How to Watch Harry Potter Movies in Order

Harry Potter is a phenomenon all over the world, and we are always eager to watch and rewatch the movies, much like we are to give the books another read from time to time. Let's see how we can watch Harry Potter movies online.

Harry Potter is a wonderful series that started back in 1997 when J.K. Rowling released the first book. Over the next decade, seven books were released.

The film series started up in 2001 and wrapped up in 2011 after eight movies, as the last book was split into two movies. The movies were as much of a hit as the books were and brought in $7.7 billion.

What Are the Movies About?

If you haven't yet gotten into the Harry Potter craze, you should know the series is about an orphaned boy whose parents are killed by the most powerful dark wizard ever to live - Voldemort. Throughout the books (and movies), we see Harry grow alongside his two best friends - Ron and Hermione - and his other colleagues at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

He faces various challenges each year as Voldemort starts recovering his powers and seeking to kill Harry. We're not going to share more details than this, so you can discover the world on your own.
