Before we begin, here’s some context on what exactly Harry Potter is and who distributes it, as this will be important later on.

You’re all probably familiar with the Harry Potter films by now. The adapt the J.K Rowling books across eight movies that cost a combined $1.2 billion to make but ended up bringing in $7.7 billion at the box office. It features Daniel Radcliffe as the young wizard who heads to Hogwarts to discover he has a large part to play in the coming years.

Harry Potter is distributed solely by Warner Brothers except in the US where it sold off the rights as we’ll get into shortly.

The series has also spawned a spinoff franchise under the Fantastic Beasts name which also has mixed availability across Netflix.

Where is Harry Potter streaming on Netflix?

Here’s a breakdown of every Netflix region currently streaming any and all of the Harry Potter movies. As always, this data comes from Unogs.

Other regions have streamed Harry Potter in the past. As you may know, Netflix will get the Harry Potter movies under a license which means it pays for the movies for a fixed amount of time.

Here are a few significant times Netflix picked up the license in various regions.

In November 2018, Netflix in France and Belgium were recipients of the eight Harry Potter movies.

In January 2019, Netflix in Australia and New Zealand were recipients of all eight movies too. However, they all departed in January 2020.

Where is Harry Potter streaming in the United States?

The US is one of the global regions of Netflix that has never seen Harry Potter in any form stream.

That’s largely because, in the US, Warner Brothers doesn’t currently have direct control over the franchise. Instead, NBCUniversal bought the rights to both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beastsback in 2016.

WB did manage to secure the rights to the movie franchise for the first month or so on its new streaming platform, HBO Max but the rights have since bounced back to Universal who is currently showing the movie franchise on Peacock for Halloween 2020.

When the current deal with Universal concludes, we suspect WB will decide to keep it for HBO Max from then on making it near impossible Netflix picks up the movies.

The Netflix DVD service is still in operation in the US, however, where you’ll find all the movies available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Harry Potter Movies on Netflix in the UK

The United Kingdom has never streamed Harry Potter either but unlike the US, it isn’t likely going to get the Warner Brothers streaming service, at least in the near future.

Instead, Warner Brothers has a close relationship with Sky (recently renewed for another 5 years) who operates its NowTV platform who rotates Harry Potter on and off the service. As of the updated publish date (April 2020), the entire franchise is available on NowTV.

ITV regularly runs re-runs of the movies on terrestrial TV in the UK too.

Why Harry Potter may stop coming to Netflix globally

Although some regions do get Harry Potter, we suspect that will slowly stop being the case over the next decade or so.

That’s because WB is going toe-to-toe with Netflix with its own HBO Max platform. As it expands globally, it’ll begin taking back rights to its licenses and stop licensing them out to the Netflixes and Amazon Primes of the world.

There you have it, the complete 2020 guide to streaming Harry Potter on Netflix.

Four is better than none, that's for sure.

If you somehow missed the big news, the last four Harry Potter films were just uploaded to Netflix Canada.

So you can officially use our terrible and cold weather to your advantage, curl up under the covers with some butterbeer, and binge the end of the saga of our favourite boy wizard.

TL;DR Canadian Netflix just got the last four Harry Potter films and fans in the U.S. are kind of ticked, to put it nicely.

Earlier this month, Netflix Canada dropped the news on Twitter.

Harry Potter Movies On Netflix

I know you're upset we're only getting the last four Harry Potter movies, but this is your reminder that Netflix US isn't getting any of them.

— Netflix Canada (@Netflix_CA) January 24, 2019

They weren't shy about it, either, and kind of rubbed it in the States' face.

I mean, I don't blame them, but as an HP lover... I felt the sting of that burn.

Harry Potter:
Canada = 4
US = 0

— Netflix Canada (@Netflix_CA) January 24, 2019

Everyone in Canada has been totally stoked.

Like I said, the weekend is upon us and the time for binging has never been better.

Best thing @netflix did was add the Harry Potter movies

HARRY POTTER IS FINALLY ON NETFLIX. SEE YALL MONDAY.

— josh (@joshsfr) February 1, 2019

Most of the tweets about it are shouts of joy from Canadians and other countries that have been waiting for this day.

But it didn't go unnoticed by our American neighbours...

@netflix put harry potter on netflix now, canada just dragged us https://t.co/75VlGTQ7RB

— alexas // HAPPY HARRY DAY (@mercysIive) January 25, 2019

There are distribution rights to consider with films as large as the one in the Harry Potter franchise so we won't be getting all eight films in Canada.

But at least we've got some of them. Because down south, they don't have it so lucky.

Netflix Canada has all of the Lord of the Rings movies and is about to have all the Harry Potter ones too. US Netflix is trash

— Carolina Jaguar (@Carolina_Jag) January 23, 2019

I just wanna know why @netflix thinks it’s okay to not have Harry Potter on Netflix in the US but it is in Canada??? I’m highly upset.

— annastasia🍯 (@annaa_bananaa15) January 4, 2019Harry

They obviously aren't just mad cause it's us that got them, though. Because other countries are getting called out, too.

It's the principle of the thing!

And clearly,Harry Potter is something worth denouncing your citizenship over.

Harry Potter movies coming to Netflix Canada so it’s official I’m never going back to the US

— 🤡 (@ANDlE666) January 23, 2019

so why the fuck are all the harry potter’s gonna be on netflix in australia and new zealand but not the fucking US?????

— BROOKE (@brookemoulton29) January 25, 2019

I'm a lover of the Wizarding World, so I get where they're coming from.

The films are pretty much an annual staple for me around Christmastime.

Yo @netflix we need to talk if canada can get the harry potter movies why cant the us? Please consider getting these thanks. https://t.co/YZVGR13AVA

— NinjaGreg 🇺🇸 (@RealNinjaGreg) January 25, 2019

So, I also totally understand why people are a little peeved that we're only getting the first four.

Like this Canon Queen below says, we must teach the youth!

idk why netflix is being stingy with harry potter like put it on already pls https://t.co/dxFpTI6zsY

— 🐉 (@hrgziz) January 30, 2019

How am I supposed to binge Harry Potter when the first 4 aren’t there!!!! #wtf#Netflix this isn’t okay. How are the newbies supposed to understand the wizard ing world without watching all of them!? They need the backstory!!!! #Disappointing

— stephanie stafford (@stephan62323550) February 1, 2019

Now that I know all eight films are available in Australia and Spain...

Maybe I'm going to have to move, too.

Dear Netflix,
How is it that France and other European countries can have all 8 Harry Potter movies; but the US and Canada can’t?
Sincerely,
A witch

— Witches Brew 🕸🕷🔮 (@baby_blu2015) November 5, 2018

Harry Potter:
France = 7
Canada = 4
US = 0
Pour une fois qu'on gagne. 💪🏻 @NetflixFR

— M A D I S O N ✏ (@madisonornotbu) January 25, 2019

Even France needed to chime in once more, to make sure we knew that while we're over here feeling superior to the States, they're over in Europe feeling superior to all of us.

What else is new?

How are you gonna put all Harry Potter movies on Netflix in France, Belgium and Australia but NOT CANADA?! @Netflix_CA

— Akshay (@akshayan96) January 16, 2019

Does Netflix derive some kind of sick pleasure from torturing us all with just enough Harry Potter to entice us, but not enough to give us the whole story?!

I'm sure the distribution snafus will be sorted out quickly enough.

And ifyou can't wait, why not move to a more progressive, HP-appreciating Netflix region?!

Seemsappropriate to me...
