Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows Won't Get 3D Treatment

3D movies have been invading the cinemas in these few past years. The highest grossing movie of all time is James Cameron’s Avatar which is the first film ever to reach the $2 billion ceiling. Following its lead, some of the high budget films released this year 3D movies like Clash of the Titans, Alice in Wonderland, How to Train Your Dragon, Toy Story 3, and The Last Airbender. They all benefit from the higher ticket prices in 3D cinemas, which mean higher profits. But some of these films suffered some backlash from Clash of the Titans, Alice in Wonderland, and The Last Airbender were panned critics due to its hasty and crappy conversions to 3D. Warner Bros. said before that when you watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows online or in theaters, both films will be seen in 3D.

But the studio has released a statement that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will not be converted into 3D, which is probably a good thing for fans. People won’t get charged extra for something that is not only pointless, it will also be more of a distraction than an asset. And kudos should be given to Warner Bros. for not thinking about the benefits of the higher prices and not sacrificing the quality of the film.

Warner Bros. stated that, “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.”

Some of the people behind the seventh Harry Potter movie, producer David Heyman and director David Yates, also backed up the studio’s decision. Heyman said, "For 10 years, we have worked alongside Alan Horn and the studio, whose priority has always been to preserve the integrity of Jo Rowling's books as we have adapted them to the screen. This decision reflects that commitment." Yates also commented, "This decision, which we completely support, underscores the fact that Warner Bros. has always put quality first."

There is no need when you watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows online, you won’t be served with the poor use of 3D.
