3-Dimensional Hogwarts Castle

This map is called "3D Hogwarts Castle" and has appeared on a site called Video-Copilot (a site that focuses on digital effects/art) through messages between a user named "kingpin" and several of his admirers. In case you were wondering, yes, this is the very Hogwarts from the phenomenon that is the "Harry Potter" film franchise. This is not just art, but relates to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) because it is more of a research project. Several admirers messaged reference pictures and videos to the creator. Although unfinished, this map accurately illustrates the complex Gothic architecture almost to scale. (Several detailed close up pictures are available through the link above.) The buildings are placed on what seems like a scanned blueprint of the actual castle (it should be noted that the castle is obviously not real, and is modeled after various other European castles and cathedrals). Being a hardcore "HP" fan, this picture caught my eye many months ago and I used the related pictures and the site as a reference for Gothic architecture for my amateur drawings. Although Hogwarts is not a "real" place (although many wish it is) it may one day become real thanks to pictures and maps like these.
