10/Aug/2013 Oxford shire
It was extremely amazing place for serious Harry Potter fans :0 I'm a big fan of HP since I was around 12 years old, and the reason why i decided to live in London is only for Harry Potter actually. I'm still keep watching Harry Potter every night during I'm sleeping. First, I followed a guide who show history and building of Oxford and is a ex-worker in Oxford Uni. There are many building which were built more than 400 years ago and are still working as a campus!! 0 0 I'm always surprised by these British stuffs, coz though they were built long time ago, people still use...It's common in the UK...
My friend said when he said 'Harry Potter', I got alive, though my appearance was looked so sleepy and wanted to smoke. lol The guide man was surprised as well. When he said only 2 or 3 words related with HP, I got what he wants to say and which part of the film...lol Anyway, I have the right to go to Hogwarts. haha After he finished to show there, I got free time. Of course, I ran to the place of HP. I didn't have any maps and plenty of time, coz all building would close until 4pm!!!!!! But at this time my sight was clear. I remembered all direction and the name of buildings the guide told me.
These above 3 pics shows the place Malfoy was changed an animal by Moody in Goblet of fire. I was so so so excited. I found a branch which looks like a wand. Third pic is the scene Harry told to Ron ' stay away from me'.
This room is the hospital in Hogwarts. Harry used this room many times. lol
The stairs!!!!!!!!!! When Harry arrived to Hogwarts for the first time, he went up this upstairs. And Malfoy told to Harry, 'it's true, Harry Potter is coming to Hogwarts'. I was impressed so much than I had expected.
This is the famous dining room in Hogwarts. Actually it's the dining of Oxford uni..lol I and my friend were disappointed a bit, coz it doesn't have magical ceiling.... !!lol it exists definitely in real world.... - -
This place was used in Philosophy's stone. In the winter scene, Harry walked with Hedwig on snow.
Anyway, as you can see, I enjoyed so much!!! This is one of the most my favorite place in the world. If i have a chance, I will go again! I couldn't go one place which is used as a library in Hogwarts. There is restricted book place in the first film!!!! hohoho
My access to Oxford from London
>>London Paddington station: I went there with 3 of my friends, so I could be discounted from ￡20 to ￡12. So i recommend to go there with 3 or 4 of them. They have a discounting system for 3 or 4 people.
>> it took about 1 hour journey
In my case, my teacher applied the guide. But you can check on this website.
