Sup guys. So recently I decided to build a hogwarts (how original am I?) I wanted to create the "gritty" hogwarts from the later films. Now most Potter fans will know that I am making the 7th year castle (pre-war) because of the extended courtyard in front of the Great Hall and the bridge extending. It is mixed throughout the movies, cause most know the castle changes like every film so I do have some stuff from the 3rd films, 4th film ECT. Now, It is a superflat map, so I am building the terrain. I am not very good at building terrain so bear with me. Most of it is flating because there will be mountains done, just haven't gotten to them yet. So if you are a fan of the films, and you are good/like building terrain help will always be appreciated.

I wanted to make this for one, because I didn't like the looks of some peoples hogwarts on xbox. They all seemed too small and not correctly detailed.(to my liking). I have yet to finish the right side of the castle, with the greenhouses/transfiguration courtyard/astronomy tower but will get there soon enough. I have had a few friends help me on placing blocks for floors and stuff, but for the most part I have built all the structres and have been in charge of what goes where. But enough rambling, here it is. First photo taken was July 14th, 2014
WIP's
Current castle as of 8-3-2014
Grand staircase tower/courtyard/bridge & front of the great hall.
Grand Staircase Interior
The Great Hall in detail
Stone Courtyard/Backside of the clocktower/Infirmary
Clocktower & Courtyard & Infirmary Interior
Grounds/Wooden Bridge/Hagrids hut/Dark Forest
Again it's unfinished, I have a lot of landscaping to do and the entire right side of the castle. I'd really like some help from fellow Potter fans who will take orders and help out. The reason it isn't crooked like it is IRL is because for 1, I want to get every little detail and I can't do that with crooked towers. And two, little towers of stone bricks are the edge of the world. I am very far up near the top left of the map (damn game didn't spawn me int he middle) So I had to improvise. So far it's worked out. Again, any potter fans who can build message me on Xbox: PoeticWhisper
Right side of the castle, before we added the foyer. With the Astronomy tower, Sirius Blacks jail tower, transfiguration courtyard & Herbology greenhouses.
Wow. This an excellent rendition of Hogwarts. Don't worry about the lack of comments you won't find the recognition you deserve on this forum. Though its fairly obvious you've taken lots of great care to replicating Hogwarts with detail. This defines a good build not its size but the time and care one puts into it. Well done. My gt is gnosisseeker7. Id love to take a tour. Id help but I'm currently occupied with my own adventure map which is also quite epic. Again great job and look forward to further updates.

thanks for the comment, I tried to add you but for some reason it won't let me dd you GT. You can try to add me, PoeticWhisper
Thanks for all the wonderful responses. I decided to take a few screenshots of the place int he default pack, as the natural pack does make the place look much better, it still looks fine without it.
I don't see why not. There isn't much to "play" as it's mostly just a creative world. It doesn't really have a story or anything, it's not currently an adventure map.
