Beyond its towers, courtyards, and dungeons, players are free to explore the entire Hogwarts Grounds, including the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's Hut, and the Quidditch Pitch, along with other locations in the Wizarding World, such as The Burrow, Hogsmeade, the Ministry of Magic, and even Azkaban. The world of Harry Potter that players can explore isn't limited to Hogwarts Castle. It never made it into the films, so book fans will certainly find it refreshing to see details like these built into this Harry Potter Minecraft RPG map. This was an organization that Hermione creates in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to raise awareness for the injustice of house-elf treatment in the wizarding world. S.P.E.W. stands for Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. In order to learn the Alohomora spell from her, players need to travel to Hogsmeade (which is another beautifully recreated area), and put up S.P.E.W. The most prominent example of this is one of the early missions players receive from Hermione.

Every single area of the castle that appears in the films is recreated in this world, but what is truly interesting to see is that there is a breadth of elements to the game - locations, missions, or even props on classroom tables - that are direct references to Harry Potter lore that never made it into the films.
