The Hogwarts Build Project

Emblem found via google, not claiming it as my work

Some of you are slightly aware that for a year now I have been occasionally working on a massive build project. Hogwarts!
I am a big fan of Harry Potter, I grew up with it, I love it, and I am an absolute nerd about it. I also love to build and I love to challenge myself. When I originally joined ECC my overall goal was to buy enough land so I could build this magnificent castle.

Towns Involved:
PhoenixAerie
PerchingTrees
OwletsNest
Hogwarts1
Hogwarts2
Hogwarts3
Hogwarts4
Hogwarts5
Hogwarts6
Hogwarts7

Current News:
I just recently spent 2 million ECD and bought FOUR more towns for the Hogwarts project. Its getting bigger than I originally planned!!! No matter though I am still determined as ever to finish it someday.
New sections have been built and I have also gotten a bit of interior work done as well. Take a look at the photos section or stop buy via the /warp to see what has been added.

How to Get there: /warp phoenixaerie

What is it?:
Hogwarts is the Wizarding School of Europe, as in state in the Harry Potter series, it is said to be the finest school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is a magical stone castle and there are many different interpretations of it, my goal is to build a complete representation of Hogwarts on ECC using a combination of visual memory, floor plans I have found via the internet and my own imagination and style.

How Big Is It?:
The Hogwarts project is now 10 towns and no longer perfectly rectangular. I decided I wanted to include the grounds and Quiddich pitch in the build as well. I am probably not finished buying towns yet. We shall see. I have currently spent 3,485,000 ECD on towns just for Hogwarts. *whistles*

Can I visit?:
Yes! Of course you can, I have a warp set at the entrance to the build '/warp phoenixaerie'. Eventually I will have warps for each relevant town set all across Hogwarts. Keep checking back for more listed warps.
Warning: This build is /not/ complete, there are many unfinished areas, if you do not have /fly please watch your step for falls. I am not responsible for deaths here. Watch your step.

Can I live here?:
No, Hogwarts is only for show. No one is going to be living here, and no I won't add you to the region unless you're performing a service for me, which is rare since I can typically cover my own needs. :p

Want to help?
I will not accept any sort of labor or building help, that part is all solo for myself. If you must absolutely contribute I have a small number of items I need mass quantities of I have plenty of donation chests set up near the build for people to drop stuff in. If you wish to help, this is what I need.

Unenchanted Iron Armor
Smoothstone/Stone Brick
Dark Oak
Spruce Fences
Torches

You're not required to donate, I am not asking, this is just an informative list if that is what you want to do. Everyone is free to come and visit.

This build is purely done for my own enjoyment and yours, it so serves no other purpose than that. Thanks for reading and I hope you stop by sometime :D​

 

Indeed, I always like to have something to file my idle time, even if that time is scarce.

Oooh, that would be great :D You can just poke me ingame if you need to find where my chests are. <3

 

Bump: Its been a year, but so much has been built! Woo!
