Welcome to the A Novel Holiday travel guidebook, Harry Potter Places Book Two--OWLs: Oxford Wizarding Locations, the second of five guidebooks designed to help Harry Potter Fans (Potterites) visit places found in the United Kingdom of Great Britain (the UK) that are associated with the Harry Potter Universe (the Potterverse). In the Potterverse, you'll find: ● Real-life places mentioned within J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels. ● Real-life locations where Harry Potter movie filming took place. ● Real-life sites that significantly influenced Harry Potter movie studio set design. Only 50 miles northwest of the UK's capital, Oxford is the most convenient outside-London location to visit via public transportation from London. Four iconic Harry Potter Places are found in Oxford's City Centre, with a fifth Potter Place merely 8 miles northwest of the city. The Bodleian Library contains two film sites: Duke Humfrey's Library (Hogwarts Library film site) and the Divinity School (Hogwarts' Infirmary scenes and Goblet of Fire dance lessons). Christ Church College's Dining Hall was the model used to design the Hogwarts Great Hall set seen in all eight Harry Potter movies. Actual location filming for Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets took place on the grand staircase leading up to the Dining Hall. New College was a film site for some Goblet of Fire courtyard scenes, including the incident when Mad-Eye Moody turned Draco Malfoy into a white ferret. Blenheim Palace, northwest of Oxford, is home to a readily recognizable tree where Order of the Phoenix flash-back scenes of young Severus Snape being bullied by James Potter and his entourage (Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew) were shot. Although near to London, the factors involved in planning an Oxford Wizarding Locations trip are far more complex than those required by any other Potter Place--especially if you want to visit Duke Humfrey's Library. We explain the Duke Humfrey's Library access dilemma, and provide in-depth directions for determining the best manner and date for your OWLs visit. Our itineraries identify the best order for visiting the OWLs on specific days, whether you arrive in Oxford via train, bus, or rental car. We also provide a fantabulous Oxford Wizarding Locations Map and directions for walking between Oxford arrival points and the central-city OWLs.
