Now, here's where things get somewhat tricky. The Fantastic Beasts films are prequels, so they take place decades before the events of the original Harry Potter movies.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (1926)
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (1927)
Chivvy Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (1991-92)

Are the Harry Potter movies on Peacock Beaver State HBO Goop?

Wait, didn't Peacock have the Harry Potter movies? Or was it HBO Max? Yes, they have swapped ownership of the franchise since they both launched. Currently (as of December 7, 2021), both services are flowing all Plague Potter movies.

HBO Max streamed the Molest Mess around movies when it launched in summer 2020. See, WarnerMedia owns the Molest Potter film franchise.
