Recently Warner Brothers announced that the next Harry Potter will not be shown in theaters in 3D as they had promised earlier. Now this might come as a disappointment to some, but for everyone else, this is great news!
You see, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (parts 1 and 2) were shot using conventional 2D technology, as opposed to being shot with specific cameras for 3D. This next Harry Potter’s footage would have to be converted in order to be considered “3D”. Well, as it turns out, this process takes a lot longer than Warner Brothers expected, and they decided to pull the plug because they “were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality.”
This is great news because it shows that they actually care about the value they give their very dedicated Potter fans. Harry Potter’s huge fan base = lots of money. Instead of making more profit by releasing a 3D version of this movie (3D movie tickets cost more than normal movie tickets), Warner has decided not to disappoint and ruin Harry Potter’s fans’ experience.
Warner Brother’s Clash of the Titans last year, which was also converted from 2D to 3D, was severely criticized for having characters look like “cardboard cutouts on the screen.” It was just rushed. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, however, is still slated for a 3D release next year.
Not having enough time again prior to this Harry Potter’s release, it’s great to see that Warner Brothers is putting quality first this time. (Either that or they don’t want to make the same mistake again.) Haha
