'Harry Potter' Weekend Schedule: Check out the full Freeform marathon lineup
Say hello to the beginning of the end for Harry Potter Weekend on Freeform. Now that NBC has bought the rights to the boy wizard film franchise, Freeform will have to cease its Harry Potter marathons by the end of 2017. NBC will have an exclusive hold on the movies from 2018 through April 2025, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Of course, 2018 isn't here yet. Freeform's last Harry Potter Weekend of 2016 (and the first of 2017) will run from Friday, Dec. 30 to Jan. 2. On Jan. 1, there will be a one-hour break for the premiere of the new sci-fi drama, Beyond, at 9 p.m. Eastern.
