Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is divided into four houses, each bearing the last name of its founder: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. The Sorting Hat places students into Houses based on their personal traits.
Hogwarts, Harry's prestigious wizarding prep school, is a composite of several locations, many of them real places in Oxford. Christ Church College inspired two film sets familiar to Potter fans. In The Sorcerer's Stone, the kids are ferried to Hogwarts and then ascend a stone staircase â the same one that, in real life, leads into the Christ Church College's Great Hall. Christ Church's high-ceilinged dining hall was a model for the one seen throughout the films (with the weightless candles and flaming braziers)...but the actual filming happened on a set at the Leavesden studios.
