LOCATION DETAILS
Christ Church is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England. Christ Church is a joint foundation of the college and the Cathedral of the Oxford diocese (Christ Church Cathedral and its Cathedral School), which serves as the college chapel and whose dean is ex officio the college head. (source Wikipedia) The staircase in Bodley Tower leads up to the Ante-Hall. The Hall shows the Renaissance magnificence of Cardinal College. Until the 1870s this was the largest Hall in Oxford, but then the newly-founded Keble College ensured that their hall was slightly larger (legend has it by only a single metre). It was this Renaissance splendour that attracted the makers of the Harry Potter films to build a replica of the Hall in their London studios. (source chch.ox.ac.uk)
