You'll never believe the reason Chinese tourists are flocking to Sydney University

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.

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. https://www.fittravel.com.au/product/syd86681/

Dr Jamie Fraser is the senior curator of the Nicholson Museum, which sits inside the Quadrangle building, and said he had noticed a significant rise in tourists from predominately Chinese groups visiting the University.
