May 27th marked a big day in the "streaming service wars," as HBO Max officially launched.
And like Disney+, HBO Max is relying on its parent company Warner Bros.' own catalog of films, cartoon shorts, and TV series from throughout the decades to fill out its content offerings.
When HBO Max announced all its movie offerings, one of Warner's biggest movie franchises was noticeably absent from the list: Harry Potter!
Well, HBO Max delivered a huge surprise when it launched, as all of the Harry Potter films magically appeared along with the service!!!
And this isn't a case like when Disney+ launched, where movies would show up but have a "coming soon" date if you tried to watch it. You can fully stream the Harry Potter films now!
