It is shown that in various categories, including many consisting of maps or hypermaps, oriented or unoriented, of a given hyperbolic type, or of coverings of a suitable topological space, every countable group A is isomorphic to the automorphism group of uncountably many non-isomorphic objects, infinitely many of them finite if A is finite. In particular, the latter applies to dessins d’enfants, regarded as finite oriented hypermaps.
