The Floo Network, a team of Minecraft modders, has spent the last four or so years diligently carving out an elaborate Harry Potter RPG inside the sandbox, and it goes well beyond what you might expect from a Minecraft mod. After being in alpha for just over a month, it's now ready for prime time. Check out the launch trailer above.

Right away, when those bricks magically part to reveal the street (the name escapes me because the last time I read Harry Potter it was an entirely different millennium) it's clear we're dealing with something a bit special. 

On its own, the map itself looks very impressive, recreating a host of locations from the books and films in great detail, but then there's also all the magical flourishes, spell-slinging puzzles and even quidditch—there's a lot more to do than just explore Hogwarts. You'll have to fight, too, putting your magical know-how to the test as you deal with pesky Dementors and other assorted monsters. 

Even if you're not enamoured with Harry Potter, it's well worth having a look around. You can download it now for Java Minecraft 1.13.2, or just gawk at some of the striking screenshots below.

Fraser Brown
Online Editor

Fraser is the UK online editor and has actually met The Internet in person. With over a decade of experience, he's been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
