Did you know you can stream all eight "Harry Potter" movies with a single subscription? In fact, the movies are currently available on not one, but two different streaming services.

The series tends to jump back and forth between HBO Max and Peacock Premium, but right now, both services have all eight films.

Based on the novels by J. K. Rowling, the "Harry Potter" franchise has expanded into a whole universe of content. Feature films, video games, and even theme parks take place in the Potterverse. And luckily for Potterheads, you can watch all of the movies from the comfort of your own couch. 

Whether you consider yourself a devoted wizard or witch, or you're just a muggle looking for something new to watch, we've detailed how you can stream every "Harry Potter" film. 

How to watch every 'Harry Potter' movie

All eight "Harry Potter" movies are now available to watch on both HBO Max and Peacock Premium at the same time. That said, it's not clear how long the movies will remain on each platform since the films tend to jump between a few different services.

The cheapest way to watch every "Harry Potter" movie is with a Peacock subscription. Peacock offers some of its library for free, but to stream the "Harry Potter" franchise, you'll need a Peacock Premium plan. You can opt for the ad-supported tier for $5 a month or the ad-free one for $10 a month.  

$4.99 from Peacock TV

Meanwhile, HBO Max's ad-supported tier costs $10 a month, and the ad-free tier costs $15 a month. All subscribers can watch the "Harry Potter" movies. The ad-free plan also adds support for downloading content and the ability to stream select titles in 4K quality. That said, the "Harry Potter" movies are limited to high definition (HD).

How to rent 'Harry Potter' movies

In addition to streaming on HBO Max or Peacock, fans can also rent or buy every "Harry Potter" film on a per-movie-basis through video-on-demand (VOD) retailers. Some of these services include Amazon Prime, RedBox, Vudu, Google Play, and iTunes.

Pricing for the series varies by service, but most of the movies start at $4 to rent or $10 to buy. Once you rent a movie, you typically get 30 days to start watching it, and then 48 hours to finish once you hit play.

Where can I stream the 'Harry Potter' movies in 4K?

Unlike HBO Max and Peacock, select VOD retailers offer the option to watch the "Harry Potter" movies in up to 4K quality with high dynamic range (HDR).

Vudu, Google Play, and iTunes all include 4K viewing options. If you prefer to own the movies on disc, you can also buy the complete "Harry Potter" movie collection on 4K Blu-ray ($98).
