About this tour
Explore Oxford's filming locations from the Harry Potter series on this half-guided, half-independent three-hour walk. Your guide leads you through Christ Church and the Divinity School (where available), revealing how Hogwarts was brought to life within these historic college buildings. You'll then spend the final hour navigating independently with an audio guide, comparing fictional wizarding life with the real academic traditions of Oxford University. Entry fees up to £28 are included.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at 9:30am sharp and walks you through Christ Church's quads, staircases and dining hall—recognisable to anyone who's watched the films. You'll learn how different rooms were adapted for shooting and hear Oxford University details that add context to the locations. If the Divinity School is open, you'll visit this separate venue with your guide; otherwise, entry to New College replaces it. The final 60 minutes are self-guided using an audio guide you'll receive, allowing you to revisit areas or explore at your own pace. This isn't a film-only experience—Oxford's scholarly heritage and architectural merit are woven throughout.
