According to a press release
this morning, IMAX will be transforming approximately 20 minutes at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from 2D to 3D.
Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures said:
We are so pleased to be bringing audiences yet another outstanding Harry Potter film to the big screen in both 35mm and IMAX theaters. This is the Studio's biggest franchise to date, and we expect this highly-anticipated fifth film to play phenomenally well in all theaters throughout the summer.
Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures International added:
The Harry Potter films are an enormous draw all over the world, and this film should prove to be no different. The last 20 minutes in IMAX 3D will add a new element of excitement to the Harry Potter experience, making this a must-see for fans of all ages. We're looking forward to a long and very successful run.
The movie will be released in IMAX and conventional theatres on July 13, 2007.
UPDATE: A new poster from the movie from IMAX has appeared online courtesy of TLC.

I love the idea to play the movie on IMAX. I would love to see it, although it would have been better to have the hole movie, not only the last 20 minutes, but it's still great!

That is nice. I heard IMAX 2D was not really that great and that it was just a huge screen. I was going to see Order on the IMAX screen but once I heard this I thought it was not worth the extra effort. I think all 3D for HBP and/or DH would be great!

Only 20? Why only 20? You might as well do the whole thing! But I am very happy about this.
How cool?! All the action will just pop out at you...
Wow. I'm so excited to see this now. I have to see it in 3-D the second it comes out!

Best poster so far! Ron is equal to Hermione in size and position, and Ron has a brave expression! And Harry is in the center so he's still clearly the focus. Finally, they did something right! Kudos to whoever designed it -- a job well done :)

Oh and about my first post, make sure you see on IMAX not OMNIMAX. OMNIMAX is just a bigger movie screen. IMAX is the round one..

IMAX is cool but OotP in 3-d? What's the point? There's really nothing in the end that needs to be un 3-D.

So why only twenty minutes? Is just a cost thing. Surely these movies make enough money to put the entire thing in 3D don't you think?

That really sounds great that the twenty minutes of the movie will be in 3-D, but i hope it is not too outragiously big and that it will not be so big and out there it will be really annoying and give me a headache. I will only see it in a regular theater though, but i wish they had it at regular movie theaters, it sounds really cool!

They should always have the HP Movies in IMAX and HD for the DVD, it just makes the movies better to enjoy.

My mom is taking me, my boyfriend, my brother, and his best friend to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in an IMAX theater near us as a gift for my seventeenth birthday and I'm going to be 17 reading the 7th book! This summer is going to rock!

But I don't understand why Ron's face has to be so in the dark...
