A Colorado-based artist named Stefanie Hook has made one of the most magical creations born out of the COVID-19 pandemic: a Harry Potter face mask that reveals the Marauder's map when you breathe into it!

In the Wizarding World, the Marauder's Map is a document that appears to be blank, but when you recite 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good', the parchment then magically reveals all of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including secret passages and the location of every person in the grounds.

So how exactly does the mask mimic the magic of the Marauder's Map? The secret is the non-toxic heat activated pigments used in the product.

Your warm breath will serve as the 'magic spell,' because once the mask reaches a temperature of 82°F (27.778°C), it will reveal the Marauder's Map in all its glory.

The magical Harry Potter mask is available on Stefani's website called Colorado Pony Express (CPEX), where she originally sells slimes and plushies.

Since March, Stefani has been creating face masks with different themes, based on CDC recommendations for homemade masks.

She warns though that her creations are not medical grade masks so they won't offer the same protection against COVID-19.

Stefani suggests that people should use her magical mask in conjunction with medical-grade masks.

At the moment the magical Harry Potter mask is out of stock, but Stefani says more masks will be available on May 29.

So, if you need a little magic in your life during this difficult time, you can now get a dose of it through this wonderful creation.
