Harry Potter: The Marauder's Map Guide to Hogwarts (book and wand set)

I purchased this book for my 9’year old daughter who is an avid Harry Potter fan, and she absolutely loves it. The book contains loads of interesting facts about films. However, the best bit is the light up wand and the 4 fold out maps containing details from the official Marauder's Map.Even I thought it was amazing.My 7 year old son, who is also a HP fan wanted to share it with his sister, but she refused to share, so I brought one for him too. Kept him amused for hours and he keeps going back to it.Lovely informative gift and even more exciting having the interactive map. A real winner!

I was worried about this, as the rating went from As New to Used and I couldn't ascertain what might be doing that. The child who was to get it already had another copy of the book, but the penwand was missing. However, the seller gave me a discount without telling me what was amiss and I had to just accept it may have been the penwand. Much to my relief the Penwand arrived working, but with very low batteries, which we were able to replace. It all worked out well and the book and penwand are much appreciated all round. However, I do feel the seller should have stated/specified what was wrong with the condition in case I decided not to buy. Or perhaps reassured me the penwand was working. I was happy with the price, the packaging and postage at the end of the day.

My nephew loved this. He absolutely adored using the wand to find the footprints and locate who was in Hogwarts. Easily one of the best gifts for any child that loves Harry Potter.

This is a fantastic book for any Harry Potter fan. Although it contains loads of interesting facts about the movies the real draw to this set is the light up wand and the 4 fold out maps containing details from the official Marauder's Map. What makes it so much fun is that each of the map pages is full of hidden secrets written in invisible ink that only become clear when you shine the ultraviolet light of the wand over the pages. Feel like Harry as you follow footsteps through the corridors to see who you'll find at the end of the trail and don't forget to look for secret messages and drawings hidden in the artwork.You can even use the invisible ink pen hidden inside the wand to add your own details! There's actually an extra, completely blank, map at the back of the book for you to create your own design and hide personalised secret messages on. There's definitely a lot of fun to be had with this book for kids of all ages, even the adult ones LOL. The batteries in the wand seem to be holding up pretty well so far but you can buy replacements too so this isn't a product with a limited life span and you'll be able to come back to it again and again.

Was a birthday gift so unsure of performance, however, i had a sneak peak before i wrapped it and it looked like a lovely book, great for Potter fans.

This was a gift for someone else, I have been told that it has been thoroughly enjoyed.It looks great and looks like it would be a lot of fun. The wand looks very plastic and chunky, which does let the whole thing down in my opinion, but I suppose it looks like all/most of the toy wants out there.Just a side note - the "invisible" markings that you use the wand to see, are visible under certain lighting/from certain angles. I suppose this is to be expected, but thought it might be useful for others to know

Value for money kids loved it

For Harry Potter funs! My children love it!
