The Hogwarts castle model is the sparkler of the Art branch having been constructing for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone™. It took 86 artists and squad members to build the primary version which was then rebuild and changed numerous times more than for the next seven films. The work was so widespread that if one was to insert the entire the man hours that have moved out into structure and alternative the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes. The model, which sits at almost 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fiber optic lights that create lantern and torch and even gave the illusion of students by way of hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
