Harry Potter's Oxford: Bodleian Library

We visited the Bodleian Library at Oxford today. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that most of my knowledge of some of the buildings around Oxford/London revolve around my fandom of various YA Fantasy books versus anything academically based.

I know of the Bodleian Library because of the "All Souls Trilogy".

I learned today that part of it was also used for some of the filming of the Harry Potter films.

This portion, The Divinity School, was used as the infirmary of Hogwarts as well as where the students practiced ballroom dancing in "The Goblet of Fire".
