Huge thank you to Secretlab for providing a sample!
There are desk mats, and then there is the MAGPAD, the Magnus Pro’s perfect desk magnetic deskmat. Secretlab’s collaboration with Harry Potter immediately caught my eye, and as someone who spends hours at my desk each day, I couldn’t resist putting the Marauder’s Map bundle to the test.
Unboxing & First Impressions
Pulling the desk mat bundle out of the box, I immediately knew I was in for something special. The packaging feels premium, the stitching along the edges is clean and durable, and the subtle branding adds to the overall polish. But the real star is the Marauder’s Map artwork. It’s perfectly themed—vintage-magical without ever feeling tacky or overdone. It instantly elevates the look of the desk in a way that feels more like a collectible than just an accessory.
Feel & Function
After running this mat under my full setup for a couple of weeks, I can confidently say the microsuede material is one of the biggest highlights. The surface is plush and velvety, which makes resting your wrists while typing or gaming surprisingly comfortable. It’s smooth enough that my mouse glides effortlessly, but with just the right amount of texture to feel steady and precise.
The Marauder’s Map print is also done really well. Its detail is sharp and instantly recognizable. Every time I glance down, I notice little details that make the desk feel more immersive, like a workspace that’s been enchanted.
What I Love
What I love most is how much it changes the vibe of my desk. Just having that Marauder’s Map stretched across my workspace adds a sense of fun and magic to something as routine as sitting down to type or play a game. The comfort is also a huge bonus. My wrists don’t feel as fatigued during long sessions, and it makes everyday use feel a little more premium. On top of that, the mat blends well with other accessories—whether you’ve got other Harry Potter collectibles or just want a single statement piece, it works beautifully.
Feedback / Things to Keep in Mind
The only real caution I have is with the material. Because it’s a soft velvet, I’m extra cautious about spills. A stray drink feels a little more dangerous here than it would on a standard hard-surface mat. Cleaning also seems like it’ll require a gentle touch—spot cleaning carefully rather than scrubbing aggressively to avoid damaging the surface or the artwork.
Verdict
If you’re looking for something that brings both style and comfort to your desk, the Secretlab × Harry Potter desk mat bundle hits the mark. The velvet material feels luxurious, the Marauder’s Map design is the perfect blend of subtle and thematic, and the size makes your setup look clean and cohesive. It’s a premium piece that Harry Potter fans will especially love, as long as you’re willing to treat it with a little extra care.
