Users can view these films by either signing into their existing paid NBCUniversal account (as USA is an NBC affiliate), creating a free account and using its limited features, or linking their television provider account.

However, the company elaborated on its relationship with the Harry Potter franchise back in 2020. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the films were slated to only appear on the platform in set windows of time. Essentially, they would shift in and out of availability at certain intervals. It seems that we are now in a period where the films are being pulled from the streaming service.

Paid subscribers of HBO Max have full access to the Harry Potter library as well as its offshoot films such as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, and Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses.
