Hospital Wing


The Hospital Wing started its life in Chamber of Secrets as the fountain end of the girls' bathroom.

It was then revamped into the hospital wing and revamped again for Prisoner of Azkaban, which involved lifting the 45-ton set and rotating the set 90 degrees.

The backing seen through the windows is scenically painted with cutouts of other parts of the school.

Looking down to the far end you will see a 2/3rd scale miniature of the Clock tower.

The inspiration for the hospital wing came from the Oxford School of Divinity.

In the actual school layout, the corridor leading up to the clock tower is in fact a bridge to the clocktower.

It took 12 weeks to build.

The bedside cabinets were originally made for a WWII film called In Love & War.
