Check out Annenberg Hall, the freshman dining hall at Harvard. It's Hogwarts all the way

</p>

<p>annenberg huh... seems penn has a building with the same name...</p>

42

<p>The Great Hall at ChristChurch, Oxford, and the quad outside, is the place of much of the filming. (We were there during the making of the second movie.)</p>

43

<p>I totally forgot, at the U of Chicago, there are underground tunnels under the Midway Plaisance, which apparently used to be explored in scret by students but which have since been sealed off for asbestos.</p>

<br>

<p>Yup, and so does USC. Walter Annenberg,the founder of TV Guide, definitely spread his wealth around. He was also a big donor to Public Television.</p>

45

<p>Over the summer, I had the opportunity to visit UC Berkeley. Next to the football stadium, there's a dorm with striking similiarities to Hogwarts. However, I can't say the same about any other buildings I saw at UC Berkeley during my time there.</p>

46

<p>USMA at West Point, NY. Known to the inmates as: </p>

<p>"Castle Gray Skull". (if you saw it, you'd understand)</p>

<p>Boooooo!!!</p>

<p>jaimie17 - Have you seen Vassar's library? Go to</p>

<p><a href="http://library.vassar.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://library.vassar.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>and take the virtual tour. Although it looks good in these photos, I don't think they do it justice.</p>

48

<p>Every college with business/engineering/arts and sciences</p>

<p>business - like slytherin
engineering - like ravenclaw
arts and sciences - hufflepuff</p>

<p>gryfndor is like the honors college that overlaps the other three</p>

<p>I really should be doing something more constructive with my skipping-school time</p>

49

<p>what is your reasoning behind arts and sciences- hufflepuff? I would say arts and sciences- ravenclaw...</p>

50

<p>Hufflepuffers in the books seem goofy, and I think you find most of the quirkly philosophy kids in A and S colleges</p>

51

<p>Why hasn't anyone mentioned Caltech? They have hovses (houses) that are similar to, and even better than, the houses of Hogwarts.</p>

52

<p>Here are some pics from Cambridge (I love Cambridge!) that are really similar to Hogwarts.</p>

<p>... are possibly some of the coolest images I've seen in like years.</p>

<p>I love it. Thanks just for posting them.</p>

<p>I also really like this thread. :)</p>

54

<p>If you're looking for an amazing library check out UCSD's Geisel. </p>

55

<p>I believe the UCSD library in the picture posted by the above poster was featured in a movie, was it not?</p>

56

<p>RE: Riggs Library-</p>

<p>You're welcome! :p I like it a lot, too.</p>

57

<p>The UCSD library is neat but it's the least Harry Potter-ish thing I've ever seen.</p>

58

<p>I think when I went to visit Harvard they said that they used some of their buildings to film Harry Potter in, but don't quote me on that.</p>

59

<p>Look at Reed College's mascot!</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_College%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_College&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Fits the bill, I think...</p>

<p>mathisfun: I was also reminded of Harry Potter, when I saw Reed's mascot in one of their mailings last week!</p>
