Did you think Harry Potter's Hogwarts was made-up? It's in Northumbria, England! Alnwick Castle(pronounced Annick), ancestral home of the Duke of Northumberland, was used for many of the outdoor scenes in the film of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Remember the scene with the Quidditch lessons? That's on the castle’s green! The Castle is no stranger to the silver screen - it starred alongside Kevin Costner in Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves.
Many of the Hogwart's school scenes were filmed at Oxford University, namely in Christ Church including the staircase where Mrs McGonagall greets the schoolchildren, the Great Hall on which Hogwart's dining room was modeled, the library where Harry creeps at night under his invisible cloak, and Hogwart's hospital.
Further scenes of the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends were shot at the Norman Cathedral of Gloucester a place of worship for more than 1300 years -including the Ghost scenes and talking pictures. It was here where the scenes with the ghost Moaning Myrtle, and the mysterious red writing on the wall were shot. There are tours of the grounds, towers and crypts, and when the guides aren't telling you about the Victorian refit, they'll show you where the Potter scenes were filmed.
In an extra hour also include Lacock Abbey, where some of the classroom scenes were shot.

Look alla round engl;and and scotland,
there are many MANY castles.
I don't know abut hogwarts,
I know in llord of the rings they just built a pretty elaborate castle replica, so they could've done the same for harry potter.
But there are TONS of casles all throughout great Britian.
Try posting a question in the U.K. section and and ask the brits about some history.

Yes, the set they are using is Oxford college in England.
At least, that's what I heard.

no - watch the "behind the scenes" - it shows it's all CGI
