Oxford Harry Potter Tour: Hogwarts film sites with student guide
Stand inside the actual Hogwarts sets and hear how they filmed the scenes
A 90-minute Harry Potter walking tour of Oxford visits the film locations used for Hogwarts in the first two movies, including New College's cloisters, dining hall, gardens and chapel. Groups stay under ten people, and a live English-speaking guide leads the route. Children from age 8 are welcome.
The Experience
The tour starts in Oxford and moves through the college buildings that doubled as Hogwarts on screen. New College's cloisters appear in both Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets; the dining hall, gardens and chapel are woven through the same films. A guide who knows the production details walks you through each location and explains what you're standing in and how it appeared on film.
Because the group maxes out at ten people, you move through the spaces without the crowds that gather at bigger tours. The 90-minute pace means you cover the main sites without rushing or padding the day with filler stops. The guide speaks English and is there to answer questions about the filming, the books and the locations themselves.
What’s included
- Live English-speaking guide.
- entry to New College's cloisters, dining hall, gardens and chapel.
