If you are looking to stream the Harry Potter movies on Netflix, the answer depends on where you live. While Netflix does not offer the series in the US, lucky fans in UK, Japan, and Australia can find all eight films on Netflix ready to stream. It all comes down to licensing rights, which can be both a blessing and a curse allowing the movies to hop between different platforms based on regions.
If you are outside of these areas, do not lose hope just yet. There is a good chance a reliable VPN will help you unlock the Harry Potter series. It is quite a simple trick- with a VPN, you can connect to a server in a country where the films are available, like Australia or France, and access the content as if you were there. All you have to do is select a high-quality VPN, login, and select the region you need. Once connected, open Netflix, search for Harry Potter, and enjoy your comfort series from anywhere in the world.
Max is the go-to platform to stream all the movies
If you are in the US, you can stream Harry Potter easily as it finds a new home on Max (formerly HBO Max). You can catch all eight films here without any glitches. Just sign up and log in, and you can begin binging in no time. In fact, Max has held a consistent deal with Warner Bros., that keeps those movies readily available for Americans.
And with Max's curation, you can now find special bundles for even better viewing. And if you do not have Max, know that they have free trials and a monthly subscription for $9.99.
Your backup option in the US would be Peacock
Peacock sometimes holds streaming rights for the Harry Potter series. The movies do not seem to stick around on Peacock for very long, as they tend to rotate in and out of the service. When they are available, a basic Peacock subscription will get you what you want. But, here the free tier will not do this time around - you will need Peacock Premium, which starts at $5.99 a month.
Rent or purchase worldwide with Amazon Prime
Still, Harry Potter is out of your reach on other platforms and services? Amazon Prime Video has you covered. This service allows you to stream all the movies by renting or purchasing them individually. This can be great if you want to simply pick out your favorite movie from the series for a quick binge and you could keep going back to it in the future.
The platform offers different price options, rentals average about $3.99, but movie purchases are going to start at about $9.99 per movie. To do this, you simply type in the movie, purchase it, and have an immediate viewing experience on Prime Video without adding any subscription.
Sky Go and Now TV for the UK viewers
In the UK Sky Go and Now TV both host Harry Potter movies. The best part, as long as you have Sky Cinema you can watch every one of the series from any place you want on Sky Go. Now, if you do not have Sky, no problem as there is TV's Cinema Pass which starts from $12.73 a month that will give you access. All of these services of this platform offer a smooth stream and download experience to watch later it will not matter if you are on your way to work or under a blanket at home it is just a click away!
