It's time to say goodbye to one of the most famous sagas of all time... well, at least if you have Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, clear. It turns out that the Harry Potter movies, so far available on both platforms, pack their bags in a few days to never appear in the catalog again. The reason is that they go directly to another service. Keep reading and we'll tell you the move-in date and why this move is due.
Harry Potter, one of the great sagas of cinema
We won't tell you anything new if we tell you that the Harry Potter saga It is one of the most important in the history of cinema. To have brought to the big screen the stories of JK Rowling It was undoubtedly one of the best ideas that could be had and that is that all the films released have been authentic blockbusters, thanks both to the followers of the books (which number in the millions) and to those who discovered the stories once they came to life. and they were equally hooked on the adventures of the young magician.
And that Rowling never intended to turn this into something so big. The first stories about Harry were written at home with the intention of entertaining her young children, without thinking at the time that years later, her invention would make her one of the richest women in the United Kingdom (including movies, licenses, theme parks, etc.). , merchandising… has been made of gold).
Now everything indicates that fiction will take a giant step forward with another format: a TV series that the people of HBO Max would be preparing (it has not yet been officially confirmed) and that it would have to see the light of day in the not too distant future. This would, of course, imply some organizational and licensing changes and it is that at the same time that we know about its expansion, we also learn about its departure from the Netflix and Amazon Prime Video platforms. Are you tying the ends together?
hello hbo
Indeed, the departure of the entire Harry Potter movie saga from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video responds to a move by rights to another booming platform, HBO. Warner Media, which owns Warner Bros. Pictures (which has the rights to distribute the saga) and the platform of the three letters, has decided that it is time to sweep home and continue adding exclusive content to its own streaming catalog.
We know that with this objective he has already begun to make a move: there is a pending reunion between the actors of Friends, at least one spin-off of Game of Thrones already in process and has even confirmed the return of Sex and the City (the famous series of the 90). Now it would also be relocating the Harry Potter content for its own benefit, removing the tapes from its most direct competitors (note that NBC still has a contract in the US for its broadcast on its Peacock service) and keeping them to form an even better offer.
All this will only give body and shape to the great transformation project that HBO should undergo this year, when it becomes HBO Max in markets like Spain - that is at least what is expected, although we still have nothing confirmed.
When is Harry Potter no longer available on Netflix and Amazon?
The million dollar question for many at the moment is when the farewell will take effect and we are sorry to tell you, if you are a fan of the saga and used to see it from time to time, that the disappearance is imminent. And it is that you can enjoy the saga both in the red N and in the Amazon catalog until this next Sunday January 31.
