The passion of pop culture fans can often lead to the birth of completely crazy projects, which sometimes seem unrealizable. But we may have found the craziest of them, and it concerns the fascinating and ultra-popular universe of Harry Potter. On his StudiosVAL YouTube channel, content creator Valérian Lasseyte and his apprentice engineer friend Pierre Brochier aim to recreate the iconic Hogwarts castle on a 1/1 scale, i.e. life-size. And we are not talking about the (already sublime) sandbox and virtual creations that can be found in video games like Minecraft, but of a huge building made of concrete and steel that it will be possible to visit and more. In a long video, the videographer explains his disproportionate project in several parts, “from dream to reality”. Unlike Harry Potter Park at Universal Studios in Orlando, which is a set, the latter plans to build from scratch the emblematic school of wizards imagined by JK Rowling. Valérian Lasseyte thought about both the exterior of the castle, with the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid’s hut, the Quidditch stadium or the Forbidden Forest, as well as its interior, where the bedrooms of the four houses are located, the Great Hall , the Room of Requirement, the Chamber of Secrets, and so on. But since magic does not exist in our world, the young dreamer proposes to rehabilitate these mythical places into entertainment and/or work zones. It evokes a cinema, a museum, a hotel-restaurant, and even a high school and a project incubator. In short, the idea is to transform the Hogwarts of our world into a place that is both educational, entertaining and artistic, whether it is built in France or in Great Britain, the place of origin of the wizards of the saga. .In the second part of his video, Valérian Lasseyte goes into more detail on the vertiginous logistics of such a project, which will have to start with the author’s validation and the authorizations of the Warner studios, then on the studies on the feasibility of such a project and the funding amounting to several million (or even billion) euros. In particular, he proposes to launch crowdfunding in the vein of the Star Citizen video game or the EOS.IO blockchain platform, disproportionate projects that have emerged largely thanks to the mobilization of fans and enthusiasts. Aficionado of the Harry Potter universe, the videographer relies mainly on the moral and financial support of the community of Potterheads, oh so numerous throughout the world. A somewhat crazy and demiurge project but which leaves you dreaming and could make France shine internationally and in the eyes of pop culture fans, in particular those who have always dreamed, in vain, of receiving their admission letter. at Hogwarts.
