Harry Potter movies leaving Sky movies today will they return?

Harry Potter Movies, the whole set have been available on movies for a while now, however all 8 are only available in for 1 day from today Feb 26 2021 😭

 

Will they return to Sky Movies or have they lost the rights to stream them?

 

Does anyone know of another service in the UK to stream all 8 from. 

 

Learnt they were leaving 3 days ago, and devastated, as one of the main reasons to stay with Sky, little point now if can’t have the full catalogue of Harry Potter films 😭😭

Hey all,

 

As a big Harry Potter fan, I'm sad about this too!

 

Our licence finished in February and we don't yet have a date for the return☹️

They will probably be back some time in the future as this happen every so often with the films that the rights leave Sky and move to another broadcaster only to return to Sky later.

@oj01  I will check for my dad as he has Sky, didn't actually think of that, will have to guide him over the phone unless there is a way to do this remotely?

I access via NowTV pass where I am with lockdown, so can’t download.

If Harry Potter movies are the ONLY reason you sub to Sky then why not purchase them on Disk then you'll have then forever with no ties to a subscription?

8-film, 16-disk Blu-ray sets for £20-£40 on eBay, with more 'extras' and 'bonus features' than any Muggle could want ; )

@no+ban+more+caution I've just checked and, unfortunately, they will self delete from the Planner tomorrow. So that's not an option I'm afraid.

Re: Harry Potter movies leaving Sky movies today will they return?

disks degrade over time, get scratched and take up space don't have, so digital copy is preferred, if a good deal comes a long where affordable I would buy digitally. It seems there is less these days that make Sky a differentiating choice from other services, for us Harry Potter was one of them. 

 

It is personal choice of course, I guess I was just expressing that this has given rise to pause and consider alternatives which seems reasonable.

Thanks @oj01, I just figured out how to download remotely to the sky box too lol!

 

Nevermind I at least I found out this was possible so can do this for more movies or programmes if need to.

Thanks

Unfortunately no platform can expect to purchase permanent rights to content unless it's an 'original' where they funded production.

Thanks @TimmyBGood I don't eBay (hasn't been a good experience), but thanks for putting up this info for others to see. I will look to see how much on sky store digitally or Amazon prime so not help to fortune by any streaming/ subscription service.

@no+ban+more+caution they are available on Sky Store Buy & Keep digitally. This is much safer than downloading from Sky Cinema as you get to keep them even if you change boxes at any time (which is inevitable eventually)

Not if treated properly, I have DVD here that are decades old and still as good as the day I purchased them

 

As mentined earlier, Sky does have Buy and keep that can be accessed without a monthly subscription, I can access my Buy and Keep movies on my LG Smart TV, PC and iPads, no sky box required

Re: Harry Potter movies leaving Sky movies today will they return?

@Annie+UKI’m happy for you your dvd’s have lasted you well, not same experience for all and everyone has different circumstances. For me digital copies works best.

 

Sky store is good so as I have said in prior post will be a good option to consider for digital copy. Thanks to @oj01  I learnt how to download remotely today, so all's not lost.

Harry Potter Films Can't be downloaded

I am watching through the Harry Potter films with the kids this weekend. Watched 1 and 2 fine over the last couple of days.

 

However my download of 3 is saying now not available and all of the movies seem to have the picture, but no content. 

 

Am I missing something or has anyone else experienced this?
