    Your Streaming Guide to Watching Harry Potter Movies in Order

    The Harry Potter films brought one of the most beloved book series ever written to life and sparked the imaginations of an entire generation. In this guide, we'll show you how to watch every Harry Potter film in order, and where you can find them on streaming services in the United Kingdom. Whether they're available on Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer or any other service, you can find out the best way to watch them in the U.K. with this streaming guide.

    Author JK Rowling’s massively popular series of seven novels revolves around the life of young wizard Harry Potter, and his best friends Ron and Hermione from the time they get their letters notifying them they have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to their big confrontation with the most evil dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort.

    All eight Harry Potter films feature in the top 100 list of highest grossing movies of all time, and their success inspired Warner Bros to further expand the universe with three Fantastic Beasts prequel films and a Harry Potter television series.

    In what order should I watch the Harry Potter films?

    With so much Harry Potter content to sort through, let this guide help you on your journey through the wizard world of Harry Potter by watching the films in order of release, starting with the Harry Potter films and followed by the prequel Fantastic Beasts films.

    The Harry Potter films brought actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint to the fore as we witnessed them grow and mature over the 10 years it took for all eight Harry Potter films to be released. The first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was released in 2001 and introduced new and old fans to the fantastic world of magic mixed with teen drama against the backdrop of prophecy and the reemergence of a dormant evil.

    The following saw the release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and in 2004 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban brought the series into a darker era under the direction of Alfonso Cuarón. The following year, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was released, followed by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2007, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in 2009.

    Between 2010 and 2011, Warner Bros released Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2, after deciding one film was not sufficient to give a proper sendoff to the beloved series. The final film sits firmly in the top 20 highest grossing films of all time, after bringing in an easy £1 billion.

    With the rousing success of the Harry Potter films and the clear thirst from the public for more stories in the wizarding world, Warner Bros went on to produce three prequel films. The films took their main title, Fantastic Beasts, from a textbook mentioned several times in the Harry Potter novels called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which serves as a type of encyclopedia of magical creatures.

    The Fantastic Beasts films follows the story of the book’s author, Newt Scamander, and his escapades in 1920s New York City while eventually shifting the focus of the story onto the escalating struggle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. In total, three Fantastic Beasts films were released, including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in 2016, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in 2018, and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in 2022.

    Jurassic Park Movies in Order: A Streaming Guide to the Prehistoric Theme Park

    Jurassic Park is one of the most popular franchises to come out of the 1990s and into the 21st century. Our endless fascination with prehistoric creatures means that we’ll never tire of imagining how it would be if humans and dinosaurs existed simultaneously, and the Jurassic Park films give us a tantalising, terrifying, and highly entertaining look at what that might look like. With six instalments in total over the span of nearly three decades, the Jurassic Park films have become cinema classics that merit a regular rewatch anytime.

    So, strap into your Jeep Wrangler and get ready to traverse the wondrous Isla Nublar with our guide on where to watch all the Jurassic Park movies in order.

    Jurassic Park is based on Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel of the same name, and was adapted for the big screen by beloved director Steven Spielberg. Upon release in 1993 it quickly became one of the highest-grossing films of all time, both in the US and internationally. The film introduced audiences to a world in which genetic engineers had been able to crack the DNA code of dinosaurs and return them to life within the confines of the theme park Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar off the coast of Costa Rica. We also were first introduced to Sir Richard Attenborough as the Park’s visionary creator, John Hammond, Sam Neill as palaeontologist Dr. Alan Grant, Laura Dern as paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, and Jeff Goldblum’s iconic mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm. Seeing dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus, and Velociraptor depicted on screen for the first time created a lasting cultural impression of what dinosaurs looked like for decades to come.

    The film’s success guaranteed that a sequel would follow, and in 1997, The Lost World: Jurassic Park was released. Richard Attenborough and Jeff Goldblum reprised their roles once again with new additions: Julianne Moore as behavioural palaeontologist Dr. Sarah Harding and Pete Postlethwaite as game hunter Roland Tembo. 2001’s Jurassic Park III saw the return of Sam Neill and Laura Dern, and introduced new characters with Téa Leoni’s Amanda Kirby and William H Macy’s Paul Kirby. After the third film’s lacklustre reception, it seemed the Jurassic Park franchise was all but extinct – until 2015 when it was brought back to life for a new trilogy series this time called Jurassic World.

    The new trilogy kicked off with Jurassic World, this time helmed by director Colin Trevorrow and featuring an all-new cast including Chris Pratt as ethologist and raptor trainer Owen Grady, and Bryce Dallas Howard as the operations manager of the new park, Claire Dearing. The film also brought back BD Wong as lead geneticist Dr. Henry Wu, who was briefly introduced in the first Jurassic Park. The film became one of the highest grossing movies of all time, even surpassing the first Jurassic Park at the box office.

    Trevorrow went on to direct Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in 2018, and Jurassic World Dominion in 2022. Dominion brought the franchise full circle, bringing back the original cast in addition to the new members in a triumphant end to the second trilogy.

    Watch Mad Max Movies in Order: A Streaming Guide to the Wasteland

    If you're looking for a UK streaming guide to the Mad Max franchise, we've got you covered. Here you can see where to watch every Mad Max movie on UK streaming services such as Disney+ Netflix and Prime Video. We'll also let you know if you can watch it for free on services like iPlayer and ITVX.

    When George Miller made his directorial debut with Mad Max in 1979, he had no idea it would become known as one of the greatest action films of all time. The film brought audiences down under to a dystopian Australia where society has collapsed into tribal warfare and the remaining population are reduced to fighting for decimated resources in a desert wasteland. After the success of the first Mad Max, Miller went on to make two more instalments in the 1980s starring Mel Gibson before returning to the series 30 years later in 2015 with the critically acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road starring Tom Hardy as the classic character.

    With a fifth instalment, Furiosa, on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to slap on your sand goggles and drive through the wasteland by watching the four previous Mad Max instalments in order of release. Check out our handy guide below to find out how to stream all the Mad Max movies in order.

    In 1979, George Miller plucked the relatively unknown actor Mel Gibson out of obscurity and put him in the starring role of his daring original film as Max Rockatansky. The first film covered Max’s evolution from a rising Main Force Patrol officer to a bereft, lone drifter through the wasteland. 1981’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior continued Max’s story, picking up about three years later when Max finds himself helping a group of oil refinery workers trying to escape the station through a horde of murderous bikers. The third instalment, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, was released in 1985 and takes up Max's story some eighteen years later after he is exiled by settlement leader Aunty Entity and finds himself protecting a group of children who survived a crash in the desert.

    After Miller hit pause on the series for some thirty years, he returned to the wasteland in 2015 with Mad Max: Fury Road, this time starring British actor Tom Hardy as the damaged but moral protagonist. Fury Road brought a new generation into the world of Mad Max and introduced us to the new character Furiosa, a renegade general trying to help five women escape the clutches of Immortan Joe. While writing the screenplay for Fury Road, Miller and screenwriters Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris fleshed out the side characters to an extent that they wound up with enough material for two more films.

    The next entry on this list is 2024’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy as a young Furiosa and explores the character’s origin story. While details about the following film, Mad Max: The Wasteland are as scarce as water in the desert, it is likely we will see the return of Tom Hardy as Max in a continuation of his story.

    Whether you want to prep yourself for the latest Mad Max instalment or take a drive through the wasteland for purely nostalgic reasons, check out our complete guide to the Mad Max movies in order and find out where to watch them all below.
