Some parts of the trailer, though, show shades of influence from games that were based on Harry’s story, such as the puzzles and spell challenges. I refuse to believe Hogwarts has that many microtransactions.

I’ve seen similar Hogwarts recreations done in Garry’s Mod, but nothing so far that actually makes me nod my head and say “Yep, that’s Hogwarts.” The Floo Network mod definitely looks the part, though it remains to be seen if it can deliver on its lofty promise.įor all its effect on pop culture, and how ubiquitous things like “sorting” into Hogwarts houses are, we’ve yet to have a wands-out, full-on game that recreates the Hogwarts experience for anyone who isn’t Harry Potter - unless you count the Hogwarts Mystery mobile game, which I frankly don’t.

creative things done in Minecraft, but this is absolutely wild and I must have it. The current version of the map is an evolved form of one the Floo Network released several years ago but wasn’t satisfied with. According to an IGN interview with the lead developer, the team even visited some of the filming locations to get the look correct. But it looks exactly like the film version of Hogwarts, down to the Chamber of Secrets. Naturally it’s not exactly called “Hogwarts” in the trailer - I’m sure that’d be infringing on some sort of copyright. Given that you can also scavenge for resources such as health potions and money - yeah, this is a full-blown Harry Potter RPG. The spells range from teleportation, light beams, and Patronuses to ward off dementors. You can also visit major locations away from school, including Diagon Alley and Platform 9 & 3/4. The group, called the Floo Network, claims their mod will deliver the complete magical experience, including the wizardry lessons, quests, Quidditch, and encounters with familiar characters.
