SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN can unblock UK Netflix from anywhere in the world. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This plan comes with a generous money-back guarantee.


The big news in the world of streaming right now is that all eight Harry Potter films are coming to Netflix UK/IE on May 17. Naturally, news like that has caused a major stir amongst Harry Potter fans.

If you're based in the UK and subscribed to Netflix, you simply need to clear your schedule, log into your account, and then settle down for hours and hours of magical entertainment. If you live outside the UK, you'll need to take some steps to secure access to these films.

Netflix subscribers will be immediately blocked when attempting to access UK Netflix from outside the country. Fortunately, you can bypass this geo-restriction with a streaming-friendly VPN. These cybersecurity services can hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in the UK. This process tricks UK Netflix into providing you with access from anywhere in the world:

  1. Sign up to a VPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the UK

  4. Log in to your Netflix account to watch all eight Harry Potter films

Most of the best VPNs for unblocking Netflix are not free, but they do tend to offer money-back guarantees. By using these guarantees, you can unblock UK Netflix without fully committing with your cash. This is a sneaky trick, but it will give you plenty of time to unlock a Harry Potter movie marathon for free.

There are multiple VPNs that can reliably unblock UK Netflix, but ExpressVPN is probably the best. Users get an intuitive app and interface, strong connection speeds, and up to five simultaneous connections. ExpressVPN also has a robust privacy policy, so you know your data is secure at all times.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This discounted plan also includes a year of free unlimited cloud backup and a 30-day money-back guarantee. With the money-back guarantee, you can unblock UK Netflix to watch all eight Harry Potter films, and then recover your investment. This way you can watch Harry Potter for free from anywhere in the world.
