4. Christchurch College Oxford
The dining hall where the Potter films are shot is in this college. This is the largest of the Oxford colleges, and it also doubles as the city’s cathedral. This is really a wonderful place to visit.
3. Leadenhall Market
This market has some history behind it, it’s been in the same location since the 1300s! In the Potter movies, this market is used for the area of Diagon Alley and The Leaky Cauldron. It’s a pretty cool place.
However, if you want to go through the door of The Leaky Cauldron, you will have to book an appointment for an eye test because an optician works there now.
2. Gloucester Cathedral
This is a very historical castle, its first stones were laid between 1070 and 1100, which makes it very old. Now, this castle has seen its claim to fame, many of the inside shots of Hogwarts were filmed here.
Many of the bathrooms, like the one in The Chamber of Secrets, were filmed at this castle.
1. Alnwick Castle

All of the quidditch matches? All were filmed here. You can even visit this castle in the summer months to get a glimpse of Hogwarts.
