How (and Where) to Watch Harry Potter Movies In Order – A Streaming Guide

Updated on

The Harry Potter franchise, also known as 'The Wizarding World', is one of the highest-grossing film franchises of all time. It includes eleven movies and additional adaptations such as the stage play, The Cursed Child, and an upcoming TV show adaptation. Based on JK Rowling’s bestselling novel series of the same name, the Harry Potter franchise makes for a perfect binge for fans of young adult adventures and fantasy stories. In this guide we'll show you how to watch all of the Harry Potter movies in order (chronological and release order), and where you can stream them online in India.

Set throughout the 1990s, the Harry Potter movies revolve around the coming-of-age of a young wizard, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), as he learns magic at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and tries to stop his arch-nemesis, the evil wizard Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). One of the best things about the Wizarding World is the many amazing characters. This includes Harry’s best friends, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), and Hogwarts teachers like Headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) and Professor Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith).

Christopher Columbus directed the first two Harry Potter movies (The Philosopher's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets), while Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuarón directed the third movie (Prisoner of Azkaban). Mike Newell directed the fourth installment (The Goblet of Fire) before David Yates helmed the final four movies (Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Deathly Hallows Part 2). Yates also went on to direct all three films of the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

Set in the 1930s and 1940s, these movies detailed the early years of future Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore and the adventures of magical animals expert/wizard Newt Scamander. Both Dumbledore and Scamander join forces in the war against Dark Wizard Grindelwald. The first movie (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Me) was notably written by author JK Rowling while the cast was led by acclaimed actors like Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander), Jude Law (Albus Dumbledore), and Mads Mikkelsen (Grindelwald).
