Harry Potter Movies Online Hulu

As hard as it is to accept, the Harry Potter weekends Potterheads knew and loved are about to change. The ownership rights to the series are switching companies, which means Freeform won't be able to air giant blocks of Harry Potter programming whenever they feel like it. For fans who are already wondering where to stream all the Harry Potter movies once they leave Freeform, there's actually some good news: a lot of places. And soon. According to The Verge, the complete Harry Potter series is making its debut on HBO in January 2018, where the cable channel will ring in New Year's Day with a marathon of all eight films, plus Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, which has been available on HBO for some time now.

As shown by the increasingly tarnished logos at the beginning of each film, Harry Potter is owned by Warner Bros. Warner Bros. and HBO are both owned by Time Warner Cable, so it's honestly surprising that all eight hadn't been migrated to the premium network before now. Also, Harry Potter moving to HBO is actually a development worth celebrating. It's admittedly difficult to detach from the idea of spontaneous Freeform Harry Potter weekend marathons, not to mention the ones fans expect ever Halloween and holiday season. Here's the thing, though: Once all eight Harry Potter films have migrated to HBO, that will be the first time the complete series has been available to watch or stream anywhere. With the exception of a personal DVD collection, of course.

Stunts Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Jade Gordon was born on April 24, 1987 in England as Jade Olivia Gordon. She is known for her work on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011), Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). She has been married to Rodgers, Patrick since May 26, 2019. Watch all the Harry Potter movies on Hulu with the HBO Add-On for free. Great news, Harry Potter fans! As of the beginning of the year, you can watch all eight Harry Potter movies and Fantastic. While the Harry Potter films never made their way onto Netflix or Hulu, The Boy Who Lived has found his way onto other platforms, including Amazon Prime, iTunes, and YouTube. Harry Potter and the.

Really, though, never in the franchise's 16-year film history has every existing Harry Potter been available to stream in the same place. Previously, some would be on Netflix, some would be available through HBO, and maybe one edited for television could be available through your cable provider on demand. But now, at long last, even though it's kind of a bummer to lose out on Freeform's Harry Potter weekend bonanzas, fans will be able to construct their own. Fast forward through the sad parts! Skip to the good ones! Pause to get another pumpkin juice from the fridge! See? You're probably feeling better already. Is there a spell for that? Hermione would know.

In addition to HBO, the rights of the Harry Potter series will switch from Disney/ABC to NBCUniversal in 2018, according to the New York Times. So, if you had Freeform, but you don't have HBO, you don't have to panic. 'Harry Potter Weekends' could very well arrive on USA or SyFy, both of which are operated by NBCUniversal by Spring 2018. Again: The Harry Potter series will still have a home on basic cable. It'll just be on different networks than you're used to. But hey, better USA and SyFy than nothing at all, right? Even if SyFy abbreviates 'Science Fiction' that way.

So, though it doesn't seem as if Harry Potter will move onto Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon, it at least won't be confined to HBO. Once the rights switch over to NBCUniversal, it means that all eight movies will potentially air on NBC, USA, Bravo, SyFy, and any other station owned and operated by them. Remember when the Olympics were on, and how it seemed as if every channel's regular programming had been replaced with sports? It could be like that, but with Hogwarts.

Of course, that's unlikely; even Harry Potter probably won't take the place of NBCUniversal's news channels, financial news channels, shopping channels, and smaller properties like 'Chiller.' But, it's just one positive example of what could happen once Harry Potter leaves Disney-ABC. To really get on fans' good side, at least one NBCUniversal channel should probably think about airing a Harry Potter weekend-style marathon once they're able to. It would be a real Neville Longbottom move.

The Harry Potter movies’ presence on Netflix comes and goes but ultimately depends largely on where you live in the world. Here’s the currently streaming status of Harry Potter on Netflix and where you can find it if it’s not available.

Before we begin, here’s some context on what exactly Harry Potter is and who distributes it, as this will be important later on.

You’re all probably familiar with the Harry Potter films by now. The adapt the J.K Rowling books across eight movies that cost a combined $1.2 billion to make but ended up bringing in $7.7 billion at the box office. It features Daniel Radcliffe as the young wizard who heads to Hogwarts to discover he has a large part to play in the coming years.

Harry Potter is distributed solely by Warner Brothers except in the US where it sold off the rights as we’ll get into shortly.

The series has also spawned a spinoff franchise under the Fantastic Beasts name which also has mixed availability across Netflix.

Where is Harry Potter streaming on Netflix?

Here’s a breakdown of every Netflix region currently streaming any and all of the Harry Potter movies. As always, this data comes from Unogs.

Other regions have streamed Harry Potter in the past. As you may know, Netflix will get the Harry Potter movies under a license which means it pays for the movies for a fixed amount of time.

Here are a few significant times Netflix picked up the license in various regions.

In November 2018, Netflix in France and Belgium were recipients of the eight Harry Potter movies.

In January 2019, Netflix in Australia and New Zealand were recipients of all eight movies too. However, they all departed in January 2020.

Where is Harry Potter streaming in the United States?

The US is one of the global regions of Netflix that has never seen Harry Potter in any form stream.

That’s largely because, in the US, Warner Brothers doesn’t currently have direct control over the franchise. Instead, NBCUniversal bought the rights to both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beastsback in 2016.

WB did manage to secure the rights to the movie franchise for the first month or so on its new streaming platform, HBO Max but the rights have since bounced back to Universal who is currently showing the movie franchise on Peacock for Halloween 2020.

When the current deal with Universal concludes, we suspect WB will decide to keep it for HBO Max from then on making it near impossible Netflix picks up the movies.

The Netflix DVD service is still in operation in the US, however, where you’ll find all the movies available on DVD and Blu-ray.

The United Kingdom has never streamed Harry Potter either but unlike the US, it isn’t likely going to get the Warner Brothers streaming service, at least in the near future.

Instead, Warner Brothers has a close relationship with Sky (recently renewed for another 5 years) who operates its NowTV platform who rotates Harry Potter on and off the service. As of the updated publish date (April 2020), the entire franchise is available on NowTV.

ITV regularly runs re-runs of the movies on terrestrial TV in the UK too.

Why Harry Potter may stop coming to Netflix globally

Although some regions do get Harry Potter, we suspect that will slowly stop being the case over the next decade or so.

That’s because WB is going toe-to-toe with Netflix with its own HBO Max platform. As it expands globally, it’ll begin taking back rights to its licenses and stop licensing them out to the Netflixes and Amazon Primes of the world.
