Are the Harry Potter Movies, Christmas films? [Day 4]

Last year we debated the classic "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?" (it's not a Christmas film).

But it has sparked other debates about other films. And whether they are Christmas movies. I saw an argument that the Harry Potter films were Christmas movies. 

Screen Rant posted an article last year with reasons why fans think there are. 

• Each film features a Christmas scene or refers to Christmas. 
• They are always on during the lead up to Christmas. 
• Many of them were first released to cinema in November. 

Although my family watch the Harry Potter around Christmas time, I wouldn't say they were Christmas films.

What do you think?

I also like to watch them over and over! There is something nostalgic about them

Die Hard is a Christmas film to me!
Harry Potter isn't, but I do enjoy watching them at Christmas

Harry Potter films encompass the whole school year, so I'd not say they're Christmas films, but Christmas is mentioned.  You could say it's a summer holidays film too. 

But they do mostly have that feelgood vibe you want from a movie to watch over xmas.
