Oxford And Harry Potter

Oxford accommodations offer vacationers and business people alike luxury lodgings in a city filled with rich history.  By renting a home or apartment for the duration of your stay, you will be able to also save yourself some money, money which could be spent on entrance fees and souvenirs from a very interesting look at the city and the area surrounding it.  What look does your Oxford accommodation afford you?  A look at the many different places in and around the city that were used during the filming of the five movies in the popular Harry Potter series.

Leave you comfortable Oxford accommodations and take a day trip to Christ Church College.  The great Dining Hall in the College and many of the beautiful staircases within the College were used during filming to create parts of Hogwarts’.  Other areas of the college’s campus were also used to recreate the library and infirmary of the wizard’s school. 

Careful observers who travel to Gloucester Cathedral from Christ Church College will recognize the cloisters as from the movies as the entranceway to both the school and the Gryffindor Dorm.  Many of the ghost scenes and talking portrait scenes were filmed here and featured in the first movie.  The scenes with ‘Moaning Myrtle’ and the mysterious red writing in Hogwarts’ corridors were also filmed at Gloucester.

From your accommodations in Oxford, you can catch a train and travel north for a day to see the Glenfinnan Viaduct which was used for many scenes containing Hogwarts Express.  You’ll be able to see much of the British countryside and then visit the Scottish Highlands for a brief amount of time before heading back to Oxford.  When you return to Oxford the next day, visit the Oxford University, most specifically the Bodleian Library.  This is the library you see Harry visit beneath his cloak of invisibility in the very first movie.  Once you are done there, return to your self-catering residence for a hearty dinner and some family time.

You’ve seen locations in Oxford and a piece of Scotland.  It’s now time to take an hour drive from your Oxford accommodation and visit the many places in London where scenes from the popular movie series took place.  Platform 9-3/4 is really Kings Cross Station.  The railway station and corresponding Underground terminal is one of the major hubs in the city.  Go to the reptile house at the London Zoo and you’ll be able to see the snake Harry frees in the ‘Sorcerer’s Stone’.  You’ll be able to see the different places used to film the Leaky Cauldron scenes as well as Gringott’s bank and Diagon Alley.

There are numerous Harry Potter tours in both cities and the surrounding areas that are accessible from your Oxford accommodations.  It is recommended that you book these three to ten hour tours in advance as some of the sites are closed to the public during specific times of the year.  Once you’ve taken the tour and arrived back at your accommodations in Oxford, sit down and journal your day so that you can always remember the fun you had following J.K. Rowling’s enterprising wizard.
