Hogwarts Castle. The ancient stone seat of learning. Information on the real architecture of where the different parts of the film were taken.

The home of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hogwarts castle has many incarnations. Born in the mind of J.K.
Rowling, it is a place of awe and wonder and has no doubt spawned an imaginary castle in the mind of every Harry Potter
reader. Almost impossible to map, due to the nebulous and nefarious qualities of many of its rooms and corridors, Hogwarts
has nevertheless been given some solid reality in the Harry Potter films and games, the scenery in both exhibits an eerie
consistency.
The real world architecture which has given Hogwarts its most solid form yet was found in a number of locations, from
Alnwick castle, home of the Duke of Northumberland to the
Bodleian Library and
Great Hall at Oxford University, as well as at
Gloucester Cathedral.
