Like the lightning-scarred young wizard himself, we all need an escape sometimes—and the welcoming world of Hogwarts is a top option for countless fantasy fans around the world.
Here’s how Australian Muggles can watch every film in the Harry Potter franchise. There’s more ways to watch than you might expect, and the Wizarding World is only growing with each Fantastic addition.
All eight films in the original Harry Potter film franchise can be streamed on Netflix, Stan, BINGE, and Foxtel Now within Australia. Surely you’re subscribed to at least one of these services, where every adventure from the Philosopher’s Stone to the Deathly Hallows Part II can be watched and rewatched in all their whimsical glory.
The heartwarming retrospective special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is only available to watch on BINGE, however, giving the Warner Bros platform a special edge over its competitors. You can see its grown-up stars in the trailer below, all assembled within the set of Hogwarts’ Great Hall.
They look pretty weird in normie civilian clothing, Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) disappointingly short and Neville (Matthew Lewis) disappointingly hot.
The Fantastic Beasts films can also be streamed on Netflix, Stan, BINGE and Foxtel Now, with any upcoming entries in the prequel franchise presumably joining the libraries soon. These spin-off films are also available to stream on Paramount+, unlike the original HP adventures.
Our pick for the absolute best of the bunch has to be Alfonso Cuarón’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a darker offering that ushered Harry and his mates into adolescence with spooky style. But perhaps they’re all worth a rewatch, whilst the franchise’s author and future are in deep double, double, toil and trouble.
