The Convocation House at Oxford's Bodleian Library wasn't specifically a Harry Potter film location, but it can be seen on tours that also include Duke Humfrey's Library, which was used for the Hogwarts library, and the Divinity School, which served as Hogwarts' infirmary. You can visit these locations by taking a guided library tour at the Bodleian, which must be booked in advance, and a 60-minute tour includes a visit to Convocation House. What it is: Convocation House is a hall in the Bodleian Library complex where the university's general assemblies take place. It is adjacent to the Divinity School, which was used as the Hogwarts infirmary in the Harry Potter films.

The Divinity School is a breathtaking 15th‑century hall adjoining Oxford's Bodleian Library. Built between 1427 and 1483 in the Perpendicular Gothic style, it is the oldest surviving purpose‑built teaching room at any university. Its lierne‑vaulted ceiling features 455 carved bosses, and the tall arched windows flood the stone hall with light. Originally used for theological lectures and oral examinations, the room later hosted university ceremonies and is now reserved for events and guided tours. Its grandeur and historical significance make it an architectural gem within the Bodleian complex. The Divinity School served as the Hogwarts Hospital Wing throughout the Harry Potter films. In *Philosopher's Stone* it appears when Harry awakens after confronting Voldemort. In *Chamber of Secrets* the hall hosts Madam Pomfrey's infirmary scenes as Harry regrows his bones and Hermione lies petrified. The space is seen again in *Prisoner of Azkaban* when Harry and Hermione depart to use the Time‑Turner. Later films revisit the Divinity School: Ron recovers here after being poisoned in *Half‑Blood Prince*, and in *Goblet of Fire* Professor McGonagall teaches students to dance for the Yule Ball. The hall's vaulted ceiling and stone bays create a believable wizarding infirmary and one of the series' most recognisable interiors.

Duke Humfrey’s Library is the oldest reading room in Oxford’s Bodleian Library and one of Europe’s earliest purpose‑built libraries. Constructed between 1450 and 1480 above the Divinity School, it was named for Humphrey of Lancaster, the first Duke of Gloucester, whose 281‑volume bequest in 1447 formed the university’s first substantial collection. The narrow aisles, oak bookcases and painted ceiling bearing the arms of the University create a Gothic atmosphere that feels unchanged since the 17th‑century restoration. With over 80 miles of shelving and chained, leather‑bound books, the library exudes the weight of centuries of scholarship. Today it still serves readers under a sacred Bodleian oath, but non‑readers can visit on guided tours to admire its architecture and cinematic fame. Duke Humfrey’s Library doubled as the Restricted Section of Hogwarts Library. In *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone* Harry sneaks in under his invisibility cloak during the Christmas holidays to research Nicolas Flamel. The camera glides along endless shelves lit by candlelight as Harry opens a shrieking book, echoing the library’s alarmed volumes. The library appears again in *Half‑Blood Prince* during a quiet scene where Harry and Hermione discuss Slughorn’s Christmas party. Guides point out the spots used on screen and explain that books in the Restricted Section are wired with alarms—no screaming tomes, but please don’t touch.
