Harry Potter Watch Online Netflix

The Harry Potter movies could pop up on a streaming service any day now, so this is a good time to start looking into the matter. A popular theory circulating online is that HBO Max would have.
Of course, if you’re looking to stream the films online, they’re a bit harder to find. Entering the Potterverse isn’t as easy as loading up Netflix, since the films aren’t available on the world’s most popular streaming service.
The entire Harry Potter series. – from Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone through to Deathly Hallows Part 2 – are no longer on Netflix Australia. To get your Potter fix, you’ll need to.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. There’s even more to watch. Netflix has an extensive library of feature films, documentaries, TV shows, anime, award.

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.

Title	Region Available
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2	Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico

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.

Harry Potter Movies on Netflix in the UK

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.

There you have it, the complete 2020 guide to streaming Harry Potter on Netflix.

Yes, Harry Potter is on Netflix. But it’s not available in every region. At the time of writing, those regions are limited to Canada, Spain or Portugal. The good news is that you can change your region – and watch Harry Potter on Netflix – no matter where you are in the world. All you need is a good VPN – I recommend ExpressVPN ($6.66/month).

Before we go any further, it’s important to note that Netflix changes its library all the time. So, as I’ve said above, while the Harry Potter films are available on Canadian, Spanish and Portuguese Netflix – at the time of writing – they might not be next week. I suggest using the unogs.com (Unofficial Netflix Online Global Search) to check which Netflix regions Harry Potter is currently available in.

How to watch Harry Potter on Netflix: Quick guide

Get ExpressVPN ($6.66/month) or Ivacy ($2.25/month)
Download VPN app on your device
Open the app and connect to Canadian, Spanish or Portuguese server
Open Netflix and search for Harry Potter

That’s it.

Can you change Netflix regions?

The short answer is: use a VPN (see below).

Here’s the longer, and more detailed answer: Netflix is a global service. Those of you who have tried to access your Netflix account while travelling will have noticed you get served different libraries when you access Netflix in different countries.

This is essentially what you need to do to watch the Harry Potter films on Netflix. However, instead of physically travelling to Canada, Spain or Portugal, you can stay at home and virtually spoof your location using a VPN (virtual private networks).

VPN’s combine military-grade encryption and a private network of servers to let users browse the web using an IP address in a location of their choice. This simple technique allows VPNs to unlock Netflix libraries from all around the world.

Example: This means a user in New Zealand (where I am based) can connect to a VPN, select a UK server, and then watch BBC iPlayer all the way from the other side of the world.

Best VPN for Netflix?

Resist the temptation to buy the cheapest VPN you can find (not all of them work with Netflix). I made this mistake when I moved to New Zealand in 2017 and paid for a 5-year subscription to IPVanish. Then, a month into my subscription IPVanish stopped working with Netflix and BBC iPlayer, and there was nothing I could do

Read Netflix detecting VPN? or BBC iPlayer not working with VPN to find out what I did to fix this.

1. ExpressVPN

If you want to unlock multiple Netflix regions then there is one service that’s head and shoulders about the competition. ExpressVPN has the fastest servers, best customer service, and best of all, it works with the most Netflix regions.

Finding a server that is open with the Netflix region want is easy. Most of the time, all you need to do is navigate your way to the Recommended servers list in the ExpressVPN app and you’ll be able to watch Netflix without any issues.

If this doesn’t work, for whatever reason, users are encouraged to speak to a support agent via the ExpressVPN website’s 24/7 Live Chat. Here users can speak to an ExpressVPN representative and literally ask which servers are currently working with Netflix.

ExpressVPN has a dedicated app for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, iPad, Amazon Firestick, Apple TV, PS4 and Xbox. There are also browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

2. Ivacy

If you don’t want to spend $6.66/month on ExpressVPN then the next best service I recommend is Ivacy ($2.25/month).

Ivacy is more of a challenger brand, hence the price gap, but it’s heading in the right direction – recently winning several awards from technology its servers’ speed.

This VPN has all the features you need to unlock Netflix regions, in HD, from any country in the world. I’ve been testing the app recently on Mac, PC, Android, iOS and FireStick and the results have been impressive – unlocking Canadian Netflix with ease.
