This great indeed. I think it's the most realistic Hogwarts I've already seen.

Thanks for nice words!
And I have to say, if someone don't want it, then he/she shouldn't even open it in the downloads list. I don't want to be rude, but this lot is created only and specifically for H/Hr

Love it, the pictures in the stairwell pretty much sold it for me, - and I fully ship H/Hr and have always felt his relationship with Ginny was like...halfheartedly thrown in at the last moment. Books 1-4 she's in the background mainly, and BAM all of sudden he's hardcore in love with her? Rather than like a girl he's shared so many experiences with, he's going to go with a girl he's barely spoke to? - that's just my feeling personally.

I was thinking the same about this.
Your building looks beautiful, but the shipping part takes away a lot of the creation-text.

Well, that's the point: I have built something really beautiful, but I built it only for those who are like me. I had worse uploads, so this is nothing. If you like it, click 'thanks' and download it, if you don't, then don't waste your time on this page.

And I won't change the back story!

Pegasaus I love your lots and hope you keep building. As for the 'story' about this lot - One of the great things about the Sims is that you can make your own stories about whatever you choose. I actually read a naughty, but quite good 'alternative' to the Harry Potter original in which H + H get together. So, when it comes to imagination anything is possible - make your own reality!

OMG! This is beautiful! You did a wonderful job, it seems very true to the books/movies/video games. Actually I was looking at your screenshots and thinking it looked so much like the OotP game (which I play frequently mostly b/c I love the look of it best). And I didn't mind the bit about you shipping Harry/Hermione, but then I ship them as well.

I'll stop being anti-social when the rest of the world quits being idiots!

Great job! Do the stairs REALLY move? That would be so awesome! I too was a fan of Harry and Hermione; not diehard, mind you, but still a fan nontheless; and still rather dissapointed when J.K. Rowling started shipping Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione. Anyway.....can't wait to try this; thanks again!

It's a wonderful lot, and I get that your inspiration was H/Hr (which I like), but no one needs to play the lot with those characters and the hardcore shipper info in your description is distracting. In fact, you didn't even include some vital pieces of information about the lot itself. Like what size it is, how many rooms it has, or which ones they are, or whether your design is based more on the movies or the books or a combination of both. Those are things that matter a lot more to people who want to download a building. Shipping belongs on a fandom board, not here.

This is beautiful, and very special, pegasaus! Thank you for uploading it.

See my blog for my very latest lots, including some that are not available on MTS2: Twoflower's Sims 2 Lots. Also, see what's happening in Apple Grove, my Prosperity Challenge neighborhood.

Thanks everyone!
I edited the main text for those that don't like H/Hr, and it has already got 16 comments! I mean, every lot can't be featured or picked, so I don't feel bad because of this. Who likes it he/she will download it, no matter on the back story

Marauders4EVR - sadly, stairs aren't moving! It would be perfect if they could move, and we can all imagine that they are moving

Not a Harmony fan (I never got that vibe from the books, but I see your point from the movies even though they aren't canon), but this is a beautiful lot! Definitely will keep it for a fantasy hood one day :3.

Ah, you may have misunderstood -- I merely meant that the shipping could have been balanced better with the sales pitch, not to remove it entirely. (As for my two simoleons, I don't exactly agree with the shipping, but I do think it'd've been better than what turned out in canon, so it's not that at all. )

Thank you! I have already told you: you don't have to use this lot for H/Hr! You can play with it how you want.... And I don't care if the shipping is distracting, because if someone likes the lot, he/she should download it no matter what's written in description... Again, I won't change the back story!

It's amazing how this spiraled into a place of absolute madness. Comments have a way of doing that. One person lights a fire and others follow suit (even when the initial comment was not meant as a spark).

Personally, I do not believe Harry and Hermione should be together as this buys into the adage that males and females can't be friends who love each other with a passion. I have such a friend and the idea of being romantically involved with him cheapens the beauty of what we share. That bond is just as strong as my bond with my husband and is one that cannot be severed because unconditional love is a most powerful thing when you do love that way. That is how I see Harry and Hermione. But is that really relevant to what pegasus shared here? Not really. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

So what is relevant? I think the focus is skewed. It's not just about the backstory, but also about the lot itself.

The lot is spectacular (as most of your lots tend to be) pegasus. It captured my eyes, not simply because I am a Harry Potter fan, but moreso because it has style and is beautiful to behold. Personally, your backstory didn't take away from my attraction to the lot as I see the artwork for itself and the backstory as icing. I "see" the lot and imagine how I would use it. It's a beautiful creation.

Society likes boxes and freedom of expression when sharing one's creations is put into a linear space of "acceptable" or "unacceptable". Existing outside of the box is a thing of beauty to me and I feel you were moved in a different way when you shared this creation as it was meaningful for you to be inspired by the love that exists between Harry and Hermione.

In all honesty, your description is as it should be "for you" as it is an extension of your romantic soul and who you are as a person. Keep Simming, creating and sharing pegasus, as in doing so your creations (your expressions and inspirations) bring a bit more authentic beauty to our Sim hoods.

Thanks StephSim! Your comment means a lot!

However, this was inspired by their love and the way I see it. But the thing is, why everyone got hooked on it? It's just a back story! I mean, there were lots by me and the other creators that had a lot of more creepier and stranger stories (like Camile's Mansion) and everyone got mad just because of the story that I have written!

To be honest, when you are downloading a house, the main thing are the pictures! It doesn't matter what's written in description! You are not downloading a mod, hack or sim so that you will need the description! Just a simple lot which you will use in your game!

And yes StephSim, whenever I build a lot, I am always inspired by something, and I'm trying to be unique (like every other creator), so what? I will always build a lot and describe it as I feel for it, and people who like it will download it no matter what
