For all fans of Harry Potter (designed especially for children and their families), this is the perfect Oxford walking tour. See the key locations from the outside that inspired the Harry Potter Stories.
See Christ Church and the Divinity School (part of the world-famous Bodleian Library) from the outside, with a specially trained guide.
Christ Church Dining Hall looks magnificent from the outside – you can see why it was the inspiration for Hogwarts Great Hall! Your Guide will show you pictures of the famous staircase and cloisters used in the filming of Harry Potter, explaining how CGI was used to ‘magically’ alter some of these locations in various scenes.
The Divinity School was a location in several of the Harry Potter films (do you remember the Dance School and the Infirmary?) It is the oldest teaching hall of the whole of the University of Oxford, dating back to 1427. You can enter The Old Schools Quadrangle it sits within, which houses the different schools, including the ‘Schola Metaphysicae’. All are part of the world-famous Bodleian Libraries.
You may also be able to glimpse the Great Oak Tree over the New College walls… Your Guide will be able to advise you which magical sites you can go and see after your tour to make the very most of your Harry Potter visit to Oxford!
