Full description

Meet your Oxford University student guide in central Oxford and head for the Hogwarts' Infirmary, set in one of the halls of the famous Bodleian Library. Imagine the infirmary’s beds in place here, and admire the richly sculpted beasts and biblical carvings that appeared in many of the Harry Potter movies. Next, explore one or two of Oxford’s oldest colleges, delving into the rooms and cloisters that featured as Hogwarts’ gloomy interior. See other filming locations and hear trivia about the characters and movie productions. Test your knowledge of all things Harry Potter with our custom quiz. Along the way, hear about Oxford’s influence in famous children’s literature, from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to The Hobbit.

Awesome tour, I enjoyed it a lot. Our guide was amazing, she stayed in character the whole time, was really approachable and delivered all the facts in a very entertaining way. All the different stops were well chosen and the inside information to the filming of the movies were very interesting. I loved the additional information about Lord of the Rings and Narnia as well!!

We had the 11:30 tour on Monday. Our guide was terrific. She was dressed in Harry Potter clothes and called up so many examples of the book. She created teams for a little competition. She was very entertaining and knowledgeable about how to present the tour Well done-Marion Horn

It was superb, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She navigated us through the busy streets brilliantly and even gave us a helpful phone call and directions just before the tour was due to start as we were held up and running slightly late. The tour covers much more than the Harry Potter filming locations and I highly recommend it!
