I connected a lot of fireplaces with teleporters to serve as "Floo network", there are passageways that can be opened "magically", and so on. My favourite thing in Terraria that works well in this project is that you can add a lot of "special effects" that make the world feel more magical. I started the map in July/August 2020 and spent the fall/winter months of the last years on it. After building a couple of ugly "non wooden box houses" (which were basically 2-material boxes with roofs), I decided to try something more challenging and build Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter. This is a project I've been working on for some time now. ![]() I wanted to show you my Hogwarts/Wizarding World builds, for which I used a Large World Journey Mode map with no mods. You can open up the tunnel beneath, leading to the Sorcerer's Stone. Above that, we have the empty corridor with Fluffy (next to the golden harp). Out of fun, I also built an alternative version for Umbridge. It's currently based on Lupin's time, as there are a few werewolf-related items in the trunk. Above that, we have the bedroom and Office of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. The ground floor has the Muggle Studies classroom, where the lights can be turned on and off by non-magical light switches. Above the corridor is the Divination classroom, with Trelawney's office and bedroom in the small tower. The painting of the unicorn is supposed to be the portrait of Sir Cadogan on his fat pony. On the grounds we have the staffroom, first floor is the DADA (Defence Against the Dark Arts) classroom, second floor is the corridor leading to the Divination classroom. Since he doesn't need the bedroom, it's a bit dusty. On the fourth floor, there is the office and bedroom of Professor Binns, the only ghost teaching at Hogwarts. Second floor has the trophy room (with Tom Riddle's award) and the armory. ![]() Second floor is the Charms classroom, which has a couple of signs/blackboards with spells. Above, on the first ground, is Professor McGonagall's office and her bedroom with tartan wallpaper. ![]() On the ground, the room with the marble pillars, we have the Transfiguration classroom. Little Hangleton: Frank Bryce's cottage.Hogwarts: rebuilt roof of Great Hall, added arch.Godric's Hollow: Bathilda Bagshot's house.Hogwarts: Umbridge's Office (alternate version to standard DADA office).Hogwarts exterior overhaul (added some details on stone walls).Hogwarts: added Underwater Mermaid village.Diagon Alley: more progress on Gringotts Vaults, added traps.Hogwarts: overhaul of "Mirror of Erised".small overhaul of Hogwarts, changed some rooms, overhaul of Myrtle's bathroom sink.Hogsmeade: overhaul of Zonko's Joke Shop.finished tunnels to Chamber of Secrets and Shrieking Shack.added "special effects": connected fireplaces and "vanishing cabinets" with teleporters, added pressuee plates to turn on/off some lights in the castle.Hogwarts Castle: reworked Hospital Wing and added a few teachers' rooms.Diagon Alley, Part 1 (Leaky Cauldron, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes).I also loved placing signs with quotes from the book (like lists, letters, spells) or filling chests with suitable items. My map is not based on a specific school year, but contains details from all books/films. I tried to stick close to the books when there are floor locations for specific rooms or when rooms are supposed to be close to each other, but sometimes I had to deviate because some floors of my castle did not have enough rooms, while others were too empty. the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff common rooms). Some of the designs are based on the drawings from Pottermore (e.g. The design of my buildings is mostly based on the movies, some of it is a mix of books and films, and other parts are based on the books only. It's still a work in progress, I'm constantly adding or rebuilding things, but now I'm at a point where I can say I'm almost done and running out of ideas what to add because I have built almost all of the important locations from the story (also, I am almost running out of space on the surface level). ![]() Originally I wanted to build only the castle, but then I thought it would be cool to also build Hogsmeade, the Weasley House and Diagon Alley, and then I added more and more buildings and my wizarding world was growing.
