Hogwarts Map: Ultimate Project/Release 2.0

The time has come! Harry Potter returns to Minecraft for an everlasting, breathtaking, spine-tingling, bone chilling adventure for a major yet official update to Mr. Kaspersson's outdated project!

Take a trip to London and visit some of the famous locations like Grimmauld Place, or shop for some of your supplies in Diagon Alley. Learn defensive spells, hide stuff or hold a prom or wedding in the Room of Requirement. (But don't forget your ticket!)

Learn other defensive spells in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom, take a trip to the Astronomy Tower, famous for Dumbledore's death.

And while you're at Hogwarts, you MUST visit the Headmaster's Study, the Grand Staircase and visit all the four houses Hogwarts has to offer since 993 AD.

Go to the underground chambers and rescue the Philosopher's Stone before someone steals it, or slay the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets.

Oh, and while you're around, visit the Malfoy Manor, the Forest of Dean and the Weasley Burrow.

We have a name for both Release 2.0 and 3.0. The name is known as Hogwarts - A Better Perfect Recreation, and it will be split into two phases.
