NZ Hogwarts Building Layout

Description

Here's the building layout for the NZ Version of Hogwarts that I dreamed about one day. Below are the original note/ comments from Facebook.

Main Picture: So, the layout of the school overall. The school was supposed to be located in Fiordland, at the point where Charles Sound splits into two separate rivers. Here: [link]

The route on the one side goes alongside the cliff to ground level, going underneath the Magical Creature Building, which is supported by two immense pillars.

So yeah, this school is supposed to be Athena [my old school]. Why? Two reasons. One, it was that way in my dream. Two, why the hell not? It's certainly more fun that way.

Okay, I haven't exactly labelled things here, but that's expanded on in the bigger pictures. Grey means either a door or a window, and based on where it's located, you can generally guess. Before things get confusing, the scale for the building was that one of those grey windows (the smaller ones) are the size of one normal hallway. The height of each floor is higher than normal, so more like an old manor house's floors instead of one in your house.

Middle Left Picture: Here we go; this is a visual aid. I built a miniature version of the area in Lego Digital Designer. I was going to detail the cliffs and forest more, but I left that out in the end (too much work).

Because of my shrinking of the scale so it could be built to this size, some things aren't quite the right shape, but this is only so you can get the general idea of what it's supposed to look like.

Middle Right Picture: Funny, in my original dream, the senior tower was around here, but I think it vanished soon after. Ah well, you know how it is with dreams.

Although this is supposed to be in Fiordland, I imagined a person looking at the school from this point of view (or more appropriately, the road seen here) would see it...um...you know how the Auckland Museum is located up a hill, and the road goes up to it and sort of curves round, and there's nothing but grass? Exactly like that.

Bottom Right Picture: And this picture details the entire grounds in full. The two paths that lead out of there aren't depicted, but the one obscured by the Sports Field here is supposed to snake up a mountain which starts (or really, gets steep) behind the stadium. The other one, visible in the foreground, snakes the cliff (it runs alongside this side and the front of the school where the green part stops) and goes down to the forest below.

Half of the Magical Creatures Building is built over this cliff, but it is held up by a mixture of magic and two pillars that meet with the pathway (if you've played Myst: Uru or End Of Ages, think of the Great Shaft, and where the elevator supports meet the walkway.).

Of course, Harry Potter, Hogwarts, and anything else from the Harry Potter Universe is not mine, and is copyright J.K.Rowling, Warner Brothers, and anybody else who I have forgotten to mention.
