El roure de Draco / Draco's oak
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Dins el New College d'Oxford, un dels més antics constituents de la universitat, tot i el seu nom, hi ha un element clarament medieval. Es tracta d'aquest pati gotic, clarament un claustre, si d'un monestir es tractés. De fet, indica l'origen eminentment eclesiastic de l'educació superior universitaria a l'edat mitjana.
Ah, i aquest claustre també es conegut per ser escenari de les pel·licules de Harry Potter, en especial a El Calze de Foc.
=======================
Within Oxford's New College, one of the oldest constituents of the university, despite its name, there is a distinctly medieval element. It is this Gothic courtyard, clearly a cloister, if it were a monastery. In fact, it indicates the eminently ecclesiastical origin of higher university education in the Middle Ages.
Oh, and this cloister is also known for being the location for the Harry Potter films, especially the Goblet of Fire
