There are some book franchises that transition really well into movies. The ones that do often become more famous and well-known because it catches the fans of the book and then makes new ones with the movie. One of the most popular that nailed both books and movies is Harry Potter and now fans are always wondering: Is Harry Potter coming to Netflix? Here's what we know.

Is 'Harry Potter' coming to Netflix?

There were rumors in January of 2019 that the entire Harry Potter franchise was going to hit the streaming platform Netflix. It was supposedly going to happen later in that month, but fans who were thrilled with the news were devastated to find out there was a catch.

As Seventeen reported, while it was technically true that the Harry Potter movie franchise was heading to Netflix, it wasn't true for everyone — particularly it wasn't true for anyone who lives in the United States or anywhere outside of select locations. "Unless you live in Australia or New Zealand, the movies won't be available to watch on Netflix," the publication wrote. 

It's true, at that time, Harry Potter was hitting Netflix, but only in those countries.

Well, where can you stream 'Harry Potter' then?

As we come up on the end of 2020, Harry Potter still isn't hitting U.S. Netflix. While not being able to stream the Harry Potter franchise's many movies on Netflix is a bummer, all is not lost. There is a way for Americans to watch the movies — yes, all of them — without needing to buy each movie individually or spend lots of money on a Blu-ray bundle pack.

As of October 2020, all of the Harry Potter movies are available to stream on the new platform Peacock. The new streaming service is "owned and operated by the Television and Streaming division of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast." Obviously given the name due to the logo of the network, this is its answer to competing with Netflix. And this platform having access to all the Harry Potter movies is certainly giving it a boost.

The best part of all of this for people in the U.S. is that Peacock is giving access to these movies for free. Yep, you don't have to be a subscriber to this platform because they offer a tiered option to an audience who doesn’t mind sitting through advertisements.

For anyone who doesn't want to sit through the advertisements while watching a Harry Potter-athon, you can pay for the tier offering ad-free viewing for $9.99 per month.

Vulture previously reported, though, that the Harry Potter series will not be available continuously on Peacock. The films will "play on the service during multiple windows between October and March." 

The first window started in October, so you have until the end of the month to get your Harry Potter fix. "The first window will last for a month, with the movies then airing on NBCU’s linear broadcast and cable networks (and, potentially, their websites)," Vulture shared. "They’ll then return to Peacock early in 2021.”

Love and Monsters

‘Love and Monsters’ Review: Dylan O’Brien Leads a Fun and Imaginative Post-Apocalyptic Romp “Love and Monsters” is the rarest kind of movie these days: A funny, original, genre-mashing adventure made with big studio money. “Love and Monsters” Michael Matthews’ “ Love and Monsters ” is the rarest kind of movie these days: A fun, imaginative, genre-mashing adventure that was made with a modest amount of big studio money and destined for a theatrical release despite not being adapted from a comic book or carried by a major star. Well, maybe “destined” isn’t the right word, as a certain pandemic (you know the one) came along and compelled Paramount to scuttle a multiplex release in favor of a VOD play. And while it might be legally accurate to say that “Love and Monsters” isn’t based on pre-existing material, it couldn’t be more obvious that it was conceived by someone who saw “Zombieland” on TV one night and thought to themselves: “I could do it...

‘Dexter’: Showtime Revives Serial Killer Drama As Limited Series, Michael C. Hall & Clyde Phillips Return Showtime Dexter  is back to his blood-splattering ways after  Showtime  ordered a new limited-series revival of the long-running serial-killer drama. Michael C. Hall , who starred as the title character in the 2006-13 series, is back along with showrunner  Clyde Phillips . The premium cable network has handed the series a 10-part run that is set to go into production in early 2021 with a tentative premiere date of fall 2021. The original followed Dexter Morgan, who was a complicated and conflicted blood-spatter expert for the Miami Police Department but moonlighted as a serial killer. Gary Levine, Co-President of Entertainment at Showtime, said that the network was only willing to revisit the “unique” character if they could find a creative take that was “worthy,” and they have “found it”.

Los Angeles Dodgers • Atlanta Braves • National League Championship Series

History isn’t totally against the Dodgers Friday night … just mostly The 3-1 series deficit L.A. faces against Atlanta has been overcome, but not very often Worl Series MVP Josh Beckett hands an autographed baseball from his car to a fan Sunday, Oct. 26, 2003, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. after the team arrived home from New York one day after winning the World Series. (AP Photo/Rick Silva) The Dodgers face an elimination game tonight, but their fans should realize history is not totally against them. (Of course, it would help if they still had Josh Beckett on their pitching staff. Stay with me, and it’ll become clear.) In the history of baseball, there have been 13 comebacks from 3-1 deficits in best-of-seven series, similar to the one the Dodgers face against the Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series. Keep in mind, of course, that none of those series had the elements peculiar to this postseason, including neutral sites and series without off days to tax pitching staf...
