This year marks 20 years since the very first Harry Potter movie made its way onto our screens, bringing JK Rowling’s magical vision to life.
Comforting and familiar, re-watching our much loved trio, Harry, Ron and Hermione fight against darker powers still goes down well, and with Fantastic Beasts 3 delayed to 2022 there’s plenty of time to recap the adventures of the Boy Who Lived.
While it seems as if there’s a Harry Potter movie marathon on TV every month or so they can’t always be on. So if you’re hoping to escape into the magic of the wizarding world and find the Harry Potter movies online, read on to find out where you can watch all of the Harry Potter movies in order.
What’s the correct order to watch the Harry Potter films?
In case you needed a reminder, there are seven books in the Harry Potter series, but the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was split into two parts for the film adaptations. Therefore, the correct order to watch the Harry Potter films is:
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001)
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011)

Are the Harry Potter movies on Netflix or Disney+?
Sadly, no. Despite owning the rights to nearly every family franchise, the Harry Potter series are not in fact Disney movies so are not available on Disney Plus. The magical movies are not on Netflix either – but they are available to stream elsewhere.
How to watch every Harry Potter movie in order
The good news for Potter fans is that there’s no need to spend ages searching for each film on different streaming services. All the Harry Potter films are available on Sky right now. You can be lining up Harry, Hermione and Ron’s best scenes quicker than you can say ‘accio!’ Well, almost.
Sky Cinema currently costs £11 extra a month, but Sky is fond of a TV package so we would always suggest you check Sky deals before signing up to anything.
If you are not a Sky customer, you can also watch on NOW TV. The Harry Potter series is streaming on NOW TV with Sky Cinema until 27 February 2021.
