Looking to stream the Harry Potter movies? Unfortunately, you won’t find them on HBO Max, as the film series was removed from the platform in August 2022.
At the time, it was reported that the Fantastic Beasts series would continue to live on the streaming giant – but turns out, those films also left the platform on Jan. 31. So, where can you go to keep up with our favorite wizards? Luckily, Peacock has just what you’re looking for.
Peacock and HBO Max have been going back and forth, sharing the rights of the fantasy film series since 2020, when the Warner Bros. streamer launched with all eight Harry Potter movies. Now, the streamer has lost the movie twice to Peacock and hasn’t announced plans to get them back. They have also bid farewell to the two spin-off movies, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
But, if you’re wondering whether HBO Max lost the movies again, the answer is no. The streamer hasn’t hosted the movies since August 2022. However, they recently lost the Fantastic Beasts movies, which may have sparked new confusion amongst fans.
Desperate to binge-watch the beloved fantasy series — especially in anticipation of the release of the new video game Hogwarts Legacy? Here’s what you need to know about Harry Potter and HBO Max, including where you can find all of the Harry Potter films right now.
