France and Belgium Netflix recently added the Harry Potter movies to their network and Canada Netflix recently added Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Potterheads have eagerly wanted the streaming giants to add the Wizarding World movies to the network worldwide. But with the rights owned by other networks, for example, in the US, SYFY has the rights to air the movies, it’s not possible.
Fans will be hoping that when networks like SYFY are looking to pass the rights on, streaming networks like Netflix will come in and gain the rights to show the movies. Or, Netflix will one day be able to convince networks to pass the rights to them.
Basically, we want the Harry Potter movies on the streaming network so we can watch them over and over again as often as we want. And while it’s only been added to Netflix Australia, it’s one step closer to the movies being added everywhere.
Do you think Netflix will one day add the Harry Potter movies worldwide one day? Drop a comment below sharing your thoughts.
