Harry Potter architecture

[Undclrd_Stdnt]

<p>Please suggest some other colleges in North America (besides Yale and Georgetown) with incredible, amazing buildings/architecture.</p>

<p>Harry Potter was filmed at Christ Church, Oxford. Probably the closest in look is University of the South/Sewanee.</p>

<p>princeton university</p>

<p>Rhodes College. I’ve also heard University of Chicago is similar.</p>

[fireflyscout]

<p>Perhaps we should dig up the classic thread with the trip review of Hogwarts!</p>

<p>Kenyon has a Hogwarts style dining hall.</p>

<p>I have never been there but I understand that Miami of Ohio has a beautiful campus with amazing campus architecture.</p>

<p>

@wikipedia

The campus features modified Georgian revival red brick buildings on an open, tree-shaded campus void of high rise skyscraper dormitories. Miami is also striking in that the entire campus is consistent in design and appearance except for the buildings on the former Western College campus and the Miami University Art Museum. Parts of the campus can be seen in the 1991 film Little Man Tate with Jodie Foster, which was largely filmed on the Oxford campus.

<p>(Oxford here means Oxford, Ohio, of course.)</p>

<p>Bryn Mawr is very gothic.</p>

<p>Harvard has to be an obvious one. The dinning hall, Annenberg Hall, looks exactly like Hogwarts’. Sadly, however, it is not open to the public to view. I had the honor of being able to eat in it when I was at Harvard’s summer school. It was amazing. Especially when the Deathly Hallows came out, they made it look eerily similar.</p>

<p>Harvard summer school students feeling privileged to eat at Annenberg. I felt priviledged too to pay $13 dollars for a plate of spaghetti and a bowl of fake generic fruit loops. The place was nice, but the food was terrible and overpriced. Annenberg does look like Hogwarts…</p>

<p>Princeton
Boston College
UPenn</p>

<p>Duke’s main campus has some amazing buildings.</p>

<p>I attended Chicago, and have a daughter at Princeton. On a Hogwarts scale, they don’t come close to Sewanee:</p>

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the movies, but Harvard’s exterior architecture does not exactly seem to resemble Hogwarts.

<p>Duke comes to mind.

<p>U Richmond also has some semblance of Gothic architecture.

<p>(mini, Sewanee looks gorgeous!)</p>

<p>University of Washington has some Harry Potter-esque aspects, especially the main library.</p>

<p>Harvard’s Annenberg Hall does look somewhat like Hogwarts.</p>

<p>Frary Dining Hall at Pomona, although there’s a bit more of a Mediterranean twist on the architecture. You can see the famous 1930’s fresco “Prometheus” at the North end if you use the zoom function. </p>

<p>There’s a closeup of the fresco here:</p>

<p>Penn’s campus definitely shows some Hogwartian influence (collegiate gothic with a touch of whimsy):</p>
