Oxford Harry Potter Day Trip 🪄✨

🌍 Itinerary Paddington Station, London 🚂 → Oxford Station → The Covered Market → Oxford Playhouse → Radcliffe Camera → Bridge of Sighs → Christ Church College (Hogwarts Hall) → Alice’s Shop 🧙🏻‍♀️ First Stop: The Covered Market "Diagon Alley" vibes: This century-old market feels like stepping behind the Leaky Cauldron! 📸 Photo tip: Find the vintage stall covered in pocket watches – perfect for a Fantastic Beasts vibe! 🎭 Second Stop: Oxford Playhouse Fun fact: This is where the Harry Potter audio drama was once performed! The retro arches outside are super photogenic. 📚 Third Stop: Radcliffe Camera – The Magic Library The inspiration for Hogwarts’ Restricted Section! J.K. Rowling drew inspiration here while writing The Philosopher’s Stone. 📸 Shot idea: Stand in the middle of the square and shoot upward – capture the dome against the sky. Add a filter, and it’s the Ravenclaw common room! 🌉 Fourth Stop: Bridge of Sighs – The “Azkaban” for Students There’s a small windowsill across the bridge – perfect for reenacting Harry and Ron’s wall-climbing scene! 🏰 Fifth Stop: Christ Church College – Hogwarts Dining Hall! ⚠️ Book tickets (£20) in advance on the official website! Arrive on time – or you might be turned away by a “house elf”… 😅 I ended up browsing the gift shop again and again 🛍️ Dining Hall tips: The Grand Staircase: Where Professor McGonagall greeted first-years! Be prepared to queue for photos – it’s smaller than you’d expect! The Corridor: Even more stunning than in the movies! Don’t forget to look up and capture the vaulted ceiling. 🐇 Final Stop: Alice’s Shop – Magical Souvenirs “Mad Hatter-approved”: Packed with Alice and Harry Potter merch! Recommend: “Drink Me” mini potion bottles and vintage quills 🖋️✨ 🚂 Return Trip Tip Platform 9¾ alternative: The red brick arch at Oxford Station – push a luggage cart and pretend you’re running toward the Hogwarts Express! 🧳⚡ #HarryPotter #Oxford #UKTravel #UK #TravelPlog #TravelDiary #TravelGuide #Photography 📸
