Now, you would think Oxford University would be super boring.
Most of it was.
But, I did learn that loads and loads and loads of scenes from the Harry Potter series was filmed there. The great hall, the library, most of the Hogwarts castle and a bunch of other random stuff was filmed there. They also filmed scenes from hundreds of other movies there too:if you have seen X-men days of future past, the scene in the pub was filmed in Oxford.
We also went to Harry Potter Studios. It was really cool seeing all the things they filmed in the movies, and how they created stuff. To make unicorn blood in the philosopher's stone, they used glycerin under a mirror, and hagrid's whole head is just a mask over a robot. Not to mention seeing the Hogwarts castle model that they use for wide shots of just the castle. There was so much stuff in the gift shop. I wanted to buy it all! We did buy some wands though. I don't have any pictures, so I'll just show you when I get back.
