Harry Potter Movies Now Available for Free Streaming on ITVX Warner Bros and ITV have announced a new partnership that makes all eight main Harry Potter films and the three Fantastic Beasts movies available for free streaming on ITVX. The deal marks a significant milestone for the iconic franchise, which is set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its debut film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, on November 16, 2001. The agreement also includes future broadcasts on ITV1 and ITV2, expanding the franchise’s reach to a broader audience. The availability of the entire Harry Potter film collection on ITVX has been met with enthusiasm from fans, with ITV Content Acquisitions Head Darren Nartey expressing pride in the partnership. “We are extremely proud to make these iconic British films available for both old and new fans to stream, for free, during the summer holidays and beyond,” Nartey stated. The decision to offer the films for free aligns with the franchise’s enduring popularity, which has generated over $9.6 billion in global box office revenue since its launch. The Harry Potter series, adapted from J.K. Rowling’s novels, follows the adventures of 11-year-old orphan Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, as he discovers his magical heritage and enrolls at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he forms lifelong friendships with Hermione Granger, portrayed by Emma Watson, and Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint. The films chronicle Harry’s journey to defeat the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, a narrative that has captivated audiences worldwide for decades. In addition to the main series, the Fantastic Beasts films—spin-offs set in the Harry Potter universe—are now streaming on ITVX.#warner_bros #j_k_rowling #daniel_radcliffe #itv #itvx
