The family has shown how they created the Hogwarts Castle along with several elements included in the setup. The Halloween decoration has been set up in Austin, Texas, neighbourhood. The family initially began by creating the Diagon alley and eventually stepped up and added several Harry Potter-themed elements to their Halloween decoration. From the crooked building to the Nimbus broom and the Dragon, the family successfully recreated all the elements from the fictional place.

Recently, the family also built a replica of the Hogwarts Castle, which has taken people by surprise. The family announced their plan to make the Hogwarts Castle all the way back in July. At the time, they posted a picture of a miniature castle, which looked like a basic structure of the main set up.

In their announcement, they revealed that despite the Diagon Alley being replaced, they will now work towards building the huge Hogwarts Castle. Posting the miniature image, they mentioned that the actual set up will be much bigger.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Halloween 2020 Announcement: Due to the nature of our project, we are sad to announce that we simply cannot safely bring Diagon Alley ATX in it’s original conception to life this year. Because our project involves so many volunteers and draws large crowds gathered closely together, it would be irresponsible to create an unsafe environment for our family, friends, volunteers, neighbors and community. As Joel puts it, “I started this project for my wife, who has had cancer two out of the last three years. There is no way that I’d ever jeopardize her health after she fought her way back. That said, I think I can still manage to create a little magic this year. Because I think our community needs it right now.” So while we can’t have the walk-through, immersive Diagon Alley ATX experience, the good news is that Joel is working on an alternative display. Something completely new. Something that will still require Herculean effort. Something that allows you stay safely in your car and still enjoy a bit of the Harry Potter world and it’s magic. We will be revealing a bit more in the coming weeks as he develops his conceptual model. We will also try to share more videos and photos of the process than we normally do because we’ve received so many messages asking how we do this...and who knows if we can even pull it off? Finally, we still plan to try to raise money for local Austin charities. They need us all now more than ever, and you were all so generous last year in helping us raise over $10,000. Let’s see what we can do. We will be sharing more details in the coming weeks, but here is a peak at *part* of Joel’s model. (Actual display will be 10x larger). ⚡️

Thus, the family began building the project at hand one by one installing several elements from the Hogwarts castle. The family also had been posting a number of images throughout the time to help fans keep a track on how they went about creating the huge castle. Right from the entrance to the main castle, every picture documents the stages of the creation of the Harry Potter Halloween decoration. Fans have appreciated the effort put in by the family after seeing the images and the final result. The current stage of the Hogwarts castle saw a new water experiment that was posted on their Instagram page. The family has added the river element to the Hogwarts castle thus giving it a more realistic look. The castle currently stands in front of the family’s house. The structure is huge and replicates the original Hogwarts castle and has thus earned praises of several fans online.
