- Minecraft player’s seven-year project recreating Hogwarts in the game showcases the perfect combination of creativity and dedication.
- The highly detailed design of the castle’s interior, including recognizable locations like the Grand Staircase and Gryffindor common room, is truly impressive.

Harry Potter fans are well known for their enthusiasm towards the story of the boy wizard, and when that dedication is brought into a game like Minecraft, some truly exceptional creations can be made. One Minecraft player’s phenomenal recreation of Hogwarts castle is a perfect example of players’ creativity in Minecraft pairing perfectly with an established franchise.
Since its initial release in 2011, Minecraft has become the highest-selling video game of all time, largely due to the seemingly infinite possibilities of creating, crafting, and exploring. One player, who has been working on a massive recreation of Hogwarts in Minecraft for over seven years, has shared an updated look at their exceptional craftwork and dedication.
Minecraft player ducky_67 shared a new look at the Hogwarts castle recreation that they have been working on for many years. The entire exterior of the castle, including the Quidditch Pitch, the boathouse, and the Herbology greenhouses, has been remade with Minecraft‘s in-depth creation tools. The interior of the castle is where the highly detailed design is truly impressive, with the Grand Staircase, Gryffindor common room, Great Hall, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration classrooms being among the easily recognizable recreations. Flaming braziers, flying books, and floating candles are among the finer details that can be spotted, along with a rather iconic detail from The Chamber of Secrets. These finer interior details have been the focus of ducky_67’s work over the last year, and the updated look is truly a work of magic.
The creator has said that they still have plenty more to craft, anticipating another three years before they fully complete this truly incredible recreation. This means they expect it to take a total of 10 years for them to bring the iconic Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to the world of Minecraft. Having made massive improvements since their last update, fans of Harry Potter and Minecraft are already applauding the current iteration of the castle and are waiting eagerly for the next magical update.
Minecraft continues to serve as a true testament to gamers’ love of sandbox-style creation tools in video games, and it remains a go-to for many who wish to rebuild and explore some of their favorite fantasy worlds. While many Harry Potter fans are still enjoying this year’s big single-player game Hogwarts Legacy, those who wish to enjoy the Wizarding World with friends should keep a close eye on this spectacular version of the magical school. It is always inspiring to see dedicated fans making something unique to share with a community, and Minecraft will no doubt remain an ideal space for gamers, witches, wizards, and muggles to share magical creations and experiences for years to come.
Minecraft is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
