Here's where to watch every Harry Potter movie online, including the Fantastic Beasts films and the 20th anniversary special, Return To Hogwarts. Since the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 2001, Harry Potter has become one of the biggest franchises in cinema history, both in terms of box office (with over $8 billion in worldwide gross across the eight movies and two spinoffs) and cultural weight and legacy.
The Harry Potter movies remain incredibly popular with old fans while also being discovered by new generations, and part of the reason is how re-watchable they are. The Wizarding World was a mainstay in movie theaters for a decade, and has never really gone away thanks to spinoffs, movie marathons, theme parks, merchandise, and the sheer amount of fans it has across the globe. It's always been there for re-viewing, but what about on streaming?
Despite containing 10 movie installments split across two timelines to date, the Harry Potter films have historically been notoriously absent from the most popular streaming platforms. While the original Harry Potter films have since found a home on HBO Max and Peacock, the two Fantastic Beasts movies are still only available via rental or purchase options. Here's how to watch every Harry Potter movie online, including the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts special.
Those looking to reacquaint themselves with the tale of the boy who lived have several viable online options. The first eight Harry Potter movies are available to stream on HBO Max right now, with the films added in June 2021 as a precursor to the HBO exclusive Return To Hogwarts release. Peacock Premium subscribers also have immediate access to the original Harry Potter film series, with NBC's streaming service hosting all eight titles as of January 2021. Amazon Prime Video also offers the option to purchase or rent these Harry Potter movie installments for those not signed up to HBO Max or Peacock Premium, while viewers in the UK can access all eight titles via Sky Movies' service-exclusive Wizarding World channel.
The Harry Potter prequel films are a much harder proposition to track down, with no streaming service currently offering either Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them or Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as part of a subscription model to date. This being said, there are still options available here, with Sling TV periodically making Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them available via its live programming roster. The two Fantastic Beasts films are also available to rent via a number of platforms, including YouTube, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, or Vudu.
The Harry Potter reunion special is a HBO Max exclusive in the United States, with Return To Hogwarts releasing on January 1st, 2022. Those looking to watch the Harry Potter reunion via other means will be forced to wait, with WarnerMedia confirming Return to Hogwarts will also air on TBS and Cartoon Network sometime in the spring of 2022.
