Forget about your usual Thanksgiving plans, because a magical event is on the horizon – a full three-day Harry Potter movie marathon! Picture this: you’re in a post-Thanksgiving feast daze, having indulged in turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pie. Now, imagine sinking into your couch and immersing yourself in the enchanting world of Harry Potter for three whole days. Honestly, can it get any better than that? I think not!
This year, that dream can become a reality. Yes, you read that right – every Harry Potter film (except for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald) will be aired over Thanksgiving weekend, making it a holiday to remember. The marathon will take place on the USA Network, so make sure you have access. Sadly, the days of Harry Potter marathons on Freeform are behind us ever since Disney handed over the cable rights to NBCUniversal back in 2017. Thankfully, NBC has kept the tradition alive by airing these classics each Thanksgiving.
Just imagine: feasting like Harry and his friends in the Great Hall! You could even spice up your Thanksgiving spread with themed treats like treacle tarts, pumpkin juice, or even some homemade butterbeer. This year, Thanksgiving could transform into Pottergiving or Thanksharry, or whatever you want to call it. What truly matters is the chance to binge-watch Harry Potter while enjoying all the delicious food.
Here’s the marathon schedule to mark on your calendars:

Keep in mind that several movies will air multiple times, so you can catch them all while still spending time with family. You’ll also have time for eating, napping, or even a quick dash for Black Friday sales, as long as you hurry back. But let’s be real – the bulk of your Thanksgiving weekend is best spent cozied up in front of the TV with a marathon of Harry Potter films, just like the Pilgrims would have wanted.
