Another memorable scene is when Harry uses his Cloak of Invisibility for the first time to enter the restricted section of the Hogwarts Library without being seen.
New College – The Cloisters
The atmospheric 14th century cloisters within New College doubled as the Hogwarts hallways in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
It is here where Harry pushes through a crowd of his fellow students as they ridicule him with Potter Stinks badges.
It’s also where Harry tips Cedric off about the dragons they’ll be battling in the first task.
And in the middle stands the majestic 200 year old holm oak tree which features in the scene immediately following Harry and Cedric’s exchange where Malfoy taunts Harry, prompting Mad-Eye Moody to turn him into a ferret!
(But is it really Mad-Eye Moody…?).
There’s a funny story about the real ‘actor’ ferret…
Finally we will head to the magnificent Christ Church.
Christ Church – The 16th century Dining Hall
Here in the magnificent college of Christ Church is their Dining Hall which provided the inspiration for the Great Hall at Hogwarts.
Actually they never filmed in the Hall, the set was built based on pictures of the real Hall, but it’s instantly recognisable as soon as you walk into its gothic magnificence.
They did film at the top of the grand staircase, where Professor McGonagall famously welcomed Harry, Ron and Hermione and the other students to Hogwarts.
Christ Church – The Cloisters
After Harry has been made seeker for the Gryffindor quidditch team, Hermione tells Harry being a seeker is “in his blood” and shows him a display case in the hallway containing a quidditch trophy with his father James’ name on it.
This scene was filmed here just outside the ancient 12th century Chapter House doorway on the left.
In all these locations you’ll be able to stop, pose for photos, and imagine you’re in the wizardly world of Harry Potter.
