How Tall Is Hogwarts? I Am Building A Model Railroad And Wanted To Add A Certain School!?The models I will use will be 1:160 (i.e. one foot would be modeled at 0.075 inches). The Hogwarts Express train I will be using will be in 1:148 scale (i.e. it takes .0812 inches To Model 1 foot of structure). Noble says their Hogwarts Model 'Measures approximately 13 inches in height,' but it looks like most of that is comprised of cliffs, their Hogwarts is about 7 inches. That would make the Astronomy peak come close To looking 93 feet high next To other American N (1:160) scale structures-- and about 86 feet tall compared To the British N-gauge (1:148) train. A) Does anyone own the Noble Collection Hogwarts, and if so, How tall is just the Hogwarts portion of it? How accurate is this sculpt based on what we see in the movie and what is in the books? This sculpture has no way of internal lighting, correct? B) Does J.K. Rowling ever list the height of Hogwarts in any of the books? How tall is the Astronomy Tower? Does she mention the height of any particular landmarks? [ Read More ]
