Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Blackwell's Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford OX1 3BQ England

Not quite Flourish and Blotts but as close as a muggle bookshop can be. Blackwells is the dream of every Ravenclaw, holding approximately holding 250, 000 volumes, which translates to 3 miles of books! This is even more impressive knowing that their first store measured only 12 feet square, and held just 700 used books.
Don't forget to have a look at the roof of the building from a distance. Don't worry the stone figure you'll see on top isn't someone petrified. It is a statue by Antony Gormley; one of a series of sculptures called “Another Time II”.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Bodleian Library Bodleian Library Broad Street, Oxford OX1 3BG England

One of the largest libraries in England and home to archaic medieval books on spells and wizards!

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Clarendon Building, Broad St., Oxford OX1 3BA England

Learn about how magic or occult sciences were studied at Oxford! These were not seen as completely separate from science until the end of the seventeenth century, so alchemy and astrology were researched here until then.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: New College, Holywell Street, Oxford OX1 3BN England

Despite the name, it is one of the oldest Colleges at Oxford, built-in 1379. With its medieval cloisters and beautiful spaces it is easy to see why they decided to film multiple scenes for Harry Potter here!

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Radcliffe Camera, Radcliffe Square, Oxford OX1 4AJ England

A truly iconic Oxford landmark! Learn about the underground passages students take and the rules librarians enforce. Not quite as intensely as Madam Pince though.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, The High Street University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 4BJ England

An iconic door hidden to the side would be inspirational for another famous children's writer, CS Lewis for his famous Chronicles Of Narnia. Hear how he and Tolkien would meet weekly and take inspiration from the Oxford landscape

Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: 6 Alfred St, Oxford OX1 4EH, UK

The Bear Inn also known as The Bear is our Oxford equivalent of the Three Broomsticks, dating back to 1242. While butterbeer is not something you can order you are bound to be amazed by their tie collection and the stores behind it.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Christ Church Meadow, Oxford OX1 1DP England

Before diving into the wonders of Christ Church itself we will tell you about another magical connection: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Christ Church, St. Aldates, Oxford OX1 1DP England

The tour will end next to Christ Church with a description of how it inspired Hall at Hogwarts (but was actually not the real Hall as it was too small!) You can book direct with them to go inside at this point, or head back to the city center with the guide

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: The Divinity School, Oxford OX1 3AZ, UK

This dramatic site is not only one of the oldest parts of the University, but it was also used in various scenes when filming of Harry Potter was taking place in Oxford. Instantly recognisable as a Harry Potter site, with one of the best examples of medieval architecture in England.
