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 God! If I go to see it in the theater I will not HAVE to pay extra. For some reason they only have 3D and won't let you pay less for a 2D version.

i really don't see WHY it needs to be 3D i mean, Schindler's List is freaking black and white but it's still the best movie ever made and enjoyable on contemporary standards

Truth to be told, I have yet to see a movie in 3D. I've avoided it because people say they get headaches... And I'm happy with 2D :D

Perhaps there is going to be a 3D re-release.

i never got one, but that's probably because Toy Story 3 is so good that it kinda helps you forget about it.

I haven't seen a movie in 3d but I have watched shows in 3d. It just looks like total crap.

I guess this is a good thing but I was kind of thinking that people might feel a bit cheated if they have to see the second part in 3D. What do I care? I lost interest in this series A LONG time ago. Kudos to those who still like it though.

Hopefully, they won't bother with making Part 2 in 3D. All 3D does is delay movie releases and make them more expensive.
