Mr Freddy S
Took the Sunday Harry Potter Studios/Oxford Tour and had a great time. On Sundays, Oxford’s Christchurch College is not open in the morning, so there is a late start (10 am from across Great Portland Street tube station) allowing for extra winks of sleep. Arrives at 11:30 or so in Oxford, followed by a one-hour fast-paced guided walking tour around town. Most doing this tour are interested in the Harry Potter connections of Oxford and would probably want to catch a glimpse of the Great Hall which was the inspiration for the Hogwarts Dining Hall. This is NOT included in the package and must be purchased separately directly from Oxford. Tickets go on sale Thursday afternoon for the following week. Book online to avoid long wait times. We felt like VIPs and walked straight in at 2 pm when Christchurch opens. The bus leaves for Warner Bros Studios at 3:15 pm so you want to be efficient!!! The bus will leave without you! One couple unfortunately got left behind and had to take a taxi to the studios. Between the walking tour and Christchurch, we had time to eat a quick Sunday Roast and ale at the Turf Tavern and a very brief stop to buy an Oxford sweatshirt at a souvenir shop. You must be aware of the time at all times! There was no time to go to the Bodleian Library and Divinity School (£1 entry fee - where the Hogwarts infirmary was filmed and the Hogwarts Library) but this could be done if we had skipped lunch. We were just glad we could see the Great Hall and the famous staircase at Christchurch where students first enter/welcomes into Hogwarts in HP and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The WB Studios was great and given 3.5 hours which was a barely enough because we stopped to drink butter beer and eat cheeseburger with all the fixings/everything! on top at the backlot cafe. Got back to London at 9:30 pm
