How to Watch the Harry Potter Movies in Order

There are two ways to watch the Harry Potter movies. You can watch them in release order or in chronological order in which the events in the movies happen.

Peacock Premium subscribers can stream the eight main Harry Potter movies on demand. HBO Max also has the eight main films to stream for the month of June. You can also catch them on the Syfy channel if you have a cable subscription or a streaming plan that includes live TV.

The two prequel films are not currently available on any subscription streaming service, but all of the movies are available to rent or purchase on Amazon, iTunes, YouTube, and other online movie rental services.
