Thanks to the film series visits to the cathedral have risen to over 350,000 a year! Interestingly, the Hall has been in almost constant use since the 16th century where members of the college can eat three daily meals including a formal dinner in the evenings where gowns must be worn. It’s not a surprise its Renaissance splendour attracted the makers of the Harry Potter films as until the 1870s this was the largest Hall in Oxford. It’s the only college in the world which is also a cathedral and was originally founded by Thomas Wolsey, Lord Chancellor of England, as Cardinal’s College in 1524.Ĭhrist Church’s Great Hall, the centre of the lively student life within the college, became an inspiration for Hogwarts’ own Great Hall.
Far more alluring than the on-screen locations, Christ Church is within easy reach for European viewers. It will come as no surprise the most iconic Harry Potter scenes were all filmed at the most magnificent and architecturally imposing of all the Oxford Colleges, the 16th century Christ Church.
