Harry Potter isn’t on Netflix US and fans aren’t happy. With the magical movies now finding their way to Netflix in other regions, US subscribers aren’t impressed at the lack of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movies in their country. Here’s the need-to-know info on why Harry Potter is missing from Netflix US.
Why aren’t the Harry Potter movies on Netflix US?
The Harry Potter movies aren’t on Netflix US due to them not currently being licensed for US-based audiences.
While Netflix UK and Ireland subscribers now have access to the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movies, presumably due to a deal between Netflix and Warner Bros., Netflix US does not.
When will Harry Potter come to Netflix US?
Harry Potter may never come to Netflix US. However, it has been featured on Peacock and HBO Max.
Following a short exclusive stay on Peacock, the Harry Potter movies made their way to HBO Max for a 12-month stint. Sadly, that has now come to an end, making it difficult for US audiences to stream the Wizarding World movies.
Where to stream Harry Potter movies in the US
The Harry Potter movies can be streamed in the US using Peacock Premium.
While Peacock Premium is currently the only way to stream the movies in the US, they can also be purchased from Amazon and other retailers.
With so many streaming services to keep on top of, and subscriptions to try and optimize, it can be tough track down exactly what you want to watch. In the case of Harry Potter, Peacock Premium is the only place to go for streaming, while renting and buying can be done through Amazon.
