About the Tour

This fun, friendly, and fascinating Oxford Harry Potter Tour is packed with amazing sights and stories about the filming of some of the most iconic scenes in the adventures of the Hogwarts wizards.

This is the only Harry Potter guided tour to visit all three Oxford University film locations.

Why?

Because your tour guide is a fully authorised, accredited guide for both the Divinity School, and Christ Church.

Unaccredited guides are not allowed to guide in these two University sites, no matter what their websites say…

 

Guided Visit

“You learn so much more than just wandering around on your own.”

Join me on a guided walking tour of Oxford University to explore the film sites of the Harry Potter movies in Oxford.

 

Special Tour

You visit all three movie locations – Divinity School, New College, and Christ Church.

Entry fees and ticketing are all handled for you.

 

SPECIFIC PLACES YOU WILL SEE

 

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.

 

The Great Hall Christ Church Dining Hall Hogwarts

 

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 Great Staircase

Oxford Harry Potter Tour Christ Church Great Staircase

 

In The Chamber of Secrets, after their wild flight in the Ford Anglia, Harry and Ron sneak back into Hogwarts — only to be met by Filch, and of course with Mrs Norris looking on…!

 

 

Christ Church – The Cloisters

Oxford Harry Potter Tour Christ Church Cloisters James Potter Seeker Trophy

 

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.

 

Bodleian Library – Divinity School

Oxfrod Harry Potter Tour Professor Dumbledore Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans

 

Harry’s first confrontation with Lord Voldemort in the Philosopher’s Stone left him recovering in Hogwarts Infirmary, which was shot in the beautiful Bodleian Library’s Divinity School.

This awesome vaulted space is where Harry wakes up at the end of the first film after confronting Voldemort for the first time.

And where Professor McGonagall teaches Ron how to dance for the Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Find out how movie director Mike Newell got a natural performance out of the young actors.

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

Oxford Harry Potter Tour Potter Stinks New College 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!

Dracoy Malfoy about to be turned into a ferret by Mad Eye Moody(But is it really Mad-Eye Moody…?).

There’s a funny story about the real ‘actor’ ferret…

🪄 Harry Potter Oxford Tour – Cancellation & Refund Policy

Here’s how our cancellation policy works:

– If you cancel more than 48 hours in advance, we’ll refund 50% of your ticket price.

– If you cancel less than 48 hours before the tour, we’re unfortunately unable to offer a refund, as your guide will already be booked and entry fees committed.

– If you’re cancelling due to illness, we may be able to offer a partial refund or reschedule — we just ask for some proof (for our insurance).

– If we need to cancel (e.g. bad weather), you’ll get a full refund or a chance to reschedule — your choice.

Please also be aware of start times. We have timed entry to the venues so we must start on time please. If you are travelling to Oxford by road please allow plenty of time.

Oxford is notoriously bad for traffic delays!

By the way, all of these circumstances are as rare as Dobby keeping a secret!
