3. VPNs
Another way to access the Harry Potter films is through VPNs. VPNs are virtual private networks that protect your IP address and secure your browsing. They prevent hackers from accessing your content by loading you into a private network.
Since VPNs block your IP address, websites cannot tell where you are in the world so that you can access any streaming service in a different country.
Here are some VPN options to choose from. Further down, we will show you different options for streaming with a VPN.
Surfshark
A service based in the Netherlands and founded in 2018, Surfshark offers data leak detection services and private search tools in addition to its private network service.
Surfshark is high-speed, with connections up to 2×10 gigabits per second, which means that this VPN does not significantly buffer. Download the app from the Google Play Store to begin your VPN journey with Surfshark.
Choose between C$ 15.79 a month with a one-month purchase, C$ 4.89 a month with a one-year deal, or $C 3.09 a month when you sign up for a two-year subscription.
