You can watch them in release order or in chronological order in which the events in the movies happen. HBO Max subscribers can stream the eight main Harry Potter movies on demand. 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.

If you have the stamina for it, you can tear through all ten films in a little over 24 hours, or 1,447 minutes.
