‘Harry Potter’ Face Mask Shows the Marauder’s Map When You Breathe

If you’re a “Harry Potter” fan, then you probably know the Marauder’s Map, that magical document that revealed all sorts of hidden passageways and secret compartments at The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and beyond.

Harry received the map from Fred and George Weasley during his third year at Hogwarts and it proved to be a game-changer.

If you’ve always dreamed of having your own Marauder’s Map, you’re in luck. And you can even wear this version on your face.

The face mask starts off as a dusky black color. But once you put it on and start breathing into it, it slowly unveils the Marauder’s Map. So cool!

The map is the brainchild of Colorado artist Stefanie Hokashou, who works under the brand name Colorado Pony Express. As you might imagine, as soon as she posted this magical map face mask on TikTok, people lost their minds and started scrambling to buy them from her. So, yes, they’re sold out. Hokashou is working furiously to make more, no doubt.

Here’s how the map works. It features nontoxic heat-activated dyes. When the dyes reach 82 degrees, the mask color changes from black to reveal the map.

Hook also makes plush dolls, slimes and custom orders. She’s also into art quilts, cosplay/wearable art and dragons, according to a Facebook group she runs.

She also made some other really cute types of masks:

Just imagine — this artist’s career is likely skyrocketing right now because she created this innovative face mask. People sure love their “Harry Potter” merch!

Have you read the “Harry Potter” books? Watched the movies? Which is better?

When you’ve written a series of books that will live into eternity, there’s not much to lose – and not much random people can say on the internet that can bring you down.

For her part, J.K. Rowling has been out of f*cks to give for quite a while, and her responses to these 28 tweets proves my point.

J.K. Rowling Revealed the Hidden Meaning Behind the Hogwarts House Colors

If anything has become 100% clear in the decades following the publication of the Harry Potter books, it’s that author J.K. Rowling didn’t do anything by accident. Her website Pottermore is a testament to how many details are just there waiting to be discovered – outside the already-rich text – so it should come as no surprise for true Potterheads that the house colors were chosen for very specific reasons.

So why did the author choose blue (Ravenclaw), red (Gryffindor), green (Slytherin), and yellow (Hufflepuff) to color the fluttering house banners?

A kuku! Jak spędzacie sobotę? Czytacie coś? ? Ja sobie pomalutku ogarniam hacjendę ? Choć rekwizyty zdjęciowe i tak walają się na wszystkich wolnych powierzchniach. Chyba muszę załatwić na nie jakiś magazyn, czy coś ? Wreszcie i ja mam potterowy album z kartami ? Wiedziałam, że nie będzie okazji, by połazić po kioskach, więc zamówiłam sobie na @aros.pl. Przysłali mi to w takim pudle wielkim, że mój mąż aż uznał, że to szafa do złożenia ? Tak czy siak- mam i ja i się tym jaram ? Korzystając z okazji i zgapiając pomysł od @shinart_91 chciałam pokazać wszystkich swoich Harrych ☺ A Wy zbieracie różne popowe wersje tego samego bohatera, czy wystarczy Wam jedna odsłona? ? __________________________________________ #cardcollectors #bloomsbury #harrypotter20 #harrypotterhouses #gryffindor #slytherin #hufflepuff #ravenclaw #hedwig #owl #ronweasley #hermionegranger #goldentrio #harrypotterbooks #harrypotterandthephilosophersstone #figurki #funkocollector #funkoeurope #toyscollector #polishbookstagram #harrypotterbooks #bookmerch #beautifulcover #booksforlife #harrypotterlife #potterhead #bookstagramfeatures #zdjeciedlaksiazki @bloomsburypublishing @stworkipotworki.pl @emp_pl @geekuppl @dystryktzero

Well, as she explained on Pottermore, it has to do with the elements.

“The four Hogwarts houses have a loose association with the four elements, and their colors were chosen accordingly.”

So Gryffindor, with its red and gold, is connected with fire while Slytherin’s greens and silvers represent a connection to water. Hufflepuff to earth (yellow and black), with Ravenclaws blues and bronzes connect it to the sky.

Fans, of course, have taken the symbolism even further, and you can find all sorts of expanded theories on mugglenet.com.  One suggested that the gold, silver, bronze represent the order of the points at the end of the first book, with Gryffindor winning the House Cup, Slytherin coming in second, Ravenclaw third. etc.

Another theory is that Hufflepuff’s association with the earth and plants could mean its home to the “stoners” of Hogwarts (which could also explain how they’re always so easy-going and friendly) and mean there’s a second reason the head of house teaches herbology.

Rowling hasn’t commented on anything above and beyond the connection to the elements, but at this point, Hogwarts and its mythology belong as much to popular culture as they do to her – so theorize away, Potterheads!

I’m right there with you.
