Just to note that the session can still be thoroughly hijacked through malicious javascript on a page protected by HTTPOnly cookies in that the malicious code can make AJAX requests in the users browser to your domain and the HTTPOnly cookies will automatically authorize them. The difference of HTTPOnly cookies vs Local Storage is that the hijacked session is limited to the users browser/computer in the HTTPOnly scenario and in the Local Storage scenario the token can be downloaded and used later by the attacker (this is somewhat mitigated by things like JWT expirations).
