Marauders Map
Magical tracking document
A magical artifact from the Harry Potter series—a map of Hogwarts that reveals secret passages and tracks the location of everyone on the grounds in real time.
Created by four students who called themselves the Marauders, it activates with the phrase "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." The term sometimes appears in discussions of surveillance technology or location-tracking apps: This app is basically a Marauders Map for your friends.
