Using this Harry Potter backpack is a breeze. For the front pocket with the magnetic buckle, just give it a gentle tug to open and close. You can put small items like keys or cards there. The side pockets are great for water bottles or umbrellas. When packing your laptop, place it in the dedicated internal pocket to keep it safe. For extra stuff, use the two additional inside compartments. When it comes to carrying, adjust the shoulder straps to fit your comfort. You can also use the carry handle for short - term carrying. As for maintenance, since it's made of wipe - clean polyester, simply use a damp cloth to clean any dirt or stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric or the gold print. Store it in a dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
