	Harry Potter Gloucester & Oxford- 10 hrs Many of the Hogwart's school scenes were filmed at Oxford University. In several of the films, Oxford provided Hogwart's staircase notably in the first film where Professor McGonagall greets the schoolchildren upon their arrival. Oxford also provided the Great Hall on which Hogwart's dining room was modelled (pictured) and the Library which provided the scenes for Hogwart's infirmary and Ron's dancing lesson with Professor McGonagall. In 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' and 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', Oxford provided the settings for the 'defence against the Dark Arts' scene in which Mad-eye Moody demonstrates the three unforgivable curses and Malfoy's transformation into a ferret. Further adventures of Harry Potter and his friends were shot at the Norman Cathedral of Gloucester (pictured right), a place of worship for more than 1300 years, including the Ghost scenes and talking portraits in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' ('Sorcerer's Stone' US version). The Cathedral is also featured in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' including the scenes featuring the ghost Moaning Myrtle, and the mysterious appearance of the red writing in Hogwarts' corridors ... "The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware". (The forthcoming sixth movie 'Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince' is currently being filmed at Gloucester Cathedral) In an extra hour you can also include Lacock Abbey, where some of the classroom scenes were filmed. The beautiful village of Lacock will evoke memories in the minds of avid film buffs - it was also used in the period dramas Emma and Pride and Prejudice (open in the Summer months). Oxford can be combined with other historic sights: Shakespeare's Stratford, or Blenheim Palace (grounds only open November to Mid March), or the Cotswolds - see our usual day tours. Please note: some of the film's locations are University colleges which sometimes close to the public at short notice.
