If you're looking to watch the Harry Potter movies in order (especially now they're available on HBO Max in the US), here's how you do it. Just before franchises truly consumed Hollywood, Harry Potter was the biggest movies series around. Matching the success of the JK Rowling novels that inspired the films, the saga of a boy wizard taking on the vile Lord Voldemort has already captivated generations with its vivid world of magic.

The movies didn’t end with 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Rowling has also returned to her Wizarding World’s past, scripting the '20s-set Fantastic Beasts prequel movies which introduce an early version of Albus Dumbledore, and his former friend/arch-enemy Gellert Grindelwald.
