Cut to five years later: You’re watching the movie for the third time, in syndication on FX, while you’re visiting your relatives for Thanksgiving. Suddenly, the storyline feels a little racist. Those blue people look kind of silly. And don’t even get you started on that bizarre, tail intertwining sex scene. Don’t you worry. You can finally recapture the magic and relive the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone glory days, because 20th Century Studios is releasing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in theaters this week, ahead of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: The Way of the Water, which is scheduled to release in theaters on December 16, 2022. But if you really want to make James Cameron mad, you can also go ahead and rewatch Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how.

#### WHERE TO WATCH Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone :

In anticipation of the December release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 2, aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: The Way of the Water, the first 2009 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone movie will be re-released in theaters nationwide, beginning on Friday, September 23. You can find a theatrical showing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone near you via Fandango. Because the movie has been out for over a decade, you can also watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone streaming on digital platforms at home. Read on to learn more.

#### IS Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone AVAILABLE ON STREAMING?

Yes! Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is available to buy or rent on digital platforms, including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, and more. The price may vary depending on the platform you use to purchase the film, but Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone costs $3.99 to rent and $14.99 to buy on Amazon Prime.

#### IS Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone STREAMING ON HBO MAX?

No, sorry. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is not streaming on HBO Max at this time. If you want to watch the film at home, you’ll have to buy or rent it on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, or another digital platform.

#### IS THE Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone MOVIE ON NETFLIX?

No, sorry. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is not streaming on Netflix at this time. If you want to watch the film at home, you’ll have to buy or rent it on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, or another digital platform. That said, you can watch the Nickelodeon series Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on Netflix, and I strongly suggest that you do.

“When I sat down with my writers to start ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 2,’ I said we cannot do the next one until we understand why the first one did so well,” Cameron said. “We must crack the code of what the hell happened.”

“There was a tertiary level as well…it was a dreamlike sense of a yearning to be there, to be in that space, to be in a place that is safe and where you wanted to be,” Cameron said. “Whether that was flying, that sense of freedom and exhilaration, or whether it’s being in the forest where you can smell the earth. It was a sensory thing that communicated on such a deep level. That was the spirituality of the first film.”

“They kept wanting to talk about the new stories. I said, ‘We aren’t doing that yet.’ Eventually I had to threaten to fire them all because they were doing what writers do, which is to try and create new stories. I said, ‘We need to understand what the connection was and protect it, protect that ember and that flame.’”

“Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” opens in theaters Dec. 16.

Instead, the multiplexes were about to be dominated by “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,” James Cameron’s science-fiction epic about a battle for natural resources between human colonists from Earth and the native Na’vi people of a distant moon called Pandora. “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” went on to become one of the most successful films of all time, grossing more than $2.8 billion worldwide and winning three Academy Awards.

To help reacquaint audiences with “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” — and with the 3-D filmmaking that dazzled audiences in 2009 — the first movie is being rereleased in theaters on Sept. 23. It’s a strategy that is, of course, intended to prime ticket buyers for the impending follow-up, but also to remind them of what was special about the original.

Calling from his studios in Wellington, New Zealand, the 68-year-old Cameron spoke about seeing “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” through new eyes, how the world has or hasn’t changed since its release and whether this onetime king of the world has maybe — just maybe — chilled out a little bit. These are edited excerpts from our conversation.

Have you watched the original “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” recently? What was that experience like?

It was a real pleasure to watch it, in its fully remastered state, a few weeks ago with my kids, because they had only ever seen it on streaming or on Blu-ray. “Oh yeah, it’s that movie that Dad made back then.” And they got to see it in 3-D, at good light level and projection levels, for the first time.

Did you see details that you wished you could change?

I don’t think that way. It’s such an intense process when you’re editing a film and you have to fight for every frame that stays in. I felt pretty good about the creative decisions that were made back then. We spent a lot of time and energy improving our process in the decade-plus since. But there’s certainly nothing cringeworthy. I can see tiny places where we’ve improved facial-performance work. But it doesn’t take you out. I think it’s still competitive with everything that’s out there these days.

And that’s a place where I just drew a line in the sand and said, “You know what? I made ‘Titanic.’ This building that we’re meeting in right now, this new half-billion dollar complex on your lot? ‘Titanic.’ paid for that, so I get to do this.” And afterward, they thanked me. I feel that my job is to protect their investment, often against their own judgment. But as long as I protect their investment, all is forgiven.

What do you think has changed about the movie industry in the years since its release?

People are craving that. We’re still down about 20 percent from prepandemic levels, but it’s slowly building back. Partly it’s been because of a dearth of top titles that people would want to see in a theater. But “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” is the poster child for that. This is the type of film that you have to see in a theater.

Does knowing audiences want that blockbuster experience put more pressure on you?

There’s a sense of responsibility to do the best job we can and make it a moneymaker. But I don’t how that translates artistically to any decision I make on the movie. I don’t say, Hmmm, let’s put that plant over there because we’ll make more money. It doesn’t work that way. When it’s good enough, you kind of know.

I’m not going to feel guilty because my movie didn’t save the world. I certainly wasn’t the only voice back then, and I’m certainly not the only voice now, telling people that they have to change. But people don’t want to change. We love to burn energy. We love to eat our meat and dairy.

Are you concerned that in the time between the original and the sequel, audiences will have lost their connection to the story or its characters?

I was a little concerned that I had stretched the tether too far, in our fast-paced, modern world, with “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 2” coming in 12 years later. Right until we dropped the teaser trailer, and we got 148 million views in 24 hours. There’s that scarce seen but wondered at principle, which is, Wow, we haven’t seen that in a long time, but I remember how cool it was back then. Does that play in our favor? I don’t know. I guess we’re going to find out.

In the era of the original “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,” we learned that you possess a baseball cap bearing the letters “HMFIC” (a boastful if family-unfriendly personal description). Did that get any use on the making of “The Way of Water”?
