Come and join a local guide and a small group of travelers for a wonderful day in Oxford! You will visit interesting landmarks and see “the City of Dreaming Spires” from a magical point of view!
Along your Harry Potter Free Tour, you will explore stunning colleges and Harry Potter locations, including, of course, Christ Church. This superb building was founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII and played a crucial role during the English Civil War. Its stunning halls are worth a visit by themselves, but Harry Potter fans will be delighted to find here the real incarnation of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Christ Church Great Hall, is a stunning student’s canteen which provided the inspiration for Hogwarts’ dining hall. There aren’t any enchanted hats or floating candles, but the tall ceilings, old portraits, and long benches will transport you to a magical world.
Walking with your knowledgeable guide, you will learn that the Bodleian Library and the Bodley staircase, leading up to Christ Church Hall, were also used in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, when Professor McGonagall welcomes the children. The cloisters in the New College (which, in fact, dates back to the 14th century) also feature prominently in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”. And can you remember what happened near the big tree in the courtyard? Along the tour, you will also learn many curiosities about the filming of the series, and learn about the traditional taverns where actors used to hang out after each day of work!
