The recent remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 brought players new versions of the cult classics, complete with modern visuals and updated features. Fans have done their best to make the game thrive through the custom parks feature, with one Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater player even managing to recreate the most iconic location from the Harry Potter franchise.
Shareable custom parks have allowed talented fans to pay homage to their other favorite games, and Pro Skater fan Skramblez has gone above and beyond with the park editor. Having already recreated Hyrule Temple in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, as well as Peach’s Castle, the skilled park designer has moved away from Nintendo to Harry Potter by creating the magical school of Hogwarts, and the castle-like building makes for a unique stage.
The creator posted a video of the park in action, and while it lacks some texture detail on its buildings and objects due to the limitations of the park creator, the effort put into the stage is clear. The iconic, castle-like exterior makes for plenty of unique platforms to skate on, and should offer opportunities for some stylish tricks. Skramblez must have put plenty of time into this latest creation, which is as impressive as Gunderstank_16’s recreation of Super Mario Sunshine’s Delfino Plaza.
With creative Tony Hawk players even recreating the skate parks from Spyro 3, there is no telling what fans will make next. Skramblez did their best to let fans skate through Hogwarts in style, as skins for Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and more were all shown off in the video. The only way the stage could be better is if props of wizards and owls could be added, though Skramblez did great with the tools available to him.
For players on PC who want to try out the special Tony Hawk stage, all that needs to be done is a quick search of the user’s name. However, there is a bit of bad news regarding the custom creation. With created parks and content being locked to each platform, console players will not be able to access Skramblez' magical park. This is one of the few downsides of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater remakes, as fans of the Wizarding World will need to make their own versions of Hogwarts if they are on PS4 or Xbox One.
With many fans requesting more Tony Hawk remakes, it will be interesting to see if Activision delivers. If it does, hopefully a bigger emphasis is made on the park creation features so even more detailed stages can be made.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
