_______________________________
Well, a Harry Potter obsessed friend of mine, gave me a suggestion that I should recreate Hogwarts in Minecraft.
Granted, I'm not the biggest fan (Albeit the books kept me busy for a while) so what I'm doing is basically my take on Hogwarts. So it won't be 100% accurate (Seeing as how Minecraft has it's limitations [HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS BLARG]) so I'm going to just make it as close as possible, if anything it will just be amazing to look at, right?
Anyways, my this is my reference picture, among a few others that Google finds for me.
My planning goes from being slightly O.C.D., to something a 6-year-old would do (Constantly changing plans while building)
And everybody's favorite, a time-lapse (That I started late, just ignore that fact and enjoy it ;])
It's a long video, but I always find those the more entertaining. Let me know what you think!

Buildings 3 and 4 are up, simple buildings right now, haven't been feeling well so, I'm sorry for the slow update. Going to try to finish up the courtyard sometime tomorrow.
10/18/10
Finished the courtyard for now, smaller buildings are in the floor plan, not sure what they really are. I'll prolly be spending some time with my Harry Potter fanatic friend to watch all the movies. Plus she's always fun to hang out with, so it's a win-win.
10/23/10
Ok, sorry for the delay in videos, working on a website right now from the ground up, so forgive me. Got a lot of work done today, started at 7am, and just finished editing a little while ago. Did some more work on the front end, and a little on the inside. Also, what do you guys think of the live commentary? Granted I was angry about the stairs, but would you want more inside info to break up the timelapse a little?
10/27/10
Got the basic layout done for the West Wing, and did some interior stuff, I'll be going back later to add more fixtures to the outside of the building.
11/30/10
Started working on the northern section.
11/7/10
Started working on the north section, getting closer to the Quiddich field, and more towers. I need to really start planning a head of time again because right now I'm researching and building at the same time and I don't get much done because things don't fall into place. -Sigh- Back to the drawing board I suppose.
11/10/10
1 Month on the project
Finished up that courtyard, and in my opinion it came out really well. There is two floors in all the hallways, and multiple classrooms.
11/12/10 REUPLOADED.
Part 10. The big 1-0, only fitting that this build took 10 hours too. I'm really .. really tired so I'ma go take a nap. Enjoy the video!
UPDATE:11/19/10
Happy Harry Potter Part 7 day!
Lol, finished a great deal of the Grand Stair case, and more of the North East Wing. Check it out!
(UPDATE:12/8/10)
Holy Crap! Machinima uploaded part 12!!
This is amazing! Everyone go check it out!
Everyone needs to go vote for my project! :] You know it's amazing.

Btw, The Slow Creation of Hogwarts has been nominated for Best Mega-Project (Active), Best Castle, and Best Cooperative Build in the 2010 Best of Minecraft Awards (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=97739)
it's not so much time-lapse as fast-forward... watching the construction in the youtube is still pretty slow. It'd be better as 4 minutes long, rather than 8. But I like the ambitiousness! I never seem to build big enough.
Damn that height restriction. If there was enough room, including the cliffs under it and having it built on top of landscape would be epic.
I completely agree, but as of now I'm 3 blocks from the bottom of the map, and need room for the massive towers, which I don't even know if I can fit just yet.

Why don't you build it in Classic? No height restrictions there.. You could always import parts of it to Alpha later on if you wanted.
Well, I run my own server, which my friends play on, I didn't want to run two at the same time, while building, and recording. Plus I don't like creative mode, not 100% sure why.

Aww... Me and my friend has been working on one for monthes, hoping no one would get the idea too... Sucks :tongue.gif:
Bro! Do it anyways, this is all in good fun!

I was thinking the same thing, but after importing the first 500 pictures (2000+ total in video), at a .3 second interval, it became too much work to get rid of them all and start over. Next one will be faster, I promise. Plus, the song alone is 8:15 so it was sort of fate.
Thanks for all the replies guys, It's given me a lot of motivation to keep working. I'll try to knock out another building & Video tonight.
I expect Runecraft to be installed on this server so you can add working hidden passageways and teleporters where needed.
Looks great so far.

Wonderful! I really want to see this completed!
I have always wanted to make hogwarts in minecraft... :smile.gif:
It's going to be a very long build, that tower alone pretty much capped the height restrictions from bottom to top. I may take the next night off, because that tower killed me lol.
The new timelapse is wonderful. Something about timelapse + minecraft is just awesome.

Oh believe me, I've seen my share of circular builds... It's just nice to see somebody other than myself doing it, and seeing it happen in a few minutes rather than a few days. >_>

I jump in this section just to see building projects as I have yet to venture onto an MP server. This is a sick project. I subbed to your channel so I can follow the updates. Also... what's the song from the building two vid? I dig it. I thought it was a Nujabes track at first but I couldn't find anything like it in my collection.

-Sigh-
I've posted two videos in the last 48 hours, and I've gotten this question hundreds of times. The second song is listed at the end of the video, I'm really surprised how many people haven't seen that.
It's Hope that helps you out, Aside from the first one I'll be posting the song names at the end as I normally do in my videos. I was just so burnt after the first Minecraft video I forgot. Thanks for the sub, I honestly appreciate it.
Sorry about that. I can tell you exactly what happened. I was watching the embed of the vid here and as soon as I saw the part about thumbs up and sub I clicked over to youtube to do both and didn't catch the song title right after. My apologies haha.

It's cool. Just got that question like 120 times that day between messages and comments lol

Holy ****, amazing! You plan on releasing it to the community so we can walk around in it?
I've been thinking about it, but I'll have to run it by my regulars to see if they'd be ok with it.

Runecraft was installed on day 1 of the server. Just having a hard time with it's recent update with McAdmin. :[
I run a combo of McAdmin and Hey0.
Also, Bump for updates!
It's going to be a very long build, that tower alone pretty much capped the height restrictions from bottom to top. I may take the next night off, because that tower killed me lol.

Thanks Munsie, the later timelapses will be more eventful, seeing as how I won't be traveling in circles for hours... upon hours...
