Harry Potter

The films in order, and the questions the quizzes ask.

Watch the eight Harry Potter films in release order, which also follows Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) from his first year at Hogwarts to the battle that ends the story. Using the rounded cinema runtimes, credits included, they add up to 19 hours and 39 minutes before breaks.

  1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001), 152 minutes
  2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), 161 minutes
  3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), 142 minutes
  4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), 157 minutes
  5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), 138 minutes
  6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), 153 minutes
  7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010), 146 minutes
  8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011), 130 minutes

Start with Sorcerer’s Stone, called Philosopher’s Stone in the UK, and keep the two Deathly Hallows films close together, because Part 1 stops in the middle of the story. The three Fantastic Beasts films are prequels set decades earlier and can wait. This page collects our reviews of all eight, the explainers and ranked lists, and quizzes that sort you into a Hogwarts house, a professor or a Death Eater.
