Every Stop Has a Story

Tower of Spires

Wren's Gothic gateway tower, where Great Tom still rings 101 times every night for Christ Church's original scholars.

The Welcome to Hogwarts Staircase

The staircase where Professor McGonagall welcomes the first years, beneath a fan-vaulted ceiling built just before the Civil War.

The Trophy Cloisters

The medieval cloister where Hermione shows Harry his father's name on a Quidditch trophy in the first film.

Hogwarts Infirmary

The University's oldest teaching room, which became the Hogwarts hospital wing where Harry recovers after facing Quirrell.

The Restricted Section

The Bodleian's oldest reading room, Hogwarts' library on screen, where even King Charles I was refused permission to borrow a book.

The Hidden Pub

A hidden pub by the old city wall, linked to a famous Bob Hawke drinking record that turns out to be a legend.

Triwizard Cloisters

The cloisters where students wear "Potter Stinks" badges in Goblet of Fire, with medieval graves beneath the flagstones.

The Malfoy Oak

The cloister oak where Draco sneers from the branches before Mad-Eye Moody turns him into a ferret.

The Stone Guardians

New College's first-of-its-kind quad, where grotesques along the rooftops recall the stone defenders of Hogwarts.
