All 8 Harry Potter Movies Are Officially Disappearing Ahead of HBO’s Reboot

Peacock is set to remove all eight Harry Potter films on 1 December, shortly before HBO’s reboot series is due to premiere on Christmas Day. The timing means viewers will lose access to the original films on the streaming service just as a new adaptation of the books arrives.

The first season of HBO’s series will adapt The Philosopher’s Stone, with later seasons planned for the remaining six books; the full story is expected to unfold over about a decade. The films, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, have earned $7.7 billion worldwide against reported combined budgets of $1.15 billion. Peacock will also remove all three Fantastic Beasts spin-offs on 1 December.
