A helpful guide to stream all the HarryPotter and Fantastic Beasts movies.
The Harry Potter film franchise, based on British author J.K. Rowling’s beloved novels, recently turned 20, and celebrated its legacy with the HBO special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts. However, the series is anything but a relic of the past. New films continue to be made from Rowling’s Harry Potter-adjacent series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, with the newest entry, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, opening this week.
Critics and fans alike found Rowling’s story world fully realized on screen in all its enchanting splendor. The movie also established the series’ hallmark of stuffing the cast with famous British actors, with Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, John Hurt, Julie Walters, and John Cleese in just the first entry alone. The movie was an enormous hit, earning more than a billion dollars globally and setting up Warner Bros. for a long and profitable run.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Where to Stream: HBO Max / Fubo / Peacock / Spectrum / Direct TV Once Rowling found massive success, she achieved the Stephen King-like power to publish books of any length, which she took advantage of by making the later novels in the Harry Potter series into massive tomes. Of course, readers loved having more of a good thing, but this also led to fan, ahem, disenchantment with some of the later movies as less of the literary material made it onto the screen.
British television director David Yates took over directing duties in the series starting with The Order of the Phoenix, and the producers were obviously impressed with his understated craftsmanship because he’s directed every film since, including all the Fantastic Beasts movies.

The epic conclusion and the most financially successful of the Harry Potter movies was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. In Part 2, the evil Voldemort finds corporeal form on Earth and the peoples of the Wizarding World are forced to choose sides in the final battle of good versus evil.
