Which film studio distributed the Harry Potter film series?

Warner Bros. Pictures distributed the Harry Potter film series.

The studio released the eight Harry Potter films between 2001 and 2011. The movies adapted Rowling’s seven novels, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows divided into two films. Warner Bros. also helped develop the broader Wizarding World film properties and operates major Harry Potter attractions and consumer products through related divisions.

The principal film series was produced by David Heyman’s Heyday Films in association with Warner Bros. The cast included Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. Chris Columbus directed the first two films, followed by directors including Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates.

Universal Pictures is often associated with Harry Potter because it operates The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme-park lands. That theme-park connection is different from the studio that distributed the original films.
