A global pandemic has left many of us stranded in her homes, conforming to new ways of life. Whether this be the switch to a home workout routine, or the binge watching “binging” of TV shows and movies, life has certainly taken a turn in the entertainment realm.  Shows ranging from “Outerbanks,” a ten episode show traveling through the lives of a group of teenagers in pursuit of a mass amount of money, to “The Office,” a classic comedy show which keeps many hooked despite it being from the early 2000’s keep people drawn in and waiting for more interesting and appealing movies and shows. Recently among teen social media platforms has come the rise of Harry Potter despite its final movie production coming in 2011. This movie series draws in all ages, and consists of 8 movies, roughly with a 3 hour watch time for each.

Total profits of all 8 movies are estimated to be nearly 8 billion dollars, with never ending details which make you want to re-watch. Now, make the right move, and get started with them.
