Machinima has invited me into their Director's program! Help me out by passing on Part 12 of the build :]

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.

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.

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.

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:4/29/2011)
Lots of personal business of mine has gotten in the way of this. But I've found time and will be continuing the build and putting up behind the scene footage from time to time (No set schedule) on my own channel.
This, my man is amazing!
great work keep it going :smile.gif:

Quote from Aqualize »
it will obviously be CHOCOLATE ORE
used to make cocoa beans and CHOCOLATE CAKE and CHOCOLATE INGOTS
CHOCOLATE INGOTS will be used to make CHOCOLATE TOOLS which are obviously much stronger than diamond and also may be eaten if you are hungry.
I had the idea to make hogwarts a while back but never got around to it. You guys are doing a fantastic job on it, and its looking great.
I might still have a go at trying to build one, one day. :smile.gif:

Amazing job!
Thanks. Still a massive project that has yet to be completed.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks.
First off, that's not a very polite way to ask.
Second, server is not open to public yet.

"Moving staircases"
I'm kidding, nice work.

Now someone just needs to make a Harry Potter mod where you can troll around Hogwarts and learn spells.
