How many Harry Potter films are there?
The Harry Potter film series began with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), introducing audiences to the young wizard and his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was followed by Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009). The epic conclusion was split into two parts with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011), bringing Harry’s battle against Lord Voldemort to a dramatic end and cementing the franchise as one of the most beloved film series of all time.
After the massive popularity of the Harry Potter films, the novels are also being made into a series. The lead and the supporting cast have also been finalised.
