Warner Brothers Entertainment had hoped to be able to transform the film into 3D format, which has taken off this year as an ever-growing number of blockbusters are produced using the eye-popping technology.
But “despite everyone's best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality,” the studio said in a statement about the latest big-screen installment of J.K. Rowling's saga.
“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 our audiences enjoy the consummate 'Harry Potter' experience,” Warner added.
The final chapter of the Harry Potter saga will be released in two parts: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” in November, followed by Part 2 which is scheduled for release next July, in both 2D and 3D formats.
