It’s official, all eight Harry Potter movies are coming to HBO on January 1, 2018. The internet was quick to catch onto the magical implications of HBO + H.P.

Some fans started making New Year’s Day plans early: “Can we stock up on Butterbeer and pumpkin cakes before this marathon?”

Others found an excuse for canceling plans: “I can finally reject my friend’s invitation to go to a New Year’s party and tell ‘em that I’m busy.” And, “I may never leave my house again!!!!”

Phil Matarese, of HBO’s Animals, inquired via Twitter “Why didn’t I know about this”? (Our owl never reached you?)

Some fans are already assembling an H.P.-watching wardrobe. As one said, “I will be in my sorting hat and show my Ravenclaw colors.”

And the yet-to-be initiated see this as an opportunity to discover what the fuss is about (in all-caps no less): “FINALLY ABLE TO WATCH THESE FILMS!!!”

For those who might have blacked out in joyous celebration at the news, here’s what the union means:

1. 1

   For the first time ever, all eight movies are available in one place, to stream anytime, anywhere.

2. 2

   They’ll join Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, already available to stream on HBO.

3. 3

   The movies will run unedited and commercial free.

4. 4

   Pausing to appreciate: Zero. Commercial. Breaks. Ever.

5. 5

   On January 1, starting at 9 a.m. ET, HBO is airing a Harry Potter marathon of all eight movies.

6. 6

   For the next week (January 2-9), HBO Family will air one Harry Potter movie a night at 8 p.m. ET.

One thing is certain, when January 1 hits, it’s time to nestle under your invisibility cloak and “accio” some takeout. It’ll be one magical start to the New Year.
