Step into the world of Harry Potter and discover the real Oxford locations that helped bring the magic of Hogwarts to life.

This alumni-led walking tour combines the iconic filming locations of the Harry Potter series with the rich history of Oxford University, offering a unique and immersive experience of both.

Your guide, a current student or graduate of the University of Oxford, will lead you through the historic streets, colleges, and courtyards that featured in the films or inspired J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world.

As part of the experience, you will visit some of Oxford’s most famous sites, including the Divinity School, whose extraordinary Gothic interior was used as a Hogwarts filming location, and New College, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire were filmed in its cloisters and courtyard (subject to availability).

Beyond the film locations, this tour also provides a deeper understanding of Oxford itself — its traditions, architecture, and the stories of the people who studied here.

The shared tour offers a fun, engaging group experience, while the private option provides a more personalised journey, with the flexibility to tailor the pace, focus, and depth of your tour.
