New College's quadrangle opens onto a grassy courtyard dominated by a 200‑year‑old holm oak tree. The lawn is enclosed by the college's 15th‑century cloister walls and the medieval dining hall, creating a peaceful green space in the heart of Oxford. Students and visitors enter the courtyard through a vaulted passageway and are often struck by the contrast between the tranquillity within and the bustling city outside. The ancient oak and honey‑coloured stone provide an idyllic backdrop for photographs and university life. In *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire*, the courtyard hosts several scenes. Classmates taunt Harry by wearing 'Potter Stinks' badges and cheering for Cedric Diggory during the Triwizard Tournament. Harry warns Cedric about the first task near the cloister arch, and later Draco Malfoy sits under the oak tree mocking Harry before Professor Moody transforms him into a ferret. The lawn and oak tree are clearly visible, making the courtyard instantly recognisable to fans.

Oxford’s Radcliffe Square Vistas (connector) place visitors in the iconic crossroads where the city’s medieval university heritage meets cinematic memory. The square blends the sunlit stone of the Bodleian Library precinct with the clocking silhouette of the Radcliffe Camera, creating a calm but charged atmosphere that filmmakers prize. Historically, the area has long been a hub of scholarly life, and in cinema it serves as a versatile exterior that evokes a magical, Hogwarts-adjacent world. Today, the square feels vibrant yet contemplative, with tourists, students, and lights from nearby colleges weaving into the scene.

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.
