Cancel your Thanksgiving weekend plans because a Harry Potter marathon is set to take over for three magical days. Picture this: a cozy couch, a feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, followed by an entire weekend devoted to watching every Harry Potter film. Sounds like the ultimate Thanksgiving experience, doesn’t it?
This year, your dream can become a reality. Yes, you heard it right—an extensive marathon showcasing every Harry Potter movie currently available for television airing (excluding Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald) will take place over Thanksgiving weekend. This is your chance for the best Turkey Day since it happened last year.
To catch all the action, tune in to the USA Network, the exclusive channel airing the films. Unfortunately, the days of Harry Potter marathons on Freeform are long gone, thanks to the transfer of cable rights from Disney to NBCUniversal back in 2017. Thankfully, NBC has kept the tradition alive by broadcasting the films over the past few years.
Imagine enjoying a feast reminiscent of the Great Hall with Harry and his friends. Why not spice up your Thanksgiving table with some themed goodies like treacle tarts, pumpkin juice, or even some butterbeer? This Thanksgiving is destined to be transformed into “Pottergiving,” a holiday celebrating both gratitude and the enchanting world of Harry Potter.
Here’s the schedule for the marathon:

Most importantly, you can indulge in three days filled with Harry Potter movies, just as the Pilgrims would have wanted.
