But, of course, there are eight instalments in the film franchise. The filmmakers wisely decidedly to split the final book into two volumes: The Deathly Hallows, Parts 1 and 2. After that came the two Fantastic Beasts prequel films, released in 2016 and 2018. The correct order to watch all ten films is as follows:<\/p>\n Buy the Harry Potter books on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n But you\u2019re a card-carrying Potterhead, right? So you\u2019re keen to watch these films properly, and in their chronological order. So here\u2019s how you can do that, and here\u2019s where to stream each film.<\/p>\n Netflix and Disney Plus subscribers might be disappointed that none of these films is featured on either service, but they can be found elsewhere.<\/p>\n The good news for Potter fans is that there\u2019s no need to spend ages searching for each film on different streaming services. All the Harry Potter films are available on Sky<\/a> as a boxset now. You can be lining up Harry, Hermione and Ron\u2019s best scenes quicker than you can say \u2018accio!\u2019 Well, almost.<\/p>\n Sky Cinema<\/a> currently costs \u00a311 extra a month, but Sky is fond of a TV package, so we would always suggest you check Sky deals<\/a> before signing up for anything. Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 are on Sky Cinema now. If you are not a Sky customer, you can also watch on NOW TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n We kick off the list with a film with no appearance from Harry Potter \u2013 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is set many years before Harry ever sets foot inside Hogwarts. Released in 2016, the first film in the Wizarding World series introduces us to Eddie Redmayne\u2019s absurdly likeable Newt Scamander, who travels to New York in pursuit of an escaped Niffler, but has dark forces to contend with along the way.<\/p>\n This was written by JK Rowling herself, who claims she\u2019s got an idea for a total of five movies.<\/p>\n Where to watch in the UK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on Amazon UK<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on Sky Store<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on Google Play<\/a><\/p>\n Where to watch in the US:<\/strong><\/p>\n Google Play<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n Our second adventure in the Fantastic Beasts world sees Johnny Depp move from a fleeting cameo in the first film to a full-blown appearance as dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Jude Law also stars as Albus Dumbledore. This decidedly gloomy second offering didn\u2019t do quite as well as the first, but it did start to explore the complex relationship between the two wizards. We also know Fantastic Beasts 3 is on its way, albeit with some new casting: it\u2019s now Danish actor Mads Mikkelson who will take on the role of Grindlewald.<\/p>\n Where to watch in the UK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald on Sky Cinema<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald on Sky Store<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on Google Play<\/a><\/p>\n Where to watch in the US:<\/strong><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on Google Pla<\/a>y<\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n Watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Due to be released in cinemas in April 2022, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore<\/a> continues where The Crimes of Grindelwald left off. Mads Mikkelsen takes over the role of the villainous Grindelwald, while Ezra Miller reprises his role as the troubled Credence who is now aware of his true bloodline. Newt Scamander prepares for a new adventure after the tragedies of the previous film, but where is Katherine Waterstone\u2019s Tina Goldstein in the promotional material for the film? And, most importantly, what are the secrets being hidden by the Dumbledore family? We shall have to wait and see when it arrives in cinemas.<\/p>\n Where to watch in the UK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is released in UK cinemas on the 8th April 2022.<\/p>\n Where to watch in the US:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is released in US cinemas on the 15th April 2022.<\/p>\n And here\u2019s where it all began: now two decades old, the first film in the Harry Potter franchise is a bona fide classic. If it\u2019s hard to believe this film is now 20, it\u2019s even hard to see just how little and cute Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint just were. In this first instalment, the 11-year-old Harry discovers he\u2019s the child of wizarding parents and sets off on his first fateful train trip from Platform Nine and Three Quarters to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.<\/p>\n Yes, some of the kids\u2019 acting is a tiny bit wooden, but tell us you don\u2019t get the chills when you hear Hagrid\u2019s iconic line: \u2018You\u2019re a wizard, Harry\u2019.

We also first meet the endearing Dobby, the Malfoy family\u2019s put-upon house-elf, and we follow our favourite trio to uncover a dark force that\u2019s wreaking havoc inside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself.<\/p>\n Buy the book from Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Where to watch in the UK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Watch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Sky Cinema<\/a><\/p>\n Buy or rent Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Google Play<\/a>, Sky Store<\/a> and YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n Where to watch in the US:<\/strong><\/p>\n Google Play<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n In the third film, directed by Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n, who went on to make Gravity and Roma. As Harry moves into Year 3, we find Hogwarts under high security, as the famed criminal Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) escapes from Azkaban prison. This is the film where we start to learn more about Harry\u2019s parents, and of course, here we\u2019re first introduced to the Dementors, Azkaban\u2019s terrifying, ghoulish wardens.<\/p>\n Buy the book from Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n Where to watch in the UK:<\/strong><\/p>\nAre the Harry Potter movies on Netflix or Disney+?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
