The Harry Potter movies on HBO Max for limited time

After disappearing (and reappearing) a few times on different streaming services, including Peacock, the wizarding world has finally landed in one place: all eight Harry Potter films are now streaming on HBO Max.

The final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 hit theatres in 2011, and was previously only streaming on Peacock (while the rest were already on HBO Max). With the addition of Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the adventures of Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) will finally be all in one place for some time. So what are you waiting for? Grab your wands and Hogwarts robes, because there’s never been a better time to be a Harry Potter fan.

Teen Titans Go! See Space Jam, and the monsters

Cartoon Network has released the first clip of Teen Titans Go! See Space Jam, which finds its titular team watching the classic 1996 Michael Jordan vehicle.

In the movie, the Titans watch Space Jam with the Nerdlucks (the little goobers who turn into the Monsters). They also accidentally give the Nerdlucks their powers, turning them into ‘Teen Titans Monsters’ — except the one who absorbs Robin’s powers, since, well, he doesn’t have any powers. You will see a lot of action, adventure and thrill taking place as both the teams come face to face with each other.

The special 80-minute movie will air on June 20th, on Cartoon Network ahead of its digital release on July 27.

Live-action Powerpuff Girls pilot reworked

According to reports, a live-action The Powerpuff Girls series is in plans, but there’s a twist — the series will focus on the girls not as little kids, but as disaffected adults.

Chloe Bennet will play de facto Blossom; Dove Cameron will play sweetheart Bubbles; and Yana Perrault joins as toughie Buttercup. Donald Faison will play their creator and father, Professor Drake Utonium.

Professor Drake is a scientific genius who is proud of the three extraordinary girls he created in his lab. Staring down a midlife crisis, he is determined to repair his relationships with his now-adult daughters.

Nicholas Podany will play Joseph “Jojo” Mondel Jr., the son of the villain Mojo Jojo. The show’s four leads (Bennet, Cameron, Perrault, and Faison) remain in their roles.
