How Do I Watch the Harry Potter Movies?
Fans could previously only watch the films when they were broadcast on TV or by purchasing or renting them. American lovers of Hogwarts can see the movie on the Max streaming service from HBO.
While the movies have been available on Prime Video for some time now, but they are being taken down from the platform in the next few days. But worry not, as there are other online movie platforms that have the Harry Potter series available.
Harry Potter is also available on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, in addition to Netflix. But since the free option excludes the Harry Potter films, you’ll need to pay up for either a Peacock Plus or Peacock Premium membership.
The Harry Potter television series will stream on the OTT platform Max (formerly known as HBO Max). It had been widely assumed over the previous few days that HBO would approve the idea, but it has now been made official that the network will finance a “decade-long series” based on J.K. Rowling’s seven books. Based on the books, an eight-part film franchise has already been created. A new cast will be in the web series. The makers promised a “faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter book series.”
HBO Max and Discovery+ will officially be united into a new service called simply Max, it was announced during Warner Bros. Discovery’s presentation to the media and investors on April 12. According to Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO Max, the team is thrilled to provide viewers the chance to learn about Hogwarts in a brand-new way.
“Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and JK Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years, “said Bloys.
