During these difficult lockdown times, it’s understandable why every Potterhead and even muggles would need an extra bit of magic in their lives. If you are looking for ways to live your Harry Potter fantasy whilst at home, we’ve put together some Harry Potter-related activities that you can experience from the comfort of your home.
Virtual Tours
You can go on a virtual tour of many Harry Potter scenes which were filmed in Oxford by using the University of Oxford’s virtual tour. Explore the Great Hall, Hogwarts Infirmary and other locations in 360°. Some other filming locations across the United Kingdom can be visited via Google Street View, from the house where Harry Potter grew up in and the Forbidden Forest to Diagon Alley and many more locations. Discover them on the Harry Potter Sightseeing Map.
