Fun Harry Potter Guided Tours

In response to the fabulous interest folks all over the world have to the Harry Potter book series and movies, guided tours
involving all things Harry Potter have popped up everywhere.  A perfect tour for families and fans alike, many visitors will
come to have a greater appreciation for the filming of this famous series of movies.
Many Harry Potter guided tours begin in London where you’ll visit the London Zoo, called the Little Whinging Zoo in the book.
The scene where Harry speaks to the snake took place in the reptile house at this otherwise wonderful family attraction.
Then, it’s on to the Kings Cross Station, where Harry’s Platform 9 ¾ took Harry on the Hogwarts Express.
Many Harry Potter guided tours go straight over from the train station to the Australia House on the Strand, the building
that was transformed into Gringotts Wizarding Bank in the movie.   A short ways away is the Charing Cross Road, also known
in the movie as Diagon Alley, where Harry bought his school supplies and his wand.
While in London, Harry Potter guided tours often let you see some of the other more ordinary sites in the city. Don’t forget
to stop at the Westminster Tube Station where Harry and Mr. Weasley stop on their trip to the Ministry of Magic hearing.
Just down the road from the station is the red telephone booth near Scotland Yard that Harry used to get into the Ministry.
A most exciting stop on Harry Potter guided tours is a trip to Oxford where you’ll visit Christ Church College, the site of
many of the interior scenes of Hogwarts Academy, including the great hall, where the students of Hogwarts ate.  The Duke
Humphrey’s Library was featured as the library inside Hogwarts.  Truly, there are places all over Oxford where Harry Potter
movie scenes were filmed, including the Divinity School, which was turned into the hospital wing at Hogwarts.
