Harry Potter movies are the best, aren’t they? Twenty two years after the first movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the magical world of witchcraft and wizardly is still our favourite way to escape from the real-life horrors of the world.
We can’t get enough of the tremendous trio that is Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) as they navigated the trials and tribulations of student life at the unconventional boarding school Hogwarts.
Honestly, each time we watch the movies, we feel enamoured by the spell-binding storylines, which also include other popular HP characters such as Draco Lucius Malfoy, Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore and Hagrid. So, if you too are looking for an all-night session of all the Harry Potter movies, here are all the details of the movies, including their order, what they’re about, their critics’ ratings and where you can watch them now.
