After a year of much anticipation, HBO Max is finally available to stream. The service, a product of WarnerMedia, did not only come with their promised originals, HBO content, the Criterion Collection as well as a host of Studio Ghibli titles, but they also surprised fans with all eight “Harry Potter” films on the platform.

HBO Max is $15 a month, the same price as HBO and HBO Now. All AT&T, DirecTV and HBO Now customers have immediate access to the service. Others who get HBO through their cable company will have to wait until HBO Max makes new deals with their provider.

Today, AT&T reached a deal with Comcast to bring HBO Max to Xfinity X1 and Flex customers. WarnerMedia also sealed distribution deals with seven partners recently — Altice USA, Cox Communications, Microsoft Xbox, Samsung, Sony PlayStation, Verizon and the National Cable Television Cooperative — to carry the service when it launches. This was in addition to the deals the company has already sealed with Charter, Hulu, YouTube TV and Apple TV.

HBO Max allows for three simultaneous streams at a time across five unique user profiles, but does not support 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, though they plan to do so in the future. The streamer launched with 10,000 hours of programming and the app hosts separate hubs for content like HBO, DC, Sesame Workshop, Studio Ghibili, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, CrunchyRoll and Turner Classic Movies.

With so much to offer and a world of hype behind the service, it no wonder the service is trending on Twitter. Here is what some users have to say about the service thus far.
