The Harry Potter movies’ presence on Netflix comes and goes but ultimately depends largely on where you live in the world. Here’s the currently streaming status of Harry Potter on Netflix and where you can find it if it’s not available.
Yes, Harry Potter is on Netflix. But it’s not available in every region. At the time of writing, those regions are limited to Canada, Spain or Portugal. The good news is that you can change your region – and watch Harry Potter on Netflix – no matter where you are in the world. All you need is a good VPN – I recommend ExpressVPN ($6.66/month).
- Later films in the series, starting at 2007’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, are available on Netflix in Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Read more: Line Of Duty taken off.
- Horns (2013) Horns is another film project starring Radcliffe where the plotline leaves you.
- TL;DR Canadian Netflix just got the last four Harry Potter films and fans in the U.S. Are kind of ticked, to put it nicely. Earlier this month, Netflix Canada dropped the news on Twitter. I know you're upset we're only getting the last four Harry Potter movies, but this is your reminder that Netflix US isn't getting any of them.

Before we go any further, it’s important to note that Netflix changes its library all the time. So, as I’ve said above, while the Harry Potter films are available on Canadian, Spanish and Portuguese Netflix – at the time of writing – they might not be next week. I suggest using the unogs.com (Unofficial Netflix Online Global Search) to check which Netflix regions Harry Potter is currently available in.
How to watch Harry Potter on Netflix: Quick guide
- Get ExpressVPN ($6.66/month) or Ivacy ($2.25/month)
- Download VPN app on your device
- Open the app and connect to Canadian, Spanish or Portuguese server
- Open Netflix and search for Harry Potter
That’s it.
Can you change Netflix regions?
The short answer is: use a VPN (see below).
Here’s the longer, and more detailed answer: Netflix is a global service. Those of you who have tried to access your Netflix account while travelling will have noticed you get served different libraries when you access Netflix in different countries.
This is essentially what you need to do to watch the Harry Potter films on Netflix. However, instead of physically travelling to Canada, Spain or Portugal, you can stay at home and virtually spoof your location using a VPN (virtual private networks).
VPN’s combine military-grade encryption and a private network of servers to let users browse the web using an IP address in a location of their choice. This simple technique allows VPNs to unlock Netflix libraries from all around the world.
Example: This means a user in New Zealand (where I am based) can connect to a VPN, select a UK server, and then watch BBC iPlayer all the way from the other side of the world.
Best VPN for Netflix?
Resist the temptation to buy the cheapest VPN you can find (not all of them work with Netflix). I made this mistake when I moved to New Zealand in 2017 and paid for a 5-year subscription to IPVanish. Then, a month into my subscription IPVanish stopped working with Netflix and BBC iPlayer, and there was nothing I could do
Read Netflix detecting VPN? or BBC iPlayer not working with VPN to find out what I did to fix this.
1. ExpressVPN
If you want to unlock multiple Netflix regions then there is one service that’s head and shoulders about the competition. ExpressVPN has the fastest servers, best customer service, and best of all, it works with the most Netflix regions.
Finding a server that is open with the Netflix region want is easy. Most of the time, all you need to do is navigate your way to the Recommended servers list in the ExpressVPN app and you’ll be able to watch Netflix without any issues.
If this doesn’t work, for whatever reason, users are encouraged to speak to a support agent via the ExpressVPN website’s 24/7 Live Chat. Here users can speak to an ExpressVPN representative and literally ask which servers are currently working with Netflix.
ExpressVPN has a dedicated app for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, iPad, Amazon Firestick, Apple TV, PS4 and Xbox. There are also browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
2. Ivacy
If you don’t want to spend $6.66/month on ExpressVPN then the next best service I recommend is Ivacy ($2.25/month).
Ivacy is more of a challenger brand, hence the price gap, but it’s heading in the right direction – recently winning several awards from technology its servers’ speed.
This VPN has all the features you need to unlock Netflix regions, in HD, from any country in the world. I’ve been testing the app recently on Mac, PC, Android, iOS and FireStick and the results have been impressive – unlocking Canadian Netflix with ease.
For an extra $1.99/month you can add-on a dedicated IP. This will buy you sole access to an IP address in a country of your choice, meaning you won’t have to share your IP (and speeds) with any other use.
3. NordVPN
NordVPN is the best VPN for unblocking Netflix regions. It has 1883+ servers and a dedicated technical team that monitors each connection.
In the unlikely scenario where you’re unable to find a server that works with the Netflix region you want – just head to the Netflix Support page to find a list of servers that are “open” and verified by Nord’s dedicated tech team.
The NordVPN app is available for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Linux (plus a Chrome extension).
Four is better than none, that's for sure.
If you somehow missed the big news, the last four Harry Potter films were just uploaded to Netflix Canada.
So you can officially use our terrible and cold weather to your advantage, curl up under the covers with some butterbeer, and binge the end of the saga of our favourite boy wizard.

— Netflix Canada (@Netflix_CA) January 24, 2019They weren't shy about it, either, and kind of rubbed it in the States' face.
I mean, I don't blame them, but as an HP lover... I felt the sting of that burn.
Harry Potter:
Canada = 4
US = 0
Everyone in Canada has been totally stoked.
Like I said, the weekend is upon us and the time for binging has never been better.
Best thing @netflix did was add the Harry Potter movies
— Luiza (@_luizaa_) February 1, 2019HARRY POTTER IS FINALLY ON NETFLIX. SEE YALL MONDAY.
— josh (@joshsfr) February 1, 2019Most of the tweets about it are shouts of joy from Canadians and other countries that have been waiting for this day.
But it didn't go unnoticed by our American neighbours...
@netflix put harry potter on netflix now, canada just dragged us https://t.co/75VlGTQ7RB
— alexas // HAPPY HARRY DAY (@mercysIive) January 25, 2019There are distribution rights to consider with films as large as the one in the Harry Potter franchise so we won't be getting all eight films in Canada.
But at least we've got some of them. Because down south, they don't have it so lucky.
Netflix Canada has all of the Lord of the Rings movies and is about to have all the Harry Potter ones too. US Netflix is trash
— Carolina Jaguar (@Carolina_Jag) January 23, 2019I just wanna know why @netflix thinks it’s okay to not have Harry Potter on Netflix in the US but it is in Canada??? I’m highly upset.
— annastasia🍯 (@annaa_bananaa15) January 4, 2019They obviously aren't just mad cause it's us that got them, though. Because other countries are getting called out, too.
It's the principle of the thing!
And clearly,Harry Potter is something worth denouncing your citizenship over.
Harry Potter movies coming to Netflix Canada so it’s official I’m never going back to the US
— 🤡 (@ANDlE666) January 23, 2019so why the fuck are all the harry potter’s gonna be on netflix in australia and new zealand but not the fucking US?????
— BROOKE (@brookemoulton29) January 25, 2019I'm a lover of the Wizarding World, so I get where they're coming from.
The films are pretty much an annual staple for me around Christmastime.
Yo @netflix we need to talk if canada can get the harry potter movies why cant the us? Please consider getting these thanks. https://t.co/YZVGR13AVA
— NinjaGreg 🇺🇸 (@RealNinjaGreg) January 25, 2019So, I also totally understand why people are a little peeved that we're only getting the first four.
Like this Canon Queen below says, we must teach the youth!

— 🐉 (@hrgziz) January 30, 2019How am I supposed to binge Harry Potter when the first 4 aren’t there!!!! #wtf#Netflix this isn’t okay. How are the newbies supposed to understand the wizard ing world without watching all of them!? They need the backstory!!!! #Disappointing
— stephanie stafford (@stephan62323550) February 1, 2019Now that I know all eight films are available in Australia and Spain...

Maybe I'm going to have to move, too.
Dear Netflix,
How is it that France and other European countries can have all 8 Harry Potter movies; but the US and Canada can’t?
Sincerely,
A witch

Harry Potter:
France = 7
Canada = 4
US = 0
Pour une fois qu'on gagne. 💪🏻 @NetflixFR
Even France needed to chime in once more, to make sure we knew that while we're over here feeling superior to the States, they're over in Europe feeling superior to all of us.
What else is new?
the entire harry potter series is on netflix in australia but not canada
... this is honestly so sick and twisted
Netflix Have Harry Potter
— alex (@greedyforlove) January 17, 2019How are you gonna put all Harry Potter movies on Netflix in France, Belgium and Australia but NOT CANADA?! @Netflix_CA
— Akshay (@akshayan96) January 16, 2019Harry Potter Watch Online Hd
Does Netflix derive some kind of sick pleasure from torturing us all with just enough Harry Potter to entice us, but not enough to give us the whole story?!
Harry Potter Movies Streaming Netflix
I'm sure the distribution snafus will be sorted out quickly enough.
And ifyou can't wait, why not move to a more progressive, HP-appreciating Netflix region?!
Seemsappropriate to me...
