This may not come as a huge surprise, but it turns out that Harry Potter's films are incredibly popular. To be clarified, despite the fact that the first film based on FC Rowling's best-selling books came out nearly 25 years ago, it remains a streaming-joger. To that end, "Harry Potter and the Wizard's Stone", aka "Philosopher's Stone" outside the United States, was one of the most popular streaming titles in 2024.

According to the numbers provided by Digital-I, (through The deadline), "Harry Potter and Stone of the Wizard" was seen over 40 million times at the Max Streaming service last year. Although not considered the best movie "Harry Potter" by any meansBeing first clearly considered a lot. Digging deeper into the numbers, director Christopher Columbos's film reached nearly 20% of Warner Bros.'s total subscriber base, which is quite remarkable.

These numbers, more precisely, were provided from the list of British exports of digital-I for 2024. This list measures watching from outside the UK to Netflix, Disney, Prime Video and Max in the United States, as well as Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Latin America and Europe.

Can be argued that this is an example of so -called "NewUstalgia", where something old becomes new thanks to streaming. In any case, the figures help confirm that Rowling's story about a magical boy names Harry remains incredibly popular around the world. So many big movies and TV shows that cost millions to millions to make them regularly fueled on various streaming services. However, this feature of 2001 still enters a large number.

It's almost certain why Warner Bros. Discovery is moving with a full track forward on the Harry Potter TV show for the FBO and Max, which is expected to premiere somewhere in 2026. For several years, the franchise has been living in the shadow of FC Rowling, which has been controversial because of its continuous comment on trans people. The author made many transphobic statements, making it an unpopular individual in some circles. It suggests that Harry Potter should move on without Rowling As a result of these statements, but that will not happen, as Rowling retains creative control.

For all controversy, the franchise, even above these streaming numbers, is obviously popular. Hogwarts Legacy was the best -selling video game of 2023, generating over $ 1 billion in revenue for Warner Bros.. Special Harry Potter 20th anniversary: ​​Return to Hogwarts " Made for Max in 2022. This is not to say anything about the attractions of the theme park in the world of magic, goods and other income generated in recent years. It's a monster.

Spin-off-off-off-off-offs set fire to three filmsBut even they were quite popular before the "Dumbledore Secrets" failed both critically and commercially. The point is, Warner Bros. has all the reasons to believe that the extension of this franchise in some way, form or form is a good idea of ​​pure dollars and the perspective of cents. In the era of uncertainty that Hollywood lives right now, it is too attractive to ignore.
