Harry Potter superfan Alice Finch built a 170-square-foot replica of Hogwarts Castle out of 400,000 pieces of Legos. As she stated in the interview with The Brothers Brick, the central staircase alone needed 10,000 bricks. Alice spent twelve months over an 18-month period building, and the end result is mind-boggling. It is designed to be architecturally correct and completely playable, and it breaks into sections that pack into 40 large flat boxes or shelves.
At the 2012 BrickCon, Alice's Hogwarts took home both the People's Choice and the Best in Show awards, which is apparently a rare combination.
Check out the entire Flickr album with 79 pictures. The level of details is just amazing. My favorites are Dumbledore's office, complete with a cabinet of memories and a pensieve, and the Great Hall feast welcoming Beauxbaton students just like in Goblet of Fire.
