During the credits you can see one of the footprints change from a human footprint to an animal's (naming Sirius) footprint
When the credits are at the end, we hear Harry say 'Mischief managed.' and all the text goes away, replaced by the film's logo. Then he says 'Nox' and the screen fades to black. After the screen goes dark there is a familiar noise before the film finally ends.
Several fun variations in the Marauder's Map credits: -One set of footprints enters a room called "Stink Bomb Store" and several pairs of footprints leave very quickly. -Dog paw-prints and owl talon-prints move around the map. -The footprints react to the text, hopping over the names or going around them. -The Grindylows from The Goblet of Fire are introduced on the map with the Grindylow Lagoon. -Sirius Black's footprints go from shoes to bare feet, then turn into dog's paw-prints. -Two pairs of footprints appear to be kissing in a secluded corner. -One pair of footprints is chased by another.
At one point during the closing credits on the "Marauder's Map," a footprint goes by that is left by a person with only one foot.
During the closing credits, the Marauder's Map is shown with footprints moving around the cast and crew's names. When composer John Williams' name is shown, the footprints appear confined to an invisible box as if he is on the conductor's podium. When Robbie Coltrane's name is shown, the footprints are several sizes larger than the others, befitting Hagrid's larger stature.
The movie opens with the silver Warner Bros. logo appearing from blackness, then the camera flies through the WB logo as it zooms in on Harry Potter's bedroom window.
The credits appear as a version of the Marauder's Map, moving all over the surface, accompanied by little footprints which react and change appropriately.
