Harry Potter Town

[ProfessorN]

Hi everyone I need some ideas for a Harry Potter themed town, I haven't done a themes town before so could do with some help!

What sort of villagers would be good?

How should I arrange my town?

What would I use as Hogwarts etc...

If anyone has any ideas, that would be awsome!

I would love to see this. I really, really would.

I'm not good with themed towns, but if you were to make your house Hagrid's, you could just buy exteriors that are made of wood, and maybe buy the shabby mailbox. Inside, dunno. Like I said, I've got no experience with themed towns.

 

[ProfessorN]

That's a good idea, Hagrids hut! I could keep it small with one room

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Yup! From what I remember, Hagrid only has one room in the hut. It would be down near the south. Persimmons are the closet to pumpkins, you could drop those on the ground for the pumpkin patch.

You could do the forbidden forest! Lots of pine trees and stuff to dip up ect. Like a mini adventure

Or, you could do a house for each Hogwarts house (Ravenclaw ect.)

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

You could make an extra NPC Hagrid's hut, and you could make your main human get the Hogwarts castle. If you save up and get a bunch of rooms, you could buy the castle roof.

I really like the forbidden forest idea! And yes, i would have to make my mayors house Hogwarts.

What about the Great Lake? And river shape?

I would love to see this!!!!

They have glasses you could use to make your character Harry, and you could dress them in normal clothes or the witch/wizard clothes.

What about the one where the river cuts the bottom of the map off from the top? The bottom part could be a diagon alley type area with the shops (cafe) and then the bigger bit would be the hogwarts area?

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Or, you just make some completely random ****ing characters.

River shape would have to be on one side of the map, since the Great Lake is on one side. If you manage to get the river over to the side without going into the middle of the map{I had a map like that, the river bordered one edge of the map} and you put your house near it, then that can simulate the Great Lake.

My first thought was that your mayor could be Dumbledore and your main house could be Hogwarts. Then you could have Harry, Ron, and Hermione as your other three players.

Another cool thing you could do is have the four player characters be the Hogwarts founders and have their respective houses all function as 'Hogwarts'. Ideally you would lay them out like so:

x x
x x

Also, the houses would not *just* have to be the common rooms... for example, the Ravenclaw house's upper level could be the astronomy classroom or whatever.

Here are some HP QR codes, btw: http://merongcrossing.tumblr.com/tagged/harrypotter

I'm not familiar with all of the villagers yet, but here are some off the top of my head that I think would be good:
ϟ Julian, because he's a unicorn
ϟ Kiki, because she's a black cat
ϟ Erik
ϟ Fauna... or any of the other girl deer really

Also, I would suggest leaving your town in the winter season. ^^

For your Hogwarts house, you could make the main room like the Great Hall, have the three side rooms dressed in the colours of the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff dorms, put Slytherin in the basement, and maybe have Dumbledore's office on the top floor!

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Yeah. You can save up a crap load, and make each house Hogwarts. One house could be dedicated to the House common rooms, the other the classrooms, one other the offices of the teachers, and the last one could be the Great Hall and anything else, like the trophy room.

 

[ProfessorN]

Some amazing ideas guys, thanks so much! Keep em coming

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

You'll have to save up a lot for the four houses, so you should probably start. It's good to take the four houses{literally, lol} one at a time, slowly building them up until you have a complete Hogwarts. The 4th character, however, can be Hagrid's. You can make the main room of one of your houses the Great Hall, and have the Houses upstairs, downstairs and to the left and right.

 

[ProfessorN]

My plan at the moment is to have Main house as Hogwarts, with different rooms as has been suggested.

Then have Hagrids hut, the burrow, and 4 privet drive as the other 3 houses

I have 26 million bells in my main town atm so money isn't really an object

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Good, you'll be able to pay off each room.

Wait, but what about the classrooms? The main house alone can't hold the main classrooms, the Great Hall and the House common rooms.

 

[ProfessorN]

Hmmm yes, I have a shortage of rooms in my main house so I may do themed common rooms like moonbunny suggested?

Ooh! Not sure if anyone suggested this, but have the cafe and a player's house near each other. The cafe can be the Three Broomsticks pub, and the house you can decorate with sweets to be Honeydukes! Or each room in the house can be a shop... and basement being the shrieking shack!

Number 4 Privet Drive isn't exactly a big part of HP, and if it is Hogwarts themed, what would anything Muggle related be doing in it?
