Harry Potter Will NOT be in 3D!

[Dan2nd]

Well I read they decided to not release it in 3D because they felt they were unable to complete the transition to the standard they would have liked. Personally I'm glad they've decided to release it in 2D for the following reasons.

1. They could have decided to delay the film for 6 months whilst the finished the transition into 3D
2. They could have released it in 3D as it is now meaning a lot of people would have paid to see it in 3D and would have come out dispointed.
3. I've been to see films there were intended to be 3D (such as Christmas Carol, Avatar etc) and they were fantastic because they were created with 3D in mind.
4. I then go and see films like Toy Story 3 which I wish I just saw in 2D because the actual film was great but I couldn't help but feel dispointed as it was barely 3D and I felt it had 'ZOMGZ 3D' slapped on the front of it just because 3D is the 'in' thing at the moment.

There's a stark difference between picture quality and an entire visual dimension.

No, you're saying because it lowers picture quality there is no point in it. You do realise they have to start from somewhere and in 10 years or so it'll be of equal quality to the HDTVs they have then (quadhd might go mainstream for all that is known) so yeah. Nothing starts great and you shouldnt bash it because it's not amazing, yet.

I read about this last night on muggle.com:eusa_danc
I don't really mind because I was planning to watch it in 2D anyways, when I'm watching something in 3D i can't help but mess with the glasses.

I'm glad they changed it. If all 7(8) eventually do come out in 3D then I will probably see them anyway ;p



Did that really happen??

EDIT: Actually I read that Harry Potter was fast approaching the title of highest grossing... film series or whatever. Star Wars is currently at number one which is supposedly why they're planning on rereleasing their films in 3D. WB probably just did this so they can try out gross them after haha.

There are many reasons for the stop of 3D - they said the 3D wasnt ready but there was a lot of unhappy fans screaming on forums which played a big part

actually you should, thats how something becomes amazing

I was over the moon when I read their statement last night. I am so glad they won't be ruining the film by putting it into '3D'

I don't see how it will be "ruined", as you'll still get the choice between 3D and non 3D...
