Harry Potter fanatics can now get their hands on magical wrapping paper that looks exactly like The Marauder's Map.

The mystical print has been dreamt up by the graphic designers behind the film's most treasured props, from Harry Potter’s Hogwarts acceptance letter and Quidditch World Cup tickets, to Chocolate Frog sweet wrappers and the Daily Prophet newspaper – as well as the famous blueprint itself.

Artists Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, who run Minalima studios, have launched the bewitching gift wrap just in time for Christmas so you can envelop your pressies in the wizard-themed paper.

Ministry of Magic addicts will know that The Marauder's Map first appeared in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to help James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin navigate their way around Hogwarts' hidden passages.

It cropped up in later Harry Potter films too, and also became a covert way to track people moving around the vast and spooky school grounds, showing every hallway and corner of the castle, plus footsteps of humans, elves and even ghosts.

Minalima's Harry Potter gift wrap is available to pre-order online at minalima.com and will go on sale from 4th November 2019.

For £5.95, you'll get two pieces of single-sided wrapping paper measuring 50cm x 70cm – so save the special sheets for your favourite muggle as it's not to be wasted on non-believers.

The design duo have also launched the Black Family Tapestry inspired by the prop featured in Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix.

It appears on the set of 12 Grimmauld Place and shows the family tree of Sirius Black.

You can also treat Potter fans to gift wrap themed on Hogwarts Library, The Daily Prophet and Quidditch as the studio has created an entire spellbinding collection.
