Hutchinson Hall (also known as Hutchinson Commons) at the University of Chicago is modelled, nearly identically, on the hall of Christ Church, one of Oxford University's constituent colleges. It is located at 5700 S. University Avenue in Chicago, Illinois and is currently used as a dining hall and lounge for students and professors. The Harry Potter film series has used the original hall at Christ Church in each of its films, hence imparting a tourist interest in its American replicate.

Famous quotes containing the word hall:
“For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the groundold toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
