I recently heard of Hogwarts: Your Story sim will be opening soon in Second Life. The official opening will be in early September 2011 apparently. However this is subject to change. Salvatore Otoro shares many wonderful snapshots during a recent tour and it’s worth checking out those preview photos to get some idea of what it looks like.

I’m a big fan of Harry Potter in real life and watched all the harry potter movies. I can’t wait to see it and go there!

`Hogwarts Prevails is the most realistic Harry Potter based wizarding Role Play Game (RPG) in Second Life. Set 40 years in the future of the Potterverse, come experience the magic of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade for yourself! + Photo Studio

The preview snapshots of the sims look amazing and wonderful. Here is a picture of the harry potter sims from the SL map.
