Netflix has confirmed that all eight Harry Potter films will be removed from the streaming platform on New Year's Day, Thursday, January 1, 2026. The beloved franchise, which also includes the Fantastic Beasts spin-off series, will no longer be available on Netflix after that date.
The collection, which arrived on Netflix only a couple of years ago, has been hailed by fans as “truly the greatest film franchise of all time” and “one of the greatest stories ever told.” Subscribers can still enjoy their festive marathons before the films disappear for good in the New Year.
Despite the departure, devotees of the wizarding world will continue to have access to both the original films and the Fantastic Beasts series through Prime Video. Additionally, HBO is developing a Harry Potter television series, currently scheduled for a 2027 launch.
Other family favourites also set to leave Netflix at the start of 2026 include both Paddington movies, the 1996 adaptation of Matilda, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
