The Harry Potter movies will be moving streaming services (again) in September 2024

As summer comes to an end in less than a month, it's time to look forward to the spooky season of the year, which brings us cooler temperatures, Halloween, and fantastical-horror vibes. Soon the days of summer blockbusters will be behind us and we'll be ushering in new horror movies to celebrate the fall. Along with new titles, we'll be rewatching some of the most classic Halloween movies, including Disney Channel favorites. Of course,Harry Potterbeing a Halloween or Christmas movie series is always up for debate, but do we really need much convincing to do a Wizarding World marathon?

If your answer, like ours, is "no," then you'll be happy to learn that theHarry Pottermovies are moving streaming services in September. If there are three certain things in life, they would be death, taxes, and theHarry Pottermovies moving from Peacock to Max and vice versa. That's because NBCUniversal's platform Peacock and Warner Bros.' service Max share the rights to the movies, which has been the case since 2020. Though the movies were produced by Warner Bros., NBCUniversalholds the broadcast rights, which is why you'll often seeHarry Potterplaying on channels like Syfy.

Marathon theHarry Pottermovies on Max this weekend

If you subscribe to Max instead of Peacock (or just prefer the Max interface as I do), then we come bearing good news.All eightHarry Pottermovies will be available to stream on Max starting on Sunday, Sept. 1!Peacock has included the films in their "Leaving Peacock Soon" section, so we can assume they will be leaving the platform on Aug. 31.

You might not be able to start yourHarry Pottermarathon on Max on Friday or Saturday night, but you can bet on a Sunday scaries watch to feel all the feels and get the comfort you need. Along with theHarry Pottermovies, Max will also be adding a long list of exciting titles in September. DC's Batman spinoffThe Penguinpremieres Sept. 19, while A24 moviesCivil WarandI Saw the TV Gloware being added on Sept. 13 and Sept. 20, respectively.

TheHarry Potterfilm series debuted in 2001 with the release ofHarry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, directed by Chris Columbus. The movies were absolute box office smashes and the series is currently thefifth-highest-grossing movie franchisein the U.S. and Canada. Though each entry varied in critical response, the movie franchise as a whole is regarded as one of the best. It's no wonder fans continue to marathon all eight movies as they relive their favorite memories. Make sure you're subscribed to Max in time for their return on Sept. 1.
