Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Wow, this movie came out 20 years ago. Before we get too depressed about how old we are, let’s get down to brass tacks. This is your intro to the Harry Potter universe. You’ll meet the orphaned Harry, who’s being raised by a pretty dodgy aunty and uncle. His life changes when Hagrid (legend) informs him that he’s actually a pretty special little bloke. It’s in this instalment that Harry and his squad — Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley team up at Hogwarts. Let the games begin!
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Now an unbreakable crew, the trio of Harry, Hermione, and Ron are back. And after their rookie year at Hogwarts, they are confirmed as emerging badasses. The only problem is, they have to deal with a threat that’s been unleashed from within the Chamber of Secrets — which is equally badass. Who will prevail? Guess you’ll just have to watch and find out!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The third instalment in the series introduces the murderer Sirius Black. Fresh from escaping Azkaban prison, he’s got a particular teenage wizard squarely in his sights. In a twist though, the prodigious Potter discovers a connection between himself and the escapee, as well as more secrets from his past.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Halfway through your Harry Potter on Netflix bender, you’ll stumble upon this classic. And just like the Olympics, you’ll be witnessing another iconic competitive event: the Triwizard Tournament. Selected in the Goblet of Fire — while technically a fourth and illegitimate player — Harry is forced to throw his hat in the ring.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Things take a turn for the darker in the fifth instalment. The rebellion of Hogwarts, the plotting of Voldemort, and Harry’s nightmares set the scene for this thorny, drama-filled flick. Definitely a more detailed and mature detour for the franchise.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Six years down, Harry gets his HSC and heads off to schoolies… But seriously, things get pretty rough for Harry and his Hogwarts chums. Why? Only the Death Eaters. No biggie. Also, as the teens approach adulthood, things get a little spicier on the romantic front. It’s definitely a welcome extra dimension of intrigue in the Harry Potter world.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I
As we arrive at the series’ conclusion, things all get a little bit real. The dream team of Harry, Hermione, and Ron are on a quest to sniff out and destroy the Horcruxes: which is key to Voldemort’s nifty knack of not dying (yep, he’s a bad guy). It’s all but a prelude to the real finale though…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
Yeah, yeah, we get it. They split up the final instalment to make two whole movies. A bit cheeky. But if you’ve made it this far into the Harry Potter on Netflix extravaganza, you’re pretty much a full-blown addict by now. It’s the ultimate ding-dong between the now battle-hardened Harry and the forces from the dark side, led by Lord Voldemort. Make it to the end and you’ll be handsomely rewarded.
