ARTISTIC wizards have conjured up a huge replica of Hogwarts - using half a million MATCHSTICKS.

The wand-erful model, seen above, took three painstaking years to build and is held together with 15 gallons of glue.

It's exactly like the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry attended by Harry Potter and pals in the movies, starring Daniel Radcliffe.
.
Woodwork genius Pat Acton is behind the creation, currently on show at America's Matchstick Marvels museum.

His past works include a giant Starship Enterprise, Space Shuttle and the United States Capitol.
