Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 won't be in 3-D after all

Imagine that — a studio realizes that a movie will look poopy in 3-D, so they decide not to do it. Warner Bros. decided the first half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be 2-D only.

Said Warners in a statement:

Warner Bros Pictures has made the decision to release "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1" in 2D, in both conventional and IMAX theaters, as we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window. Despite everyone's best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint fans who have long-anticipated the conclusion of this extraordinary journey, and to that end, we are releasing our film day-and-date on November 19, 2010 as planned. We, in alignment with our filmmakers, believe this is the best course to take in order to ensure that our audiences enjoy the consummate "Harry Potter" experience.

We knew Harry Potter had amazing powers, but the ability to vanquish the trend towards last-minute, eye-bleeding 3-D conversions? That's incredible.

    Thank all that is good and holy. I didn't want to pay an extra four dollars just to see Emma Watson's chest in perspective.

    3D and 2D are essentially the same, the poppy-ness doesn't really make it better, it's only epic when it's 4D 8D

    it's nice when a company doesn't rush things and instead chooses to put out a quality movie instead.

    3D movies are awesomish. I seen toy story 3 in 3D, was excellent. But kinda distracting from the movie I think.

    YES! I am sooo looking forward to see this movie, and I'm still sure that 3D is still in the experiment process, so I'm glad that harry is not going to be in 3D :D

    3D only worked for the movie Avatar, really. If a movie isn't focussed on its 3D-effects, the effects add nothing at all.
