Don't be a Flobberworm: Where to Stream The Fantastic Beasts Trilogy Right Now

Fancy a rewatch of the Fantastic Beasts trilogy? Peacock has you covered with all three films in the Harry Potter prequel franchise. 

Penned by J.K. Rowling (the author's first-ever screenplay) and directed by David Yates (helmer of the last four Potter movies), 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them takes its name from the Hogwarts textbook of magical creatures written by famed magical zoologist, Newt Scamander. Fun fact: Newt's grandson, Rolf, married Luna Lovegood, though we don't know if they found irrefutable proof of Crumple-Horned Snorkacks.

Where can you stream the Fantastic Beasts movies?

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Crimes of Grindelwald, and The Secrets of Dumbledore are now streaming on Peacock. Rowling wrote the first two movies on her own before teaming up with veteran Potter screenwriter Steve Kloves on the third. Yates helmed all three installments.

A recap of the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trilogy

The first entry in the magical series picks up in 1926 when Newt (played by Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne) shows up in New York City with the intention of releasing a Thunderbird back into the wild. Of course, things don't go as planned and the awkward bestiary specialist runs afoul of the MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America). In an effort to clear his name, he teams up with Auror Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston); her sister Legilimens, Queenie (Alison Sudol); and bake-happy No-Maj, Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler).

During their adventure, Newt & co. cross paths with Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller), a magic-user known as an Obscurus who who has been forced to suppress his abilities until it violently explodes out of him, and Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), the most-wanted dark wizard on the planet. While Fantastic Beasts ends with the notorious antagonist in custody, it doesn't take long for him to escape in the opening minutes of the second installment — Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. After all, the guy has control over the Elder Wand (one of the all-powerful Deathly Hallows said to be crafted by Death Himself).

The battle against the would-be tyrant who would like nothing more than to subjugate Muggles, begins in earnest in Crimes, which also introduced fans to a young Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law). Wise beyond his years and incredibly sympathetic to the plight of the Muggles, the Hogwarts professor cannot move directly against the dark side. Why? Well, there's the small issue of a binding magical blood pact he made years ago with Grindelwald, whom he loved when the two were young men, plotting out their lives together in Godric's Hollow.

This hurdle sets the stage for The Secrets of Dumbledore. However, Potterheads know full well that Albus does end up finding a way to break the contract because one of the things he's most famous for in the Wizarding World is his defeat of Grindelwald (now played by Hannibal vet, Mads Mikkelsen) in 1945.

In the meantime, though, he must rely on his bartending brother, Aberforth (Richard Coyle); Newt; Tina; Newt's brother, Theseus (Callum Turner); Newt's assistant, Bunty (Victoria Yeates); French wizard, Yusuf Kama (William Nadylam); and Eulalie Hicks (Jessica Williams), a teacher at Ilvermorny (the American school of witchcraft and wizardry). Queenie, meanwhile, has joined up with Grindelwald, whose inner circle also includes Vinda Rosier (Poppy Corby-Tuech), Helmut (Aleksandr Kuznetsov), Credence (revealed to be a secret member of the Dumbledore family).

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Crimes of Grindelwald, and The Secrets of Dumbledore are now streaming on Peacock.
