Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 - Not in 3-D

Good news for Harry Potter fans as the premiere date for the latest movie gets closer, it was announced that despite several press releases stating it would be in 3-D, the movie will not be in 3-D when it hits theaters in November. I say this is good news because the "up converting" that has been done to the summer movies have left less than stellar results from fans and critics alike.

I am wondering, however, why there will be no 3-D action. The film technique revived by James Cameron's Avatar, has increased box office dollars quite a bit, and is likely the reason Avatar beat out Titanic for top spot in the dollar category. Since we all know it's all about the Benjamins, either someone stepped in to ensure the integrity and quality of the film, or they had a problem up converting. The latter would be surprising, since the Potter franchise has been a huge cash cow, and likely something studios would ensure would be the best it could.

So, are you happy it's not in 3-D, or do you like those funky glasses?
