Cancel your plans for the weekend, because all eight films are now on.
We feel could be on the cards because today the wonderful world of wizardry will be included in your UK and Ireland Netflix subscription.
Before this point, muggle fans could only watchif they rented or bought the films.
But now at the flick of a wand – I mean remote – Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley’s () on-screen adventures from The Philosopher’s Stone all the way through to The Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2, will be available to watch whenever you like.
Obviously Potterheads are spinning at the news, and Netflix UK & Ireland are certainly milking this bit of business as they’ve even changed their Twitter bio to a quote from the film: ‘I solemnly swear I am up to no good.’
The streaming giant took to Twitter with the news, with many fans saying they were going to get on their HP marathons ASAP.
‘I might watch all the Harry Potter films within the next week,’ wrote one, while another said: ‘Know what I’m binge watching tonight.’
But some people disagreed with the move and questioned its ethics given about the trans community.
This comes after it was announced there is going to be a at Max – previously HBO Max – coming to our screens.
In a statement, Max explained: ‘The stories from each of Rowling’s Harry Potter books will become a decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and care this global franchise is known for.
‘The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much loved characters and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over 25 years.’
It continued: ‘Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.’
