Quoting the Oxford University Library Staff Newsletter from 31 August,
the IGN FilmForce (http://filmforce.ign.com/news/1572.html) reports:

"Hogwarts comes to Bodley - The Newsletter can reveal that the Bodleian
is one of the sites chosen to provide locations for the new Harry Potter
film. Following an agreement with the film company last week, Duke
Humfrey's Library is to be the library at Hogwarts School, while the
Divinity School will be transformed into the school hospital. Filming is
expected to take place towards the end of October, and will take place
outside Library hours."

Further details of the Bodley shoot in the 12 October edition of the
newsletter:

"Warner Bros. will be racing to finish filming for the first Harry
Potter film in the Bodleian within their allotted time. They will be
working non-stop in Duke Humfrey for forty-three hours from 1 pm on
Saturday 21 October, when the Library closes, to 8 am on the Monday
morning, so as to leave the room free again for readers when the Library
opens one hour later. Filming will continue in the Divinity School for a
further two days after that."

If you want to see some pics of the sets for HP, a bunch of keeners in
the UK put together the Harry Potter Movie Site
(http://uk.geocities.com/pottermovie/) with lots of pics and gossip
about the film. Interesting to see how long it will be before the studio
tries to shut them down.
