July 31 is rapidly approaching, and while many Potter-heads are already holding on to the receipts for their pre-ordered copies of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, some are still trying to figure out how you can actually see the play, not just read the script. But if you're wondering if you can watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child online in order to save yourself a trip to London, I've got bad news for you — you're not a wizard and the play is only in London for now.
There's been no word that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be recorded for any medium, including the internet. According to The Telegraph, it's actually pretty impossible to even get tickets for this year and that the best availability for a chance to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is not until early 2017.
The play's website also has no mention of seeing the show online or in any other fashion other than the stage at the Palace Theatre. In fact, there will be no audio or recording equipment allowed inside the show and the website noted that if a person leaves the theater and returns, they will be checked again to be sure they aren't bringing in any type of recording device.

See why the release of the script is such a huge deal? J.K. Rowling has even started a hashtag, #KeepTheSecrets, as a way to encourage those who see and read Harry Potter and the Cursed Childto not spoil any of the plot for those who don't know.
Can you see how an online version would totally ruin the magic?
From the descriptions of the play to the incredible interviews the creative team of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has given, I think it's safe to assume that this play will never make it to YouTube. It sounds like an epic story that has to be seen to be believed and it probably won't translate well through the internet. Even Rowling herself said the reason why she couldn't turn this play into a novel and instead opted to release the script is obvious.
Still bummed? I get it. But hold out hope that the play will be making a triumphant re-telling on the big screen someday. According to the Independent, Warner Bros, the studio that has brought to life all of the Harry Potter films, has filed for the trademark of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. An eighth movie making its way into the world perhaps?
No matter what, remember to #KeepTheSecrets like Severus Snape, the cursed child's namesake did, OK?
© Warner Bros. PicturesHarry Potter is an endlessly fascinating hit franchise. The ever-expanding wizarding world has already inspired web hubs, theme parks, and, probably most importantly, movies, even while author J.K. Rowling has become, more and more, a problematic figure. When Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone got the big-screen treatment in 2001 with director Chris Columbus, writer Steve Kloves, and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, the story of the boy with the lightning-bolt scar got a second, more potent life by making all of the book's fantastical magic, hidden worlds, and incredible creatures 'real.' Sorcerer's Stone grossed almost $1 billion worldwide and created a hunger for more Potter experiences, justifying successful adaptations (including a two-part finale) and spinoff prequels about fantastic beasts.
Maybe years ago, you bought coveted DVD collections, but those might be lost somewhere at your parents' house. In the age of streaming, you'd probably much rather watch the movies somewhere online anyway. Here's where you can get your Potter binge (or re-bingeing) fix right now. © Warner Bros.
Harry Potter Movie Watch Now
Rent the Potter movies on Amazon, iTunes, YouTube, etc.
You'll have to pony up for individual movies if you need a Hogwarts fix. That means none of the major streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon) offer them as part of their subscription lineup right now, which is a bummer, but that's what happens when a movie or series is in high demand. A la carte it is. You can 'accio' them by renting any installment on all major VOD platforms, including Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube.
Watch all the Harry Potter movies on TV
Harry Potter Movie Watch Online Indian Movie
Since NBCUniversal owns the rights to air the series on TV, watching them on one of its channels is the next best place to find Hogwarts adventures. While you may remember FreeForm (a Disney-owned channel) used to have Harry Potter
weekends, you won't find them there anymore. Now, they're on USA and SyFy, and the networks have Potter marathons fairly frequently. If you have a cable subscription that includes those channels, you can check out TV Guide's listings to see when they'll be playing next.Harry Potter Free Movies Watch Online
Sign up for Peacock for now
Even though the Harry Potter franchise is technically a WarnerMedia property since the films were distributed by Warner Bros., and therefore should be housed on Warner's platform HBO Max, there's a deal dating back to 2016 that gives NBCUniversal the TV and digital rights to the films until 2025. Meaning, in addition to airing on NBC's cable channels, they'll also arrive on NBC's streaming platform Peacock from time to time. The movies aren't available to stream there right now, having left after a brief stint in fall 2020—but according to The Observer, they'll be back sometime in early 2021.
To prepare for your inevitable marathon, you can sign up for Peacock here now. Because the streaming service is supported by ads, a basic subscription is totally free, and you might already be eligible for an account based on your cable provider since the platform has deals with Xfinity and Cox.
Eventually, the Hogwarts Express will pull back into HBO Max where it was stationed upon that platform's spring 2020 launch—but again, that won't be for awhile. So in the meantime, Potter-Heads might find a Peacock subscription useful.
