Harry Potter Highlights Walking Tour

Description

For all fans of Harry Potter (designed especially for children and their families), this is the perfect Oxford walking tour. Our friendly and knowledgeable guide will take you around the key locations that were used in the filming of the movies and also served as inspiration for the sets. From the ancient Divinity School, part of the world-famous Bodleian Library, to Christ Church, this tour will take you outside the historical landmarks of Oxford. You can learn which parts of the city and university were used in your favourite Harry Potter moments. The Divinity School was used as 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 will enter The Old Schools Quadrangle, which houses the different schools including the ‘Schola Metaphysicae’. You may even find your very own “lightning strike”! The magnificent Christ Church Dining Hall was used as the inspiration for Hogwarts Great Hall and the stairs were used in several early scenes. The hall will be pointed out to you as you stroll past Christ Church. Similarly, New College was used as a location for both the Cloisters and the tree where Malfoy was turned into a ferret! All our guides are familiar with Oxford’s other attractions and will be able to advise you which other magical sites you can visit after your tour, to make the very most of your Harry Potter tour of Oxford!
