Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I will not be given the 3-D treatment, bucking the trend of action-packed blockbusters cashing in on the multi-dimensional craze.
Warner Bros. announced on Friday that when the first half of the final installment in the Harry Potter franchise is released on November 19, it will hit theaters and IMAX in standard 2-D, not 3-D.
"We will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window," the studio said in a statement. "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."
However, Harry Potter fans disappointed by the lack of 3-D wizardry in the first half of the finale should keep their chins up. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, which hits theaters and IMAX on July 15, 2011, will be available in 2-D and 3-D.
