The third Fantastic Beats film, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, is due to be released on HBO Max on April 15, 2022. While you can sometimes get lucky and catch an all-day marathon on TV, we prefer to watch these beloved movies via commercial-free streaming services.

How To Stream the Harry Potter Franchise Online

Right now, the entirety of the Harry Potter franchise is streaming on NBC’s streaming service, Peacock. However, you will need a Peacock Premium or Peacock Plus subscription to watch. Sign up for either one of these subscriptions and you can start streaming these movies right away. However, HBO Max also offers access to all eight films and additionally offers exclusive access to the reunion special as well. Finally, all of the films within the franchise can be rented or purchased on video-on-demand platforms such as Prime Video.

Unfortunately, the two Harry Potter spin-offs: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald are not on any streaming service at the moment. However, you can rent or purchase them on various platforms (more info below).

If you want to stream the Harry Potter movies online, which option should you choose?
