The world of "Harry Potter" continues to grow with more stories that build on the original books and films. The "Fantastic Beasts" series keeps the franchise going with prequel films set in the 1920s.
The first two entries of the spin-off series, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald," are available to stream on HBO Max and Peacock. The third entry in the franchise will premiere in theaters on April 15.
"Fantastic Beasts" colors the world of magic in a way Harry Potter's adventures couldn't by taking us to a time well before "Sorcerer's Stone," far from the dorms of Hogwarts. We follow a different cast in the magical setting of New York City in 1926. When Newt Scamander, a ministry-employed wizard, accidentally frees a group of mythical creatures, he and his companions hustle to clean up the mess.
Eddie Redmayne stars as Newt Scamander, alongside Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, and Ezra Miller. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" received a "74% Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" received a lackluster 36% rating.

The cheapest way to watch the first two "Fantastic Beasts" movies is with a Peacock Premium subscription. Though Peacock has a free plan, you need the Premium option to unlock both films. Peacock Premium with ads costs $5 a month. Ad-free streaming costs $10 a month.
