Exciting News for Harry Potter Fans
- The iconic Harry Potter films will return to theaters nationwide in 2025, starting with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on Feb 13.
- Audiences can enjoy special screenings in 3D and 4DX, providing a fresh cinematic experience.
- An HBO series reboot is slated for early 2027, with potential casting rumors creating buzz among fans.
As the new year unfolds, Harry Potter enthusiasts have much to celebrate. The beloved Wizarding World will reappear on the big screen in 2025, rekindling the magic of this cherished franchise, which first captivated audiences in 2001 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This inaugural film achieved remarkable success, grossing nearly $974 million globally during its original release. Over the years, the series has garnered a dedicated following, enchanting viewers with the adventures of young wizard Harry Potter and his friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, at the illustrious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The journey of bringing Harry Potter to the screen almost didn’t happen. A secretary at David Heyman’s office, intrigued by the first book casually placed on a low-priority shelf in 1997, played a pivotal role in the series’ inception. Her passion led Heyman to secure the film rights for the first four installments by investing £1 million with Warner Bros. Now, after years of success, Fathom Events and Warner Bros. will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with this exciting re-release.
Return of the First Four Harry Potter Films

The screenings will commence with Sorcerer’s Stone on February 13, 2025, and each subsequent film will be shown in sequence over three weekends, from Thursday to Sunday. This nostalgic event not only provides fans an opportunity to reexperience the magic, but also commemorates the 20th anniversary of Goblet of Fire, which debuted in 2005.
