Timeline & locations

What do the location labels mean?
Exact
The pin marks the actual place where it happened or was filmed.
Approximate
The right area — a town, park or district — but not a precise spot.
  1. On the way to the Quidditch World Cup, the Weasleys and Harry travel by Portkey and land on a cliff top. The cliff was in Seven Sisters Country Park near Seaford, East Sussex, and Kirby wires suspended the actors in the air for the landing. The Seven Sisters themselves, a series of chalk sea cliffs on the English Channel coast, are seen in the background of the World Cup scenes.

  2. The Quidditch World Cup campsite was filmed in the countryside near the studio, at Ivinghoe Beacon and Ashridge Wood. In the story, Harry attends the match with the Weasleys and Cedric and his father Amos, and that night Death Eaters attack the campsite and the unknown man from Harry's nightmare casts the Dark Mark. Ivinghoe Beacon is a hill 233 m (757 ft) above sea level in the Chiltern Hills, managed and owned by the National Trust.

    Location precision: The film used both Ivinghoe Beacon and Ashridge Wood for the campsite; the pin marks the Beacon.

    Visitor guidance: National Trust land, open to walkers.

  3. The forest where Hagrid shows Harry the dragons was set in Black Park, next to Pinewood Studios. It is the night Harry learns what the champions must get past in the first task. Black Park is a country park in Wexham, Buckinghamshire, with an area of 250 hectares (618 acres).

  4. Harry's confrontation with Malfoy, who is then turned into a ferret by Moody, was shot in the courtyard quadrangle of the New College Cloister in Oxford. The cloisters, consecrated as a burial site in 1400, sit by the western wall of the chapel, and their large holm oak tree features in the scene in which Malfoy becomes a white ferret.

  5. For the first task the champions must retrieve an egg by getting past a dragon. The sequence was filmed at Steall Falls in Glen Nevis and Black Rock Gorge. Steall is Scotland's second-highest waterfall, with a drop of 120 metres (390 feet), and can be viewed from the path through the Nevis Gorge.

    Location precision: The film combined Steall Falls with Black Rock Gorge; the pin marks the falls.

    Visitor guidance: The falls can be viewed from the path through Nevis Gorge.

  6. The Divinity School served as the room where McGonagall teaches Gryffindor students how to dance for the Yule Ball; it had also been Hogwarts' infirmary in previous films. Built in Oxford between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, and its elaborate lierne vaulting has 455 bosses.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Filming Locations

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was filmed on Lambeth Bridge and Stoney Street in London, the Glenfinnan Viaduct and Glen Coe in Scotland, Virginia Water in Surrey and the Divinity School in Oxford. The third film was the first to use real locations extensively, so this route follows the story in film order, from the Knight Bus in London to the Dementors on the Highland train and the hospital wing in Oxford. Several lakes stood in for the Black Lake, so some pins are approximate.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Filming Locations

Where was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets filmed? Hogwarts is Alnwick Castle, Lacock Abbey, Gloucester and Durham cathedrals and Oxford's Bodleian Library, while King's Cross plays Platform 9¾. The route follows the 2002 film from the blocked barrier to the hunt for the heir of Slytherin, six real places across England. Most scenes were built at Leavesden Studios, so some pins mark where a location was used, not one exact scene.
