The University of Sydney has an open campus layout, with its faculties spread across different blocks. Our main destination was The Quadrangle, affectionately nicknamed the "Harry Potter Building" by visitors due to its medieval architectural style that strongly resembles Hogwarts from the Harry Potter films. It's become one of Sydney's most Instagram-worthy locations.

The campus has all the typical university features - notice boards covered with club announcements, event posters, and various bulletins. The Law School building is particularly impressive, with its corridor featuring floor-to-ceiling windows - must be quite inspiring for students studying there!

Finally reaching our main target - the Harry Potter Building - was exciting. After two days of rain, Sydney blessed us with perfect weather. The blue sky and white clouds created a stunning backdrop for the brown historic building, really bringing out its medieval charm. When we arrived, many people were already taking photos. There's a large lawn in front of the main entrance that's perfect for photography - we even spotted a couple taking wedding photos!

Thanks to the beautiful weather, we spent over an hour exploring and photographing the building inside and out, trying various poses and enjoying every moment. It was definitely worth the visit!
