The Dreaming Spires of Oxford were a natural choice for Harry Potter’s Gothic architecture. Many scenes were filmed in Christ Church college, including the staircase used for the scene where Professor McGonagall meets Harry, Ron and Hermione, and the Tudor Great Dining Hall, which inspired the great Hogwarts’ Dining Hall. Christ Church’s lucky students eat here among the portraits and panelling every day; all that’s missing are the enchanted ceiling and floating candles.
