Here's where you can currently satisfy your Potter craving.Įven though the movies are currently streaming on HBO Max, from time to time you can also watch them on NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock. In the age of streaming, you'd probably much rather watch the movies online somewhere when you need a fix. Maybe years ago, you bought coveted DVD collections, but those might be lost somewhere at your parents' house. When Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone got the big-screen treatment in 2001 with director Chris Columbus, writer Steve Kloves, and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, the story of the boy with the lightning-bolt scar got a second, more potent life by making all of the book's fantastical magic, hidden worlds, and incredible creatures "real." Sorcerer's Stone grossed almost $1 billion worldwide and created a hunger for more Potter experiences, justifying successful adaptations (including a two-part finale), spinoff prequels about fantastic beasts, and potentially an original TV series.

Rowling has become an incredibly problematic figure. The ever-expanding wizarding world has inspired web hubs, theme parks, and, probably most importantly, movies, even as author J.K.

Harry Potter is an endlessly fascinating hit franchise.
