The popular Harry Potter movies are based on the novels of the same name, written by British author JK Rowling.

Since readers young and old were first introduced to the 'boy who lived' - under the stairs at 4 Privet Drive -  fans have been obsessed with the magical world of Harry Potter with seven books and eight films.

It has since become one of the world's most-loved fictional worlds with grown adults still awaiting their letter from Hogwarts.

Whether you're a Hufflepuff or a Gryffindor, many of you will agree that there isn't a better time to rewatch the Harry Potter films and relive the magic.
