In just a few months of existence, HBO Max has already proven that it’s going to be a little more loose with its comings and goings than some of the other streamers. A lot of that has to do with its connection to regular HBO, which—unlike, say, Netflix—doesn’t always hold on to the items in its streaming library for years and years. Plus, a lot of the stuff on HBO Max was already on HBO for a while, so it has already put in its streaming time, and also there are some movies out there that are associated with a particular writer who is not exactly having a good moment, so maybe it’s not a big deal for HBO Max if those movies are quietly shuffled away.
All of that is to say that the eight Harry Potter movies will be leaving HBO Max in August, and while it may be unusual to start off one of these streaming guides with a thing that’s leaving, Harry Potter has enjoyed its own dedicated section on the HBO Max homepage since launch. What’s going to take its place? The pre-Dark Knight Batman movies (plus The Dark Knight)? Well, maybe, because those are all coming to HBO Max in August.
HBO Max users can also catch Selena Gomez’s cooking show Selena + Chef, Seth Rogen’s An American Pickle, the series premiere of HBO’s Lovecraft Country, Richard Jewell, Birds Of Prey (and DC Universe’s Harley Quinn TV show), and Jojo Rabbit. For anime fans, HBO Max is getting Inuyasha (which was extremely popular when certain pop culture writers were in high school) and Aldnoah.Zero (which is a clever deconstruction of mecha anime tropes that, in true mecha anime fashion, eventually falls apart a little).
The full list of what’s coming to (and going from) HBO Max in August is below. Titles with “(HBO)” are going to be on regular HBO if you only have that, but if you only have regular HBO… double-check and make sure you don’t also have HBO Max.
