The fan-favorite film saga surrounding the titular boy wizard played by Daniel Radcliffe (Miracle Workers) is based on J.K. Rowling’s book series phenomenon.

In an updated release shared with the press on May 27, it was announced that the franchise would be among the more than 2,000 films available within the service’s first year. Along with the Harry Potter films, the second film in the franchise’s spinoff series Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
The Harry Potter films were released between 2001 and 2011 and tell the story of Harry, a child who survives an attack from the magic world’s most powerful and evil dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. Years after the event which left his parents dead, Harry discovers the truth about his magical origins and is whisked away to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he meets new friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), along with a gaggle of others. The saga follows Harry’s destiny to fulfill his role as “the chosen one” and defeat Voldemort once and for all.
