Completed Hogwarts Castle papercraft

About the Work

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the magical school featured in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series. It is a massive medieval European-style castle built in the Scottish Highlands, consisting of a seven-story main building with multiple towers, dungeons, and vast grounds.

The school has four houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin), and new students are sorted into each house by the "Sorting Hat." Each house is named after its founder and has distinct values and traditions.

In the films, the castle is depicted as a grand structure using a combination of CG and live action, modeled after real British castles and cathedrals (such as Alnwick Castle, Durham Cathedral, and Gloucester Cathedral). Its characteristic spires, Gothic-style windows, and stone walls are impressively detailed.

The "Wizarding World of Harry Potter," which opened at USJ (Universal Studios Japan) on July 15, 2014, features Hogwarts Castle recreated on a grand scale, making it a popular destination for fans from around the world.
