That's a great map with lots of detail.  Too bad the artist called one section the Dark Forest instead of the Forbidden Forest. |

I bought a replica about a year ago (not from this seller)
It is way cool. I'll have to dig it out and make a scan for you all to see.
The only thing I didn't realize when I bid and won it was that it is all in German
(Care to translate, Tower???)

That's a great map with lots of detail. Too bad the artist called one section the Dark Forest instead of the Forbidden Forest. I sent an email to the seller to ask about that. Here's the reply: "While the book calls it the forbidden forest the actual marauders map prop itself from the movie calls it the dark forest. Since the movie prop served more for my inspiration I decided to keep it as close to the actual movie prop and went with Dark Forest instead." I never caught that in the movie map, I'm gonna go watch it again (any excuse is good enough for me), closer. |

Well...even if that's true, the movie map spells Moony as "Mooney." The seller corrected that. It just seems a shame to me that this person put so much work into the replica only to have what I consider to be a big error.

I think the movie map did have Dark Forest. I've also noticed that its not movie accurate. Look at this picture from the auction of the full map.  If you look to the right you see that its The Quidditch Pitch then what is suppose to be Hogsmeade. Its actually suppose to be the other way around, Hogsmeade then The Quidditch Pitch. He also used the part where Harry opens the map when Fred and George give it to him as the second section of the map when really its suppose to be Hogsmeade. The rest of the map is based of the Lupin Office once except for that little error on his part |

Whilst the map is gorgeous (I agree the Dark Forest should be Forbidden, after all what came first, the book or the film  ) did you notice the little broomstick that follows the cursor? How cute is that  |

The movie version is THE DARK FOREST. I also looked it up and its called the Forbidden Forest because well...its forbidden. Thats not its proper name. I could be wrong. I didnt use the Lexion so I'm not sure so correct me if I'm wrong |

I pulled mine out and it also says "The Dark Forest". So has anyone had an "Insert foot!" moment? I just did!!! I had stated earlier that my map was in German. Well, I must not have totally inspected it when I got it. I was trying to read the lettering (which I thought were words) that goes around the whole map. Well I couldn't read it and it looked like German (I have a sister-in-law that is 100% German and she brings things back to the US for me. So I have a lot of things around here that I can't read!!) so I just called it German!!  But it's just lettering on the map!!!  The rooms are labeled in English. Can we say "DUUUUHHHH"! (no translation needed!!!)  |

When you got that map you must have one of those "I'm So Happy To Finally Have a Marauders Map I Really Dont Care What Language its In Or If Its the Map is outlined in just Letters" moments  |

Here's the link to the Lexicon's info: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/hogwarts/castle/forest.htmlThis is from Prisoner of Azkaban, chapter 16: Walking very close together so that nobody would see them, they crossed the hall on tiptoe beneath the cloak, then walked down the stone front steps into the grounds. The sun was already sinking behind the Forbidden Forest, gilding the top branches of the trees. |

If JK refers to it as the Forbidden Forest in her books, that's good enough for me. |

*The Bottom picture isnt working * I've seen those on EBay...or am I mistaken. I'd love to have one. Anyways, very detailed. Mine has just letters all around it (didnt feel like writting words all around it but parts of Hogsmeade has some words ). Like you said, you'd have look closer to actually tell  |
