On Nov. 16, 2001, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released in movie theaters. 20 years, 10 movies and over $7.5 billion in box office later, the film series is undoubtedly one of the most iconic fantasy franchises in cinematic history. And much like the movie’s final scene when Gryffindor wins the House Cup, it’s time to celebrate.
From movie marathons to an all-new show hosted by an Oscar-winning actress, your goblet of Harry Potter content runneth over this November. Here’s what to watch and when; to get your Harry Potter fill on Sling TV, subscribe to Sling Blue using the link at the bottom of this page.
Movie Marathons
In honor of the anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (sorry England, we No-Maj Americans don’t vibe with that “Philosopher’s Stone” nonsense), SYFY is currently in the midst of an all-day marathon. The first film in the Harry Potter series will be running on a loop until 10pm ET, when you can catch a new episode of Chucky.
You’ll have more opportunities to watch the full series later this month. USA Network will air a Wizarding World Holiday Marathon over Thanksgiving weekend. Kicking off at 6:30am ET on Thursday, Nov. 25, you can watch, in order: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The marathon resumes Friday, Nov. 26 at 1am ET with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
While your family will likely disown you if you attempt to binge the full marathon, you can use some of those 50 Hours of free Cloud DVR to record and rewatch the series whenever you want. To put it in more magical terms, think of Cloud DVR as your own personal Time-Turner.
New Quiz Show
With all due respect to Angela Lansbury, Helen Mirren is arguably the most estimable British actress NOT to appear in the Harry Potter series. She will be remedying the oversight by hosting a new quiz show that focuses on the Potter-verse.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses premieres Sunday, Nov. 28 on both Cartoon Network and TBS. Billed as a “four-night event” series airing each Sunday through Dec. 19, the show sorts contestants into four houses—Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin—to compete for a series of prizes and the magical Tournament of Houses championship trophy. Other famous faces scheduled to appear include Harry Potter cast members Tom Felton, Simon Fisher-Becker, Shirley Henderson, and Luke Youngblood, alongside superfans Pete Davidson and Jay Leno.
So whether you’re older than Dumbledore or a first-year novice taking the Hogwarts Express for the first time, there’s plenty of enchanting Harry Potter content coming your way this month on Sling TV. Don’t miss a minute by signing up for Sling Blue using the link below.
