Do I get native 4k ULTRA HD?

Yes. Warner Bros. decided to take a strange strategy when releasing Harry Potter on UHDBD, releasing the second four episodes on the format first. There was talk that the first four were not yet ready for UHD and would have to undergo a complete remastering, as their visuals were not convincing (as evidenced by the quality of the previous Blu-rays). Therefore, the studio made new scans of the original negatives (all episodes were shot on 35mm film) and although the VFX were rendered in 2k, the master of the new transfer has been upscaled to 4k, making the Ultra HD Blu-ray capable of exploiting the full potential of the filmstrip. This refresh makes for a huge qualitative leap for the first four volumes, which reviewers praise in terms of detail level, sharpness, colour rendition and contrast work. The original Blu-rays are incomparable next to the new transfers, according to them.
