Yes, Netflix Has Deleted Harry Potter (All Of It)


At the beginning of January, Netflix consigned 16 movies and TV shows to the chopping block. Unfortunately, it was just getting warmed up.

As we warned in early January, Netflix has a habit of quietly removing third-party content with minimal warning to subscribers. January is a real doozy, with scores of beloved titles being unceremoniously dumped from the service.

This includes the likes of Spartacus, American Horror Story and Happy Death Day. And then there are the exploits of a certain boy wizard.

Did Netflix remove all the Harry Potter movies?

Unfortunately, yes. The entire Harry Potter series. – from Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone through to Deathly Hallows Part 2 – are no longer on Netflix Australia. To get your Potter fix, you’ll need to download them from Google Play or iTunes. (This more or less grants you perpetual ownership instead of being at the mercy of third-party licencing agreements.)

If you’re curious about what else is leaving Netflix, here’s the full list of departing movies and shows. We’ve included the deletion dates so you know precisely how long you have left to watch them. Better get started today.
