If you go to the University of Sydney, you might notice some striking similarities between its Quadrangle and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of Harry Potter fame.
In fact, several Chinese websites have taken that a step forward - claiming the Harry Potter blockbuster films were actually filmed at the university in an effort to attract tourists.This Chinese tourist told SBS News that he wanted to visit Sydney University because his tour guide said this was where the Harry Potter films were set.
While Sydney University bears a resemblance to Durham Cathedral in the United Kingdom - where the Hogwarts scenes were actually shot - no parts of the film were shot in Australia.
