Your Streaming Guide to Watching Harry Potter Movies in Order

Updated on

The Harry Potter films brought one of the most beloved book series ever written to life and sparked the imaginations of an entire generation. In this guide, we'll show you how to watch every Harry Potter film in order, and where you can find them on streaming services in the United Kingdom. Whether they're available on Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer or any other service, you can find out the best way to watch them in the U.K. with this streaming guide.

Author JK Rowling’s massively popular series of seven novels revolves around the life of young wizard Harry Potter, and his best friends Ron and Hermione from the time they get their letters notifying them they have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to their big confrontation with the most evil dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort.

All eight Harry Potter films feature in the top 100 list of highest grossing movies of all time, and their success inspired Warner Bros to further expand the universe with three Fantastic Beasts prequel films and a Harry Potter television series.

In what order should I watch the Harry Potter films?

With so much Harry Potter content to sort through, let this guide help you on your journey through the wizard world of Harry Potter by watching the films in order of release, starting with the Harry Potter films and followed by the prequel Fantastic Beasts films.

The Harry Potter films brought actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint to the fore as we witnessed them grow and mature over the 10 years it took for all eight Harry Potter films to be released. The first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was released in 2001 and introduced new and old fans to the fantastic world of magic mixed with teen drama against the backdrop of prophecy and the reemergence of a dormant evil.

The following saw the release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and in 2004 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban brought the series into a darker era under the direction of Alfonso Cuarón. The following year, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was released, followed by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2007, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in 2009.

Between 2010 and 2011, Warner Bros released Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2, after deciding one film was not sufficient to give a proper sendoff to the beloved series. The final film sits firmly in the top 20 highest grossing films of all time, after bringing in an easy £1 billion.

With the rousing success of the Harry Potter films and the clear thirst from the public for more stories in the wizarding world, Warner Bros went on to produce three prequel films. The films took their main title, Fantastic Beasts, from a textbook mentioned several times in the Harry Potter novels called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which serves as a type of encyclopedia of magical creatures.

The Fantastic Beasts films follows the story of the book’s author, Newt Scamander, and his escapades in 1920s New York City while eventually shifting the focus of the story onto the escalating struggle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. In total, three Fantastic Beasts films were released, including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in 2016, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in 2018, and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in 2022.
