The cloisters at Christ Church are spectacular, with Gothic architecture and intricate design. Cloisters were common in monasteries, as they provided a sheltered space for monks to walk undisturbed. The site of Christ Church was originally founded as a monastery in the eighth century.

The staircase is also where a flashback scene shows Tom Riddle chatting with Dumbledore in Chamber of Secrets. In the second film, after Harry and Ron miss the Hogwarts Express train and have to get to Hogwarts with Weasley’s car, the duo ascends these stairs only to find Argus Filch, Hogwarts’ grumpy caretaker. The top of the staircase is where we see Harry, Hermione, Ron, and others walk to meet Professor McGonagall in Sorcerer’s Stone. Transporting us back to the early Harry Potter films, this famous staircase was used in numerous scenes in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
