Here Is Where You Can Watch Every Harry Potter Movie

The eight Harry Potter movies are in high demand, and it’s typically a heated battle to see which streaming service will own the rights to stream these films. Currently (as of October 14th, 2022), All 8 films are on Peacock Premium. (sign up for an account)

When the movies aren’t on HBO, NBC will usually have them on the Peacock streaming service and occasionally move the films to the NBC-owned TV Networks Syfy and USA Network. In this case, there will typically be a “Harry Potter Promotion” available through the NBC streaming app if you have a streaming service that carries the SyFy channel. During that time, the films may drop from Peacock. Since these movies hop from service to service more often than most, this article explains where to look when you want to stream any of the Harry Potter movies.

• They are available to stream on HBO Max (Sign up Now)
• When not on HBO, NBC typically has them available on Peacock Premium. (sign up for an account)
• As a last resort, you can purchase the films from Amazon Prime Video and stream them whenever you want.

Harry Potter on HBO Max

Currently, HBO Max also has every Harry Potter movie available for streaming. HBO Max doesn’t only have HBO, but content from WarnerMedia and other sources. Content on HBO Max includes:

• A selection of acquired series and movies (Harry Potter, Rick and Morty, and South Park are notable examples)
• All of HBO
• An exclusive collection of new HBO Max Originals
• Select favorites from the WarnerMedia brands Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, DC, CNN, the Turner library, Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth, Looney Tunes, and more
• A selection of acquired series and movies (South Park being a notable example)

HBO-Max offers two subscription tiers, an ad-supported plan for $9.99 per month and an ad-free plan for $15.99 per month. You can sign up here. HBO Max is supported on Android, iOS, Apple TV, Chromecast, Playstation, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and more. See our review of HBO Max for more information on this streaming service.

Harry Potter on Peacock

NBC has a long-term contract with all eight Harry Potter films. Unless they’ve leased them out to a service like HBO Max or there is a Harry Potter marathon on USA or Syfy, all 8 Hary Potter films should be available to stream on the service. The service has a free plan and a premium plan for $4.99 per month. Both show ads, but the premium plan has more content. Occasionally the first movie will be available on the free tier. However, you will need to be a Peacock Premium subscriber to watch all 8 films.

Both the free and $4.99 premium plans are ad-supported, meaning you will have to watch commercials. If you want to watch ad-free, you need to subscribe to the “Premium Plus” plan, eliminating the ads for a cost of $9.99 per month. You can sign up for any of these plans here.

Peacock is supported on Roku, Apple TV, Android, iOS, and more. See our review of Peacock for more details.

Watch Harry Potter Films through the SyFy App

If you don’t see the films on Peacock or HBO Max, they are more than likely available to stream on SyFy. If the movies are there, they will be available to stream through any of the following streaming services using a free trial:

• FuboTV – offers a 1-week free trial.
• YouTube TV –  offers a free trial

Once you sign up for a streaming service with SyFy, you can either download the streaming service app to your device and search for the Harry Potter movie you want to watch, or you can use your streaming service username and password in the SyFy app. Below are the instructions for watching Harry Potter on the SyFy App:

1. Sign up for a Streaming Service using a free trial (Free Trial to Hulu)
2. Go to the channel store or app store on your device. For example, on Roku, it’s called the “Channel Store.”
3. Search for Syfy
4. Add the Syfy app to your device and then open it. 
5. Your Roku device will then show you an activation code and a URL.
6. Using a computer or mobile web browser, you go to the URL.
7. You will then be asked for a TV provider and a username/password. I’m entering the username and password I use for Hulu.
8. Once you sign in to Syfy’s website, your TV screen will refresh. You should now have access to all the video content the app provides, including every Harry Potter film.
