Cancel your weekend plans because we've got other magical plans for you. Read our latest on what's new on Netflix Canada.

It is true. It is really true. Harry Potter is now on Netflix Canada and Potterheads all over are rejoicing. It’s a dream come true for many Netflix viewers who have been craving their good old classics especially the Harry Potter series. Netflix Canada confirmed that the last four parts, i.e., Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parts one and two will be available for broadcasting from the beginning of February and the first four parts would not be available due to territorial licensing.

The rumour mills went crazy at the end of 2018 and many other occasions before that, as the word spread that the Harry Potter series would be on Netflix, but fans were left disappointed to know that it was not happening anytime soon. Come January 2019 and these rumours were finally put to rest as Netflix announced in a series of tweets that the movies would in fact be on the streaming site.

Viewers may have compelled Netflix to make this decision and purchase rights to the famous movie series but regardless of how it came around, all Potterheads are excited nonetheless. And for Netflix users who have never seen the movies before, they can now finally get around to watching it and see why it’s only the best series ever. I’m sure all ’90s kids can agree.

Netflix has made a huge name for itself with their original content but everyone loves a visit down memory lane so grab your friends, make some themed party snacks and don’t forget the popcorn, because this is how we know you’ll be spending the rest of the weekend. Binge away, Potterheads, binge away.
