    I was kinda hoping that the stairs would be stagnant. In the books the stairs don’t move all the time. In Philosopher’s Stone, it’s described as there being a main marble grand staircase, with rickety and older stairs throughout. Some lead to other places on Wednesdays than what they would on Fridays. There’s doors pretending to be walls, side passages, and trick vanishing steps that if you step on, you sink in. There’s a side passage with a spiral staircase that leads to Ravenclaw tower on the fifth floor, cold stone stairs that lead to dungeons. I’m fine with moving stairs as long as they at least throw in different styled stairs throughout

    The new stair design was the fix I came up with in my head for it, I approve.
    The main problem I could see with the original stairs would've been invisible walls and FPS drops, all those moving parts + moving students + lighting changes and so forth really would drop your FPS like a brick, but this new design should be alot smoother and while I think it defeats the idea of "the stairs sometimes go in directions you don't want them to go in", we'll have to wait and see

    I think you nailed it and it is probably 90% what it is. From what we saw on the the new staircase videos we can clearly see a section cut off in the central pillar so it makes sense that it forms step by step as we walk rather than have the entire staircase forms every time we approach it. This also clears some memory and processing in case the player decides to go back so the stairs stop forming and revert back however many steps they produced.

    It was always confusing how, exactly, the moving staircases worked.
    The movies made them look square-shaped, now they look spiral-shaped.

    Retro, do you think we are going to have loading screens to go in or out Hogwarts? And that the castle that we see from outside is just an empty shell? The youtuber "Wife wants a Wizard" couldnt figure out where the great staircase is in Hogwarts (by looking from outside) and, the fact that we have all the Windows of the Ravenclaw's common roon showing that blurry white light (and not the actual outside) made me think that we're gonna have that "Exit Hogwarts" option.

    The thing that I don’t like about both of these versions in the games is that the stairs are supposed to be changing where they are going constantly confusing the students and causing them to get lost while these ones seam to just come out as a student needs to use them but doesn’t change where they lead, the movies did it accurately in the sense they change around and get students lost

    I will say.. regardless of speed or gameplay experience.. I wish they would have kept the staircase the way it was in the movies. In my opinion, the movies made the staircase seem like such a magical concept and they never came off as mechanical to me.
    After playing the game. I wish they would have stuck to the movies a bit more in terms of the actual architecture of Hogwarts. Or I would at least like to see some explanation to reconcile the (in my opinion) rather jarring change from what you see in the movies.
    When I walk into the main entrance. I expect to see another set of giant doors leading into the great hall in front of me, and the grand staircase to the right.
    I mean.. it’s just the architecture that I have come to know through previous games and all of the movies for years.. and this is no small part of Hogwarts architecture.. this is like the highway system of the school essentially.. without it.. Hogwarts just feels disjointed and discombobulating to try navigating
    All in all though.. it still feels like hogwarts. I still love the game.. I would be perfectly happy if they just somehow wrote in some Easter eggs about a planned reconstruction to a new layout that was set to take place in few years from the time set in the game.

    I'm wondering if 1) the inside of the castle is the same map as the outside, without loading time, and 2) if not, if the inside reflects the map and scale of the outside. That is, you see a window on the outside, it corresponds to a window on the inside. I was a bit disappointed to see the ravenclaw and griffindor common rooms are so lit you can't see the outside. It might be a separate map from the outside.

      They definitely move in the books...just maybe not quite how the movies show it. From the first book: "There were a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts: wide, sweeping ones; narrow, rickety ones; some that led somewhere different on a Friday; some with a vanishing step halfway up that you had to remember to jump. Then there were doors that wouldn't open unless you asked politely, or tickled them in exactly the right place, and doors that weren't really doors at all, but solid walls just pretending. It was also very hard to remember where anything was, because it all seemed to move around a lot."
      And Rowling - in a Scholastic live chat - answered the following question: Do you have an actual floorplan for Hogwarts? Do you use it when writing the books? "I haven't drawn it, because it would be difficult for the most skilled architect to draw, owing to the fact that the staircases and the rooms keep moving. However, I have a very vivid mental image of what it looks like."

    That said I wasn't a fan of previous games staircases swivelling and just taking there time like they knew you were trying to get somewhere fast and deliberately went slow.
    Also what are the loading times going on be like for old gen? I really hope it's nothing like the 2nd game that was awful I hope it's seamless we just exit and boom we're outside or in another classroom or when ever we exit there's no obnoxious load screen and if there is what about including something like marvels spiderman we see him take the subway so our character could be see on a mount or perhaps gameplay moments where we kick ass or just great moments selected by us.
