The fantastic beasts take something of a backseat as the plot moves to the pursuit of Grindelwald, who wants to establish a wizarding order that's superior to muggles. Entertainment Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Harry Potter film release order (spoilers) | Harry Potter film release order (no spoilers) | Harry Potter film chronological order (no spoilers) One version has spoilers, so to avoid those if you haven't seen the films, click the links to jump right to the order you're looking for.
However, we're presenting two orders to you, the release order, i.e, the date the films came out, and the chronological order that those films occurred on a Wizarding World timeline. That at least makes things consistent and there are important plot threads that run from the first to the last, so any deviation will spoil the story, or leave you confused. Unlike some epic movie franchises, Harry Potter's story is sequential, so you have to watch the films in order. Then you have the question of the Wizarding World films aside from the Harry Potter story - how exactly do these fit into the bigger picture? (Pocket-lint) - The Wizarding World has captured the imagination of fans the world over, but unlike some series of films, there's no numbering to keep you on track, only titles.
