At 4 PM and 7.55 PM on Saturday 9 December, Clifton College Chapel will host screenings of Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone. This first instalment of the celebrated series introduces us to the wizarding tale and ‘The Boy Who Lived’ as well as a whole host of great British actors, all debuting their iconic roles.

With screenings at 4 PM and 7.50 PM on Sunday 10 December, it’s time for a screening of Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets. This second edition of the series sees Harry investigating a series of mysterious “petrifications” with decidedly dark consequences.

Taking over the Chapel at 4 PM and 8 PM on Monday 11 December is Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban. Alfonso Cuarón’s Oscar-nominated adaptation introduces us to Sirius Black and is seen by many as a highlight of the series, featuring appearances from British acting royalty in the shape of Gary Oldman, David Thewliss and Timothy Spall.

So, gather your fellow Potterheads for this wonderful Christmas celebration, taking place in the magical surroundings of Clifton College Chapel. A grade II, Gothic Revival style listed building that dates back to 1867, this is about the closest you’ll get to Hogwarts in the whole of Bristol!
