Oxford/Hogwarts

My parents always had this crazy dream that I would get an undergrad Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford. Needless to say that didn't happen. I have my doubts that History and History in Art majors are   the top priorities of the major universities these days. Hah, too bad we're not in the 19th century, those majors were much more in demand than they are today. 

The Great Hall at Christ Church College, Oxford.
This dining hall was the real inspiration for the Great Hall in the Harry Potter movies. 

Alice in Wonderland characters on a stained glass window in the Great Hall.

 Stunning courtyard at Christ Church College. Clearly more than the Great Hall inspired the Harry Potter set.
