#Harry potter orde how to#
Here’s how to watch the Harry Potter movies in order.Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a 2007 fantasy film directed by David Yates from a screenplay by Michael Goldenberg, based on the 2003 novel of the same name by J. In fact, you can just stop after the eighth one and call it a day. Also, because those films are just more enjoyable anyway. It’s because of this last fact that we think it best to start with the original eight. Those prequel films, however, do require a fair amount of Wizarding knowledge to enjoy, even if one needn’t have seen the originals to understand. Harry Potter, the original octad of films, takes place about 70 years after the events of Fantastic Beasts (currently just a trilogy) making the latter a prequel of sorts. Either way, you’re likely watching all of one set-either Fantastic Beasts or Harry Potter-before the next. You can arrange them chronologically by story events or chronologically by release date. There’s really only two ways to watch the HP film series. So, if you’re looking to catch up before seeing the new film, there’s over a dozen hours of magical movies to explore, magical without the bloated, confused style of fantastic storytelling. The good news for new fans to the franchise is that Fantastic Beasts is only the black, sodden, exhaust-stained tip of a much more elegant iceberg just three movies below. With the eleventh wizarding film now in theaters, it might be time to finally catch up-or, for those of us who have watched and read since childhood, it might be time to finally give up. If you’re new to the Harry Potter universe, well, hello, good day, sir, madam, welcome, we hope the rock out from which you’ve crawled has been comfortable.
