I have been searching the web for images and information on the Hogwarts Castle used in Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. I would like to obtain floor plans of the castle, layout of the grounds, and detailed images of the exterior of the Hogwarts. I am sure the idea for Hogwarts was created from either one or more existing castles. I want to build a model of Hogwarts to use in our media center. I not building it to scale, but would like to obtain enough detail information to make the model believable. I would appreciate your help in my quest. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply. Dave Chapman but i know in the film they used alnwick castle in northumberland, info on this castle you can find at Here is another quite useful site for you: But I am sure that the outer appearance of hogwards is a mere fantasy product. So you may feel free to create your own fantasy-castle, if you like to. Another inspiration I can give you are the so-called "carceri", architectural fictions made by an italian painter - and, I think, architect - Piranesi. I had to remember them when I saw the scenes with moving stairways. So I don’t believe there exists a real floor print - unless you use the "marauders map" (HP vol. 3), even Dumbledore doesn’t know every room … [This message has been edited by Peter Esser (edited 03-06-2002).] You are unlikely to find a floorplan that matches the Hogwarts in the film, because Hogwarts was 'constructed' from bits and pieces of lots of different places to match the scenes set by the books. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Gordon (edited 03-06-2002).] Model Rail (Issue 43 May 2002). The model is contructed using cardboard, plastic sheet, "Pringles" tubes and Metcalfe Models stone effect cardboard. The article has photographs and diagrams showing how to perform each stage of the construction. Levandchapman Dear Sir, ipflo i didn't see the movie

http://www.castlegate.net/CASTLES/alnwick/ Peter Esser O, I see, Alnwick castle - most probably the set for the outdoor scenes in the grounds of Hogwards.
