak
A magical map that shows every part of Hogwarts Castle and its immediate surroundings, as well as the location of every person within the castle — with the exception of the Room of Requirement and the Chamber of Secrets.
The Marauder’s Map
A Boggart is a type of ghost. No one knows what it truly looks like, because a Boggart changes its form to match whatever the person standing before it fears most.
The Boggart Trunk
An Animagus is a wizard who can transform at will into an animal that best reflects their personality traits.

«A Furry Problem»
of Mr Moony
of Mr Moony
Remus’s father publicly described werewolves as «evil creatures who deserve no right to live». This enraged the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. He broke into the Lupins' home and infected five-year-old Remus with lycanthropy
A person who, against their will, transforms into a wolf at every full moon and loses the ability to think rationally, becoming aggressive even towards those closest to them

Dumbledore accepted Remus into the school, keeping his lycanthropy a secret.
In the year Remus started at Hogwarts, the Whomping Willow was planted to guard the entrance to the underground tunnel
In the year Remus started at Hogwarts, the Whomping Willow was planted to guard the entrance to the underground tunnel
Once a month, the teachers secretly sent Remus out of the castle through the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack during the full moon, so that he could transform without harming anyone.
Remus had to endure the agonising transformations alone, clawing at himself in the confined space.
Solving the «Furry Problem»
Remus’s friends discovered his lycanthropy and, far from turning away from him, began searching for a way to ease his suffering. In their fifth year, they finally succeeded in becoming Animagi
An Animagus may transform into only one animal and is required to register in the Animagus Registry, where the witch or wizard’s name and the animal — including its distinguishing features — are recorded. Failure to register may result in imprisonment in Azkaban
The Animagus Registry
A wizard who can transform into an animal at will while retaining human intelligence and memories
Animagus
It is considered a long and difficult process, one that can go disastrously wrong and result in irreversible mutations. A high level of skill in Transfiguration and Potions is required. For this reason, fewer than one in a thousand witches and wizards ever succeed in becoming Animagi
The Animagus Transformation
Every full moon, they would slip away into the Forbidden Forest
Unregistered Animagi
The Ministry of Magic had no idea that three unregistered Animagi were running amok in Hogwarts Castle

— Mr Moony
Hogwarts Castle
We ought to start keeping a record of how many times Filch has failed to catch us wandering the castle after curfew. Hardly surprising — the castle has one hundred and forty-two staircases.
— Padfoot
Hagrid’s Hut
Here you will always be offered a strong cup of tea and a piece of rock-hard cake, in the company of a Flobberworm, which Hagrid considers quite charming. A Flobberworm is by no means the strangest creature you might encounter here!
— Mr Prongs
The Forbidden Forest
Legend has it that anyone who enters the Forbidden Forest will find two things there: trouble, and someone with stranger fur than Padfoot’s. Filch is convinced there are werewolves roaming about… Slander!
— Mr Wormtail
The Quidditch Pitch
This is where Prongs throws himself in front of Bludgers in every House match! In my opinion, it’s far safer — and far less painful — to be a spectator.
— Mr Moony
The Shrieking Shack
The most «haunted» place in Britain — which, of course, frightens everyone except us, the Marauders. The key is to remember to howl at the right moment.
— Mr Padfoot
Hogsmeade
Our chief supplier of jokes from Zonko’s and Butterbeer from the Three Broomsticks. Without it, life at Hogwarts would be as dull as Professor Binns’s lessons! The trick is knowing the secret passage from the castle to Honeydukes
— Mr Padfoot
The Whomping Willow
Merlin, I never thought a tree could hate people so much — especially those trying to sneak past it! How fortunate that we have Wormtail, and that we know exactly which knot to press

The Black Lake
They say the giant squid that lives there isn’t the most pleasant conversationalist, yet Lily insists she’d still rather talk to him than to me… Perhaps he simply talks less about Quidditch?
There was hardly a student at Hogwarts who knew the castle, the school grounds, and Hogsmeade better than the Marauders

The Map eventually fell into the hands of Argus Filch, but he was never able to uncover its secrets and locked it away in his office.
There it waits for the next generation of mischievous witches and wizards.

The Fidelius Charm
For the Potters’ protection, the Fidelius Charm was placed on their home, concealing it from all but the Secret Keeper. At Sirius’s insistence, the role was entrusted to the unassuming Peter Pettigrew, while everyone was led to believe that Sirius himself was the Secret Keeper

The Spy
Sirius suspected Remus of spying for Voldemort and therefore did not entrust him with the secret. In truth, it was Peter who had become a Death Eater and betrayed the Potters to the Dark Lord

Betrayal
James was killed by Voldemort while trying to buy time for his wife and son to escape, but it was already too late. Peter later publicly accused Sirius of betrayal and staged his own death, killing twelve Muggles in the process. Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban
