Bodleian Library

Oxford University Libraries Service (OULS) comprises over 30 of the University of Oxford's central and faculty libraries: from the world-famous Bodleian Library, established 400 years ago, to the modern digital library ventures.

The Bodleian Library in fiction

The Library's fine architecture has made it a favourite location for filmmakers. It can be seen in Another Country (1984), The Madness of King George III (1994) and the first two Harry Potter films, in which the Divinity School doubles as the Hogwarts hospital wing and Duke Humphrey's Library as the Hogwarts library. The Radcliffe Camera makes an appearance in The Saint (1997).

Also, the first few words of the Latin version of the reader's promise seen above (Do fidem me nullum librum vel) can be found on the linguist's hat in the 1996 mini-series Gulliver's Travels.
