No need for 3D glasses for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1. Warner Bros. has confirmed that they didn't hit their deadline ... so the highly-anticipated film will only be featured in 2D.

The studio released the following 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.


The movie's director, David Yates, agrees with Warner Bros. Pictures' last minute change. Yates adds the decision was made to "preserve the integrity of Jo Rowling’s books."

Harry Potter fans may not get the 3D technology this time around, but don't count it out for the future. We've learned Deathly Hallows - Part 2 will be released as scheduled on July 15, 2011 in both 2D and 3D. Guess they're saving the best for last!
