First time poster and first time completing a (non-inn room) project. I know recreating Hogwarts at the Psijic Villa is not an original idea, but it certainly was my first thought when the Villa came out, and I've been working on it ever since. However, I'm finally (more or less) finished, so thought I'd share. I play on Xbox NA and am using 698/700 slots - waiting on a couple of Blackwood items, namely teacup and socks ;-) I'll continue to tweak over time as new furnishings show up, I'm sure.
Aesthetic and inspiration have largely been informed by the films, with as many references as I could figure out how to fit in, but I have taken some liberties with it as well. Additionally, where unavailable (eg Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff), I have drawn primarily from the written materials or even the video games. And with that, allow me to give you the tour.
Upon arrival, you'll find your luggage waiting for you by the thestral:
Say hello to Hagrid before heading in, but watch out for Norbert flying about:
Next, take in the enchanted ceiling as you enter the Great Hall:
Now, which house will you be sorted into? Will it be Gryffindor?
Or Hufflepuff? (You'll need to go by the kitchen; make sure you tap the right rhythm on the barrels!)
Maybe Ravenclaw?
Or even Slytherin?
Feel free to use the bathrooms to freshen up before class, although that tap at the back isn't working:
Many different subjects are taught at Hogwarts, including Potion making for the alchemically minded:
While Defence Against the Dark Arts is perfect for budding Aurors:
Transfiguration is a challenging class. Be on your best behaviour, though, as Professor McGonagall is always watching:
Divination will help you open your mind:
For a bit of fresh air, you can go out to the greenhouses for Herbology, though some of the plants can be dangerous (remember your earmuffs):
The library has all your research needs covered. Just stay out of the restricted section:

If you've stuck with me this far, thank you and hope you enjoyed it!
