Enjoy a 90-minute walking tour through the magical world of Harry Potter, right here in Oxford. Led by a University of Oxford alumnus or current student, this tour is perfect for fans who want to follow in the footsteps of their favourite characters.

You’ll visit the bookshop where J.K. Rowling first presented her books, see where Emma Watson not only acted but also studied, and pass by familiar faces like Nearly Headless Nick. You'll recognise the arches and gothic pinnacles seen in the films — some around the famous Divinity School, others hidden in plain sight throughout the city.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to New College, one of Oxford’s most beautiful colleges, where you’ll find the very tree under which Draco Malfoy was turned into a ferret. From quiet cloisters to scenes straight out of the wizarding world, this is a must for anyone who’s ever dreamed of Hogwarts.

    A great mix of Harry Potter lore and locations as well as general Oxford University facts. Our guide Gladson was great at tailoring our tour to the groups interests but then going more in depth with myself and my sister who wanted to see a bit more of the uni, as well as giving us some tips of other things to do in Oxford after the tour.

  • Lots of fun info!

    We were so lucky to find Ștefan, he is very charismatic and offered incredible details of both Harry Potter and Oxford. He also made the walk super fun with some trivia and jokes. Ștefan Was also very patient when he waited for me to translate for my mother. Thank you!

    Exceeded expectations! A wonderful mix of University history intertwined with Harry Potter highlights. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was difficult to locate him in town at first so some better signage would be my only feedback.
