The level first spawns the player into Hogwarts' courtyard, and from there, they are allowed to wander around the castle at their own leisure. Not only that, but they’re also given a number of options to change the setting to see Hogwarts in a different light, with the creator providing the option to switch the weather, time of day, and more. The player can also access the Marauder’s Map to navigate their journey through the castle and use the spell Lumos to light their way if it’s dark. Overall, it seems the recreation is filled with attention to detail and passion, once again showing the potentialDreams’set of tools have to design expansive worlds.
