In a bid to sweeten the deal to join their streaming service before the JUSTICE LEAGUE Snyder Cut arrives in 2021, HBO Max launched this morning with all eight HARRY POTTER movies made available on their platform.

HBO Max's film lineup will serve up more than 2,000 movies in the first year and the HARRY POTTER films are titles that will likely entice some fans to join the service. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint the HARRY POTTER franchise, without out inflation, is the third highest-grossing film series with $7.7 billion in worldwide receipts. If you happen to not own the films already, having them all in one place will make for a tempting binge challenge as we continue to quarantine in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In case you need a refresher, the films now available on HBO Max are HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE, HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS, HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1 and PART 2. In addition to those films, HARRY POTTER spinoff FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD will also be available on HBO Max via the HBO service.

Big Surprise That Harry Potter Movies Streaming on New HBO Max

It appears that executives behind the HBO Max launch wanted to keep this a surprise or something changed very last minute. Comments were made as recently as this week that expressed doubts that the blockbuster franchise would appear on the service any time soon. Previously, WarnerMedia sold the on-air and digital rights to the HARRY POTTER films to NBCUniversal, in a deal that was set to extend through April 2025. According to "Vanity Fair", even though representatives for WarnerMedia and HBO Max haven't commented on the matter, a deal may have been struck between WarnerMedia and NBCUniversal that allows HBO Max to be the exclusive streaming home for the franchise while NBCUniversal still holds the rights for linear television.
