Step into the magic of the Wizarding World on this 1.5-hour private Harry Potter tour, exploring the real Oxford locations that brought Hogwarts to life on screen. Led by an engaging and knowledgeable guide, this tour reveals the filming sites, inspirations, and behind-the-scenes secrets that make Oxford one of the series’ most iconic backdrops.

Visit the Divinity School, the stunning medieval hall that appeared as Hogwarts’ infirmary in multiple films. Marvel at its fan-vaulted ceiling and hear how the space was transformed for key scenes with Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

Wander through the historic grounds of New College, home to instantly recognisable locations including the cloisters and the famous courtyard where Draco Malfoy was turned into a ferret. Your guide will bring these scenes to life with stories of filming, production challenges, and the Hollywood magic that unfolded within these ancient walls.

Along the way, you’ll explore atmospheric lanes and colleges linked to Oxford’s long tradition of magic, learning, and myth, discovering how the city helped inspire the world of Harry Potter.

Please note: This tour does not visit Christ Church College, but focuses instead on Oxford’s other celebrated (and less crowded) Harry Potter filming sites.

Perfect for fans, families, and anyone curious about the wizarding world behind the camera.
