    Whats up everyone, I've spent the past two weeks recreating Hogwarts from the Harry Potter books/movies! There's a few Hogwarts remakes out there but lets face it, they mostly look nothing like the castle at all.

    I wanted to not only get as close to the look and layout from the movies, but have it as playable as possible as well including as many iconic rooms and areas as I could so you could really "explore" Hogwarts. A lot had to get cut due to budget restrictions of just making the layout of the castle itself, but I managed to get quite a bit in including The Great Hall, The Grand Staircase, The Main Entrance, The Astronomy Tower, The Courtyard, The Room of Requirement, Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the main bridge, and Hagrid's Hut.

    I'm pretty decent at forging the aesthetics on the map itself, but I don't know much about creating great spawn points/systems. Thats where you come in. Before this is released as a V.1 map, I would love it if a few people would be willing to hop into the map, do a few customs and really help me flush out the map for great gameplay. The base locations are free to experiment with as well. They were hard to choose because the layout of the map.

    Right now the map is only set up for slayer and ctf matches (its extremely fun with free for all), but for the V.1 release I'd love to have it set up for most the other game types (especially Invasion, naturally) once a good spawn system is in place.

    Enjoy and keep me posted with as much feedback and fresh input as possible. Really looking forward to getting this ready for some incredible battles at Hogwarts!

    I listed the rooms above. The room of requirement is there but not the other two. I'd have loved to make everything but the budget just wouldn't allow. :p

    Great job on this map! Some nice aesthetics and structure. I like you have the main parts of hogwarts. The grand hall and stairs. Would be interesting to see how this plays. Will take a closer look now!

    It looks great, but if you need help, why didn't you make a map preview?
